We have broken the ceremonial ice for the new @curlaksarben.bsky.social facility
A sledgehammer and a curling stone sit on a green carpet in a concrete warehouse. A block of ice is shattered behind the stone and sledge, with shards littering the carpet throughout.

I've had an iPhone Duo for years now, it just wasn't made by Apple
A Surface Duo held in a hand with two apps running side by side: Bluesky on the left (showing a post about curling) and a browser on the right (showing a weather forecast)

Watching the Hill team from @curlaksarben.bsky.social try to get to arena nationals one last time while sipping coffee from my Aksarben coffee mug
Foreground, right: a white ceramic coffee mug with a red lining. The side of the mug has a crest for Aksarben Curling, reading Aksarben Curling in a red ring around a shield, crossed brooms, a curling stone, and the year 1958. Background: a vertical video stream from an arena curling setting. You can see two people standing at a playing end but can't make out any details.

Gotta love summer curling in the fog 🥌
Curling stones with red and yellow handles sit in a frosty curling house (concentric red and blue circles). On the side, a player is on one knee pushing a stone out. Dotted in the background are silhouettes of other players, their details lost in the fog.

Welcome back @serwewx.bsky.social
Live coverage of severe storms over Omaha. Here, the Meteorologist speaks to camera while a hail core is north of Omaha while all the active warnings stream across the bottom of the screen. In the background is an open window through which you can see indiscriminate green leaves.

Not bad, not bad. 5-2 record on the weekend and got a memento for the trouble 🥌
In the foreground: a clear hexagon etched with "Queen City Color Games C Event Winner Charlotte Curling" in a wooden base. Behind is a scene from a half-empty curling club with colorful tinsel and the bottom half of a hornet with a curling stone and broom in its arms
