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

This from a US Olympian, and a whole lot more, in my latest #curling newsletter curlingintheusa.substack.com/p/usa-curlin...

*Goes to grad school in psychology simply so I can publish one paper explaining that the entire state of MN has rejection sensitivity*

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

How to watch the AMJ Masters @grandslamofcurling.bsky.social 🥌

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

New word discovered: 🥌

Isabella Laing deserves to be a full-time curling commentator, she's asking great questions! 🥌

front-end mantra

Skipper is out of town so we played with 3 tonight and crushed Ailsa Craigslist. #broomshakalaka #curling

Excited to announce that DCS has been acquired by Broomfitters! Darcy and Paul are shifting into retirement mode and leaving the company in the capable hands of Than Tibbetts, founder of Broomfitters. Given Than's strong business savvy and MN roots, we know the future is bright for DCS!

The U21 movement is in full swing. Team Johnson out of Minnesota has won the best of 5 Pre-Trials event to secure their spot at the women's US Olympic Trials! Both junior national champion teams won their respective Pre-Trials events.

Congratulations to Team Johnson winning a spot at the Olympic Trials! #curling

The Women's Olympic pre-trials are happening at Chaska Curling this weekend 🥌 www.youtube.com/live/9LBlumu...

It's league night, folks. It's been a hell of a week. #curling

This is going to be a fun season to watch Minnesota curling teams. Go Teams Johnson and Sinnett!

Good morning to everyone watching Team Peterson at the Saville Shootout 🥌

Nobody at the curling club except me and Connor of Team Sinnett (who is in Edmonton at the moment). 🥌

Going to write a country song called "The Bar Closes Before the Curling Club"

Is @seashmore.bsky.social at the Minnesota State Fair?

Dang @stpauligrrrl.bsky.social your crop art looks even better in person #curling

Bonspiel blue iced tea from Urban Glow mocktails 🥌

Why am I so intrigued by doubles curling?

If @teamhoman.bsky.social's new beer collaboration isn't a dubbel or tripel I'll understand but still consider it a missed opportunity

I highly recommend a visit to Itasca Curling Club for one of their bonspiels this season. Their ice making team is incredibly talented and the members throw a fun event. #curling

League games start in three weeks and I am unhappy to say that I have once again wasted my summer. #curling

USA Curling Coach Phil Drobnick announced his plan to retire www.wdio.com/sports/phill...

Just got to the curling club and the manager is bewildered that all the sheets are full and reservations are pouring in for practice ice on a Tuesday. Seems like a positive!

Curling in New Zealand sounds pretty cool www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

In case you need your imposter syndrome ratcheted up further: Homan can curl better than most of the world with one good eye and one hand tied behind her back.

Got a newbie on the ice yesterday and all of a sudden there's John Shuster throwing a few stones on the adjacent sheet. Pretty cool story for the new guy! 🥌

USA Curling announced today that they are caving to the administration's demands and banning trans women from all sanctioned women's competition. Here is my open letter to the curling community. thecurlingnews.com/news/communi... #Curling #USACurling #trans

Truly, I understand the difficult position USA Curling is in here. Either way, significant portions of our community will be disenfranchised. I’m certainly not happy or proud, and I look forward to rescinding this future policy at the earliest possible moment. ❤️🥌💙 www.usacurling.org/press-releas...

Registration for The Big Spiel opens 9/1/2025! Check it off your bucket list and play Jan 8-11, 2026 🥌 www.twincitiescurlingassociation.org

@tajmaindevil.bsky.social I'm digging the new profile pic

Stopped at the curling club after dropping the kids off at a function and ran into my skip, so we got to practice together for a bit.

Team Shuster and Team Peterson will represent the U.S. on home ice at the 2025 Pan Continental Curling Championships. Shuster and Peterson came out on top during this weekend's playdowns. #curling

This season might have the most 🥌 on TV and streaming in the history of the sport. Go to Curlingzone.com for every link.

Sunday morning curling with Strouse v Cousins for the Pan Continental tiebreaker www.youtube.com/live/QjF9luQ...

The MACA Regional play downs are streaming at youtube.com/@fourseasons... Good curling on sheet C right now!

Ope! 🥌

Dropkin vs. Casper just warming up for the Pan Continental Championship Play downs at Chaska. IT'S TRS TIME BABY www.youtube.com/live/XR5zUNa...

Big news for Team Johnson: Gianna Johnson received the 2025 USA Curling Outstanding National Performance Award and Chris Johnson was named Break Out Coach for 2025. Congratulations to both!

Curlers, how many times have you been sent the groundhogs curling meme? I don't have enough fingers and toes to count

@jonathanbrazeau.bsky.social Congratulations on joining @grandslamofcurling.bsky.social!

The most exciting thing in curling* is happening at four seasons this weekend. Why are arena curlers playing on dedicated ice? I thought fighting with hockey players for time was part of the skill set! *on this app

I'll tell you what. If Google reader hadn't died, I'd be better off.

Are they updating the presidential fitness standards to account for trackflation? I'd drop out of school in 5th grade if I had to be held to those standards (I was bad at sports and also competitive. Nasty combo)
