OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 745th 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 everyone, I'm Yowi and I like to cook pastry, especially making cakes for birthdays or for any occasion, it's my way of showing affection, this time I bring you my favorite cake recipe, the original recipe is from my youtuber from favorite cuisine paulina cooks, but it has variations of mine.

Obviously these changes that are produced internally in our being are not instantaneous, but many times they carry an implicit process or perhaps we can adopt this way of facing life, after living strong experiences, that move our internal structures and that make us rethink life.

In reality, any type of relationship that we kihuman beings establish should be based on respect, understanding, appreciation of our own value and the ability to foster bonds in an authentic way, but sometimes this is not fulfilled. Certainly, there are circumstances in which these kinds of values that should prevail begin to be lost little by little and give way to the dreaded lack of respect, indifference and disinterest, and the following question is a useful one.

Who would have thought that I would ever have a graphic tablet, maybe destiny is directing me back to the world of art, illustrations and animations. About two years ago I started working for a dream; I wanted to create a YouTube channel to make children's videos, that's when I started using some graphic design software and even animation. I started working like crazy, I even attended two courses, one of after effects and another one of Photoshop.

Husband has new hobby recently, which is to hunt markdown food at supermarket. He managed to hunt a real good deal before, like fish and chicken at markdown price, it was worth the buy because the meat was still fresh actually, but it was advised to put into freezer immediately if we were not cooking that day. Hence, the store did not prefer to put back and to sell again the next day.

I have here a green salad (for two) that I made for dinner and with it, I made a caramelized button mushrooms to add a kick to the taste. We love our green salad a bit sweet and sour. And so I harvested some lettuce from my container garden for a fresh main ingredient. The freshly picked leaves are knackig, its trunk-like middle part makes a crispy sound whenever it is being munched.

Happy and beautiful day everyone! Today is one of those special days for me, a day of great importance for the celebration of the 3rd birthday of my little goddaughter Alanis, a girl who has completely changed her life since she came into my life, even though I am not so present in her life, just spending time with her is enough to realize how wonderful she is, a great little person with just 3 years who fills all of us who have the joy of knowing her with joy, today being her special day I want to talk to you a little about her and share some photos of our few but happy moments together, without further ado, ¡here I show you!

Hive is my little cave of expression, peace and socialism for my anti-social self. For someone who isn't very outgoing and doesn't like to be involved much with people, Hive was my best place to be.

Particularly, I am a person who loves a simple lifestyle. Over the years, I have realized that the most important thing is the quality moments you spend with your family and friends. Sometimes we damage these moments by being preoccupied with making an elaborate meal and the truth is that this makes me sad. Recently it happened to me with some friends. We had not seen each other in person for a long time because of the pandemic and since the number of Covid-19 cases in our country has decreased, the authorities have relaxed the biosecurity measures. We are now able to meet in person.

I have previously discussed about these tomatoes at the same location, but at that time the age of the tomatoes I meant was still relatively young and had not yet reached harvest. After a month later I returned to the garden to see the development of the tomato plants, and coincidentally there (the owner of the garden) was harvesting tomatoes which he took good care of.

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.
