OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 786th 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:

A little over 8 years ago I discovered that I love doing crafts, an idea that did not come to me by itself, all that initiative was presented since my daughter Dariana was born and before otherwise he showed no interest in these activities. **As my grandmother used to say, the maternal instinct drives us to do things that we had never done before and that was my case**. I spent a lot of time watching tutorials, step by step, focusing more than anything on accessories for girls, because I wanted to learn how to make things so that my baby girl would look more beautiful than she was at that time and I dedicated myself to making bow designs and other little things for her first time. Not only was I lucky to have my daughter, she later became the model for bows and the inspiration for my creations.

Hello friends, happy afternoon, I hope you are all well, today I was thinking of making a totally vegan three-course lunch, but before doing so, I must plan and practice the recipes that I want to offer my guests, and today I thought of preparing a spicy pumpkin and lentil cream that would be super good as an appetizer, so I got down to work with the ingredients that I had in my fridge and seeing how this invention turned out or if some things had to be improved, but the truth is that it was perfect at first, so I want to share with you the recipe .

Humans learn to elevate comparison to a new level. Since it would be a long talk about human tendencies to compare themselves in social media and in life, I'd like to focus on faulty generalizations.

Hello dear hive community, this time I want to tell you what it was like to welcome the new school year 2022-2023 to my Beethoven Children's Orchestra. We gave a great welcome to this new school year to my children from the Pre-Infant Orchestra by giving them a promotion act giving them a certificate of their participation as the Mozart Pre-Infant Orchestra and a certificate where they are promoted to the Beethoven Children's Orchestra.

Most weekends these days, Brad and I make a "Plan A" and a "Plan B". I don't really care to plan too much but he feels so much happier when we have one. But I don't always "sleep like a log" which is Brad's normal experience.

So we made a "Plan A" of running with one of our run groups IF I sleep well and if I slept like rubbish I would tell Brad to go running without me (which, for sake of efficiency, would mean he would just run out the door 7.5km and then come back).

We decided to take a trip down to Homer to visit a friend on Saturday. The day started out pretty nice a mix of clouds and blue skies. We knew it would not last long, and by the time we got to Ninilchik it was mostly overcast skies. the sun did peek out for a little bit around Anchor point, but only for a little before it started to lightly rain.

This will be my first entomology blog, and entomology is the study of insects. But in my field of agriculture, we don't just look by the name insects. Also, we do look if this insect was a pest or beneficial; also, we need to evaluate the characteristics of the insect, morphology, and all the aspects in between. For my first subject, let's talk about the dragon in the insect world.

In my first check up a few months ago, the diagnosis was Compound Myopic Astigmatism. The grade of the lenses weren't that high but I was prescribed to use an eyeglasses with the appropriate lenses and with anti-radiation. I supposedly wanted lenses which transitioned into a darker color when exposed to sunlight. It hurts to get exposed to bright lights and I thought that it might be of more help to me since I got out oftentimes now. Sadly, they don't have anything in their stocks but if I really want it, I have to go back after 10 days.

Does anyone look at animals resting in the wild and call them lazy? Does anyone yell at their cat if they are sick to pick themselves up by their toebeans and go hunt mice? Does anyone not feed their dog if the dog doesn't want to go for a walk because it didn't "earn" its food that day? No, you probably laugh and take a video to share on social media about how funny your dog is who laid down like a passively resisting protester because they didn't want to walk that day. Everyone says how cute your dog is and laughs. No one tries to shame the dog.

One afternoon a neighbor told me that a hairdryer was for sale near the house, it is a garage sale where they sell second hand items. I asked for information about the dryer, since what interested me was that it had cold air, I did not have high expectations, since I knew it would be used and capable, it was not professional, however, it would serve me, besides it did not include the diffuser. The price was $8, I thought about it and finally decided to buy it. I paid for it with a transfer in bolivars.

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.
