OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 720th 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:

Hello friends 🐝 I hope you are very well, today starts the weekend so I bring you a delicious dessert and super fast to make at home to share this weekend with the family, I'm talking about delicious strawberries with cream, it is super refreshing for a mid-afternoon where the heat is stronger. Yesterday when I was at the supermarket buying some jellies, I saw that there was an envelope containing a powder to make Chantilly at home and I did not hesitate to compare it because at home I had some strawberries and I craved strawberries with cream.

Because of my lack of experience in writing and interactions with the other hiver, I only get small votes making me feel discouraged. So after 2 months, I only make at least 1-2 posts each month from October to December. After that, I got busy with other stuff and stopped posting for 3 months from January to March last year. Then I decided to continue my blogging with the constant reminder of Romeskie. But whenever I have a crochet order and got busy with the kids, and other stuff, my time in Hive got lesser, that those times I was only using my cellphone.

The history of this place has an interesting story and how the place became the main spot for Thai restaurants and groceries. For over four years of staying in this city, I somehow witnessed how the city underwent an urban transformation and some Thai residents and businesses were badly affected. Yet, some remain to continue to serve Hong Kong residents authentic Thai cuisine and other products.

Yesterday we went to visit Pailin province, which is rich in gems. We left early in the morning. From Battambang to Pailin is not far. We only drive about 2 hours to reach.

In this world full of uncertainties, I am one of the millions with a bunch of insecurities. There are moments in my life when I was too afraid of the audience because I am not confident enough to face the world where people give various comments and opinions about you, whether they know you or not.

My first suggestion is for your child to choose a plate in the shop they absolutely love; like their latest cartoon character they enjoy watching on television. Match it with a tumbler and cutlery set.

My second suggestion is to actually use it. Yep... you read that right! You wouldn't believe how many parents don't use plates but simply slap a sandwich together and give it to their child in the hand.

The warm afternoon foretold of rain. Clouds gathered in the sky, but the only brought heat. As I kept working on my instrument, it occurred to me that a voice was calling. The sound was faint at best. But after laying down my tools, I could hear it better.

Next, I want to show you the pieces of my closet in this color. Literally, almost all my clothes and accessories are mostly in this color because I particularly feel very feminine. In college I carried a Victoria's Secret Pink sweater that I wore on rainy days, it was the only one I had and I loved the color. In fact, I always joke with my friends and call me "Barbie" and my husband "Ken" because most of the time I wear various shades of this color to work.

So!... this weekend I'm eating date cookies and koeksisters (a traditional Afrikaner confectionery) made of fried dough infused in syrup, absolutely delicious, not good for the hips at all, any way, one cannot eat to many as they're very sweet and extremely rich.

Today I come to share a craft that I made with scraps of fabric and recycled material, today's craft is about tulips, which were made with red foami, I also decorated a glass bottle to decorate and embellish it to place inside the tulips that I have made.

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.
