OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 523rd 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:

When it comes to investing I am particularly careful, in this case it was no exception because it was my main work tool, the choice of the most suitable Notebook that could meet my requirements 😎.

My mind is always telling me that I don't have enough knowledge about it yet, therefore I shouldn't even speak about it. This deep and wrong belief is keeping me from progressing. I'm paralysed by fear. But then... Aren't we all afraid?

Last weekend, my Aunt Bb who lives in Carmen visited us at home. Unfortunately, I was not at home because I have to render an overtime at work. Just a back story, my Aunt Bb married late and spent most of her single years bonding with us cousins. She always brings us food whenever she got home from her work shift. That's why we are so close to her. She left home after she got married and we rarely see her from then on. She sometimes visits us or attend special occasions. So when she visited us again she called me and told me that I should buy her a gift 😂 ( I promised her I would buy her a gift if I received my first pay in my new job). We don't have any other time in buying the gift since she will be going home the next day, so I decided to meet her at SM Seaside. My aunt brought a lot of my cousins at SM Seaside. I came to the mall late since my other aunt and I have to go somewhere else. While she was with my cousins, they tour her around and she got a massage in the massage chair at the mall.

Childhood, that word that transports us to those moments of our childhood, moments and memories that left us marked forever, that formed us as a person and thanks to that we are who we are today.

Here in Seaview, in Lower Puna, on the far eastern side of the Big Island of Hawai'i, we had very rainy and cloudy weather for a week. After so much rain and clouds, my partner, @/kai-sunrise, and I were craving sun and beach, so we decided to take the opportunity to walk to Kehena, a locally beloved black-sand beach that has been clothing-optional since 1955, and is within walking distance from The Sanctuary of The Blue Dragon, where Kaï and I both live.

Dyeing my hair was not in my vocabulary 'til I was invited for an 18th Birthday party. I was thinking that a little change with my look for that special day would be lovely, so I go for the most obvious change I could make. And there, just last Saturday I visited a salon and got my hair dyed.

Hello dear friends of ecotrain, I hope you are all well, we certainly live in strange times, or rather, we are the strangers. Unlike for example the boomer generation, which was a generation that lived for many years the risk of the annihilation of the human race in a nuclear war, and this formed a culture of fear and preparedness, we process the tragedy and the danger of another potential global catastrophe in a different way. With black humor. Today I will show you a bit of such black humor regarding one of the forms of climate tragedy.

Somehow I'm sitting out at the point waiting for a wave and talking about period pants. This is unusual for me, surfing with girls. They talk about babies and periods and call each other onto waves. 'Go Laura!' they shout, as Laura paddles madly for a wave, and they hoot and call as she takes off. I'm feeling kinda awkward, on my longboard. I usually surf a paddleboard, so being on this level with the girls is an unusual angle and space for me.

I like telling myself or anyone who feels their lives aren't going as planned that, "time is our greatest ally". Every time it feels as though my efforts aren't yielding the expected results, I'll always remember that.

My late father was musician, nothing major but he was in the choir when he was younger. So anytime he shaves outside he’ll sing. And I loved that because he was good. I guess because of him most of my siblings in a way have a connection to music. My eldest brother who’s biochemist was in the choir, my eldest sister was in the choir also. My younger brother could rap and my little sister has the vocals. For me the talent is there also, I love to sing. I won’t say I’m the best but I try and more of the time I sing to the girls because they appreciate it more 😂

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.
