OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 1000th compilation post of OCD's latest curation efforts. It has been known that OCD has been supporting leading niche communities under its Community Incubation Program. However, there are still a lot of other niche communities not supported by OCD. This curation initiative will help in supporting those communities.

This newest curation effort aims to encourage authors to post in appropriate communities even if those communities are not under the incubation program. This will also encourage users to explore more into the different communities in Hive.

OCD curators and community leaders will find posts from other niche communities and recommend them for an upvote. Unlike those communities in the incubation program where curation is focused, this curation initiative is spread out. This will help find undervalued posts from smaller communities that deserve support.

This will highlight both the author and the community where the post is located. This way, smaller niche communities can focus on growing their subscribers and increasing the engagements within their respective communities. A small boost goes a long way.

Speaking of boost, here are the curated posts for this batch:

In times of controversy, even if it is between celebrities, it is interesting to reflect from the entrepreneur's point of view on the ways in which this whole situation is being handled after Shakira's song. Beyond all the meanings that can be given from a couple, something interesting here is also the evident immersion in the marketing world that this situation has unleashed.

So my older sister was getting divorced at the time, and she needed a witness to go down to the courthouse to sign the papers. She decided to ask me to bear witness, and we agreed to meet at our dad's place a few hours before her hearing. Now, this would be a few hours before my work shift, and I was quite the toker back then, so I brought some Devil's lettuce (and all of the supplies to smoke it) with me. I also did not feel like leaving the supplies at my dad's, waiting God knew how long to get it back, so I put it in my bag and brought it with me--down to the courthouse! 😅

Miss Japonica is actually a bush. Such a common looking one, that when it’s not in flowers I don’t even notice walking past it. As you can see, the flowers aren’t all that significant either. They kinda get lost in the greenness of it all and only when you look closer can you see the amazing detail of the flowers.

Grating succulents and cacti is a fun thing for me to do. I started to graft on succulents many years ago just for the fun of learning a new trick. Grafted cacti were expensive then and I paid dearly for every cacti I lost. I decided that I'd try to do the thing myself and learn that skill by trying it out on the plant resources I had. Selenicereus undatus or dragon fruit grows wild in my garden so I use it for all my grafting trials.

I have once again picked up reading the Harry Potter series from where I left off last month - The order of the Phoenix. With winter flexing its wings, I have been curled under the comfort of my blanket and the book supported on my chest, or sometimes on a pillow as my eyes read on. I don't know if it's the cold or what, I've been longing for midnight snacks every time I sit lie down with a book for the past few days.

At a very young age, while working in pubs and clubs as a bartender, I quickly realised that the more I was able to ‘ just be me’ and the less of an act I had to put on then the less mentally exhausted I would be at the end of a working shift. I would push the boundaries a little with people to see what I could get away with and found it was just a matter of knowing when to and when not to say certain things. More of a natural filter than an act. Whereas I would watch my colleagues full on adopt a ‘persona’ to suit the situation. I was never comfortable being fake and misleading like that. Not at all.

Actually today I had no intention of going on an adventure into the forest, because I am one of those people who are very addicted to cigarettes, so I don't have the money to buy them, so it crossed my mind that instead of feeling dizzy, I'd better spend a little time in forest. I only need a machete to enter the forest, just to be on guard and to be able to cut down the bushes blocking the path, even almost every day I do this kind of work, just walking around and enjoying the tropical forest air. You all know that the forest has amazing oxygen, that's why I really like spending time in the forest.

Since it's almost the weekend, I took advantage of the fact that my dad is on vacation and my nephew is staying at home with us these days to make a delicious dessert to sweeten their afternoon. So today I bring you a delicious recipe for cornstarch alfajores filled with dulce de leche, here are the steps. I hope you like it 😊

Anyway, it feels like just a couple of days ago, when last Wednesday I was sitting here, walking with you and discovering some amazing destinations and seeing your homes through your eyes and it is a pleasure to be here once again sharing your world with you and part two of my ROCKIN THE ROCKS ON THE SYDNEY ROCKS WALKING TOUR with the lovely Sofi, who took myself and a small group of people for a walk around the historical rocks area in Sydney to share the sites and the stories with us.

Hello everyone! And beforehand good morning, I know it's a bit weird to start the year talking about something I did or what happened to me last year actually, some of you may know that the headphones I had before broke some time ago, basically they fell to the floor like Buzz Lightyear when he throws himself from the stairs, this was a frustrating fact for me, because in times when my homework would come by lots the only thing I wanted was to concentrate on it and "move away" in the best way possible from any distraction. But I finally managed to buy some new headphones, a couple of days after Christmas I decided to buy some that I'm sure you have already seen on several occasions, they are very common headphones because of their low price, but is their quality what makes them popular? Today I will tell you my short experience with these headphones and everything about them.

This concludes this batch's curation report. We would like to congratulate those who are featured and supported. Keep up the good work and continue to explore Hive Communities.
