Great article about a frustrating issue in curling and many sports ⬇️

[Al Cameron @AlCameronCC]

Six days into the Brier and not a single emailed fan complaint about players screaming too loud. Truly wish I could say the same during the Scotties. But, of course, I can't. It's International Women's Day, and you should read this column about why that crap needs to stop.

Over half of the wildlife species chosen to represent NFL teams are threatened throughout part or all of their range. As @SeanNatureServe
says, it's time for the NFL to put its money where it's mascots are

[NatureServe @natureserve]

"...of the 16 wildlife species chosen to represent [sports] teams, over half are threatened throughout part or all their range." In light of the upcoming #SuperBowl, check out this new piece by NatureServe President & CEO, @SeanNatureServe. #biodiversity

I'm enjoying diving into old @TopChefCanada seasons during these strange times, but feel a need to address the number of times #lichen is referred to as a moss during the Nordic food challenge in Season 7 #algae (or #cyanobacteria) #fungi #symbiosis
