In addition to my work at @3downnation.bsky.social, I'm pleased to announce that I've joined The Curling Group as a reporter for Rock Channel.

I'm looking forward to working with @devinheroux.bsky.social and the many talented people in and around my favourite winter sport.

Love the origin story, feels really familiar. It's definitely the people!

A message from the SVCC Board of Directors on the issue of transgender participation in sports.

Transgender athletes are part of our club, our sport, and our community. They deserve to participate fully and authentically in curling, free from exclusion or harm. Rules that limit participation based on gender identity are damaging to those directly targeted and to our community as a whole.

The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee has issued new guidelines restricting transgender participation, which all National Governing Bodies, including USA Curling, must follow. These directives did not originate in curling, but they affect curlers everywhere.

At Silicon Valley Curling Club, we are clear: trans athletes are welcome. We believe that people are the best curlers when they have the freedom to be their genuine selves. Furthermore, we believe that the SVCC community is better when it is representative of the communities in which we curl. We welcome and encourage people of any gender, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, or any group to join our activities, including leagues, bonspiels, Learn to Curls, instructional & developmental events, and more. Exclusionary language, behavior, and harassment are taken seriously at SVCC, and our members are expected to understand and follow the club's Code of Conduct.

SVCC stands in solidarity with curling clubs around the country who are committed to transgender participation in sport, and we urge curlers of all genders to add their voices of support to this cause.

Ya know there's a point in some games where you don't really need to hang the score anymore and they didn't quite understand that's what we were doing.

Joe 🥌 @bluehone.bsky.social · 12d

I wish I'd tried curling.

Had a great night of curling but the lead from the opposing team kept hanging our score. We realized it in the third and just ignored it.

Best part of the night was when the bartender had nachos ready for us when we got off the ice. 🥌 #broomshakalaka

There are no Scandinavian languages available so everything Ramsfjell says gets captioned in English, sorta funny.

Joe 🥌 @bluehone.bsky.social · 13d

There's no option for Norwegian so instead it guesses whatever Ramsfjell says is English

After our opponent slashed out our stone to lie four in the second end we kinda lost steam.

For the Canadians the guy scraping the ice is going to be playing the MCT challenge in Winnipeg, so give a cheer for Team Sinnett if you get to watch.

I get to spare a game after a busy work day where I sit at a laptop and analyze stuff (while watching @grandslamofcurling.bsky.social). My brain is mush so I'm grateful to be lead tonight. #curling

A photo taken from dining area shows a curling rink with a person operating an ice-resurfacing machine. The ice surface is white with large blue and white concentric circles, or "houses." A table with cutlery, condiments, and a chair is in the foreground, and through a window to the left, a rack of brightly colored curling stones can be seen. The walls of the rink are lined with the flags of various countries, including China, Sweden, and Australia.
