OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 2048th 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.

How this Works

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:

Refrescando el día con un delicioso jugo saludable, natural./Refreshing the day with a delicious healthy, natural juice.

I started the procedure by washing the fruits well, peeling them and cutting them into small pieces.While performing this procedure, I was tempted to taste mango pieces, and it is amazing friends, the pineapple fruit-like taste of this kind of mango.

WAR ON WEEDS: Dealing with Unwanted Plants the Natural Way

This is my entry for Week 10 of the Hive Garden Question on how to deal with persistent weeds without resorting to poisonous chemicals - Reflections on Weeds and Poison. The war on weeds has always been a struggle for every farmer and gardener, especially when dealing with persistent and ever-invading unwanted plants. They grow even faster than your crops, so it’s really hard to eliminate them. The above picture shows our lady’s fingers being choked by the tall weeds swarming around them. It’s a wide plantation, so I am bracing myself for the hard labor awaiting us.

Transforming my garden. A day of transplants and growth. En/Esp

I did this task, for several reasons, one of them, because there was a plant in a rooted pot, another, because the plant had grown a lot and needed more space, another, because it was a sunflower plant, which I had sown in a plastic cup and already needed its own pot, and the last, a little plant, which they gave me if roots, which was the son of a bush of false boldo or acetaminophen, which is the medicinal plant: Plectranthus ornatus.

Piensa en mí - Hive Open Mic Week 269 (cover by @maiasun84) [ENG-ESP]

Also, and in relation to that "last time", it touches on the idea of an essential love that life means the loss of meaning without the presence of the loved one, a typical approach in Lara's compositional work. Piensa en mí has transcended generationally and its message translates a farewell, an ultimatum, an invocation to remain in the memory of the loved one and it is presumed to have an autobiographical facet because it is dedicated to María Félix, Lara's partner and eternal love.

Food Quest: Savoring Each Simple Moment with Good Food and Good Mood

My partner loves shrimp very much while I love salmon belly so going there was an easy option for us. It was also a perfect time to go there because we ran out of food in the fridge to cook. The day was a busy one for us so we thought it was just right to go there to eat the food that we were craving on that day.

Reconectar con los instintos para conocernos mejor [ESP – ENG]

In addition, they lead us to do things that we had never considered. When my parents became ill as a result of the pandemic and fell into bed, I had to take over the reins of my home, since they could not fend for themselves, and although I had never taken that role, my instinct knew what to do. I had to take care of my house and try not to fall into bed myself, something complicated because I had to go out every day to buy something for the house, especially food, and I would go with a bottle of alcohol, disinfecting everything.

The uncertainty of taking a loan

Everything was going on well when she started. She was consistent and faithful in paying off her debts until the business started getting cold, she started missing payment deadlines often blaming the downturn in business performance. Eventually, the loan company demanded that she clear the outstanding debt and exit the agreement, citing frustration over repeated excuses and delays.

Homemade Sourdough Banana Bread :p

I hope you're having a nice week. Do you like banana bread? How sweet do you like it? I like it only a little sweet so they can go with my morning eggs, with chunks of walnuts and bitter chocolate to make my spirits happier and feel more energetic. There's happiness in the little details, don't you think?, like delicious homemade breakfast & coffee.

PICOTAZOS BY DUO ANHLEO - FLUTE & CLARINET

Good morning to this musical community☀️❤️ 19th-century Cuban Dance is a purely ballroom musical genre closely linked to the Contradanza from which it derives. It maintained a similar musical structure. It was often performed at family gatherings, parties, and social events, characterized by its lively rhythm and beautiful, catchy melodies. Can you imagine enjoying yourself at a 19th-century dance with the upper class? 😅

Monday Street

Greetings everyone, and once again I'm here to share this series of photos with street motifs, but with a multitude of perspectives, but also with the adjustment of certain tones in some of the photos. In some cases, there's a bit of desaturation in the image, while in others, there's a bit of high contrast, or even a bit of those more turquoise and red tones. It's a bit of a play on composition, both in tones and light, but also with the idea of capturing what I'm seeing on the street.

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.
