Every edition features awesome people but I gotta keep it fresh, ya know? Here's a totally biased post on posts I find stand out, do good or have some heart and mind put into them. I'm thinking the below paragraph is going to just be in most of the initiative's posts moving forward.

😍 Another dose of some posts that stand out for a variety of reasons. Although it's totally subjective as is the nature of "curation" itself, I hope you can find some picks in here to spread that love to and also get that curation love back. Don't box in your heart when it comes to the STS fam and watch the magical rainbows of sporty love shower their awesomeness right back on ya'. On to the posts!..........ONE LOVE! 😍

• In case you are not familiar with a couple of the main players who are running Burn initiatives, allow me to drop a couple links. When I read that the coin is "dying", it is hard to maintain my notoriously tenacious ways. Burn projects help the ecosystem thus helping everyone by 'burning' off some of those extra pounds.

*Both @talesfrmthecrypt and @baa.steemit have been regularly doing this with some real nice participation and results. It's a Win/Win Scenario and don't forget that you get rewarded with curation by supporting projects like these. (and mine which is featuring some new users who are adding some much needed shine to keep things going...)

  @yuriitonkov presents an interesting idea on how to reward more with clubs. I have no idea if this will take off or not but it's nice to see some brainstorming going on and something different. There are some good points or takeaways and anything that makes you think vs. just a regurgitation of stats can be a welcomed sight.

  @rezoanulvibes grinds harder then almost anyone I see and it is paying off on STS. In this post he tackles a VERY important subject of Domestic Violence. As a woman who does a lot on blockchain I see the less then savory aspects of human behavior play out. I'm a big time advocate for domestic violence awareness and encourage people to stand their grounds, know their rights and how to defend themselves. Being abusive verbally, financially, bullying, theatening, or GOD FORBID attacking physically is NOT OKAY. This is a great post Rezo!

  @donatello adds fun and lively videos to get your groove on to. I love to dance when I can and it keeps you in shape and "SPARKS JOY" as Marie Kondo would say. It's a nice sunshiney break that reminds us all to loosen up and keep things fun.
