OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 1193rd 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:

We are still good friends even though the time without seeing each other was considerable; we met again in some protest marches for the improvement of the salary. Well, in one of those activities I told her about Hive and she was pleased to know more; then we agreed to arrange a day to meet and talk more in depth about the subject.

Having your own garden is very exciting. There are many things that you can see when you first wake up in the morning to see all my plants growing healthy, lush and fruitful, it is something that is very proud of me and my husband, who have never farmed before. It's like there is a new passion in our lives when we look at the mini garden. And right now we are harvesting our eggplants, one eggplant can weigh 250 grams or more. We harvest only the eggplants, there are several large eggplants and my neighbors have also divided them all so that they also feel my joy even though it's just eggplants.

"Sunday Funday" is, traditionally, the last day of full weekend trance festivals in my hometown. Always listed on flyers as such. With a reduced entry fee for those who only want to come for the final full day blast of the weekend.

I am six Hive years old. Hivebuzz said so three days ago. As a poet, here is where I have gotten past toddling and found my rhythm of words. I owe this community the nurturing it has offered. It is also the same time I celebrate when I finally found the courage to leave an abusive marriage. I do it to celebrate the resilience engraved here unintentionally.

My mother lives on a farm outside the city. And there, of course, the environment is different from the city where I live. Delicious fruit crops like mangas (big mangos), delicious avocados, cambures or bananas, plantains, papaya, and everything that can be cultivated, they plant and harvest there, both for their consumption, as well as for trade and to earn money to support their needs.

Last June 12, 2023, it was a mandate from higher-ups to conduct a flag-raising activity either in school, the LGU, barangay workers, and other offices to commemorate our Philippine Independence. With this activity, the youth of today will still be able to understand the importance of independence to all Filipinos all over the world.

I am Japanese and my family of four lives in a rented apartment in Tokyo. It has been 9 years since we moved here. I like the location, the layout of the room, the rent, etc., but there are some ill-mannered people living in the same apartment as us, and this is the source of my frustration.

Last year, I believe it was around this time of year, an old sofa was left in the garbage dump for weeks, which made me uncomfortable (the rule is that large items of garbage, such as furniture, should be reserved for pickup in advance and placed in a designated area on the day of pickup). Also, the thumping vibration from the floor below us continued every day, and my second son once said, "I want to move out...". The vibration has lessened recently, so I don't need to talk about that issue anymore, though.

Sometimes art calls to me. In times when I overthink things, when there are more questions than answers and I need a time out, there are two "go-to's" that I choose between ~ sketching and walking/hiking.

The weather has been miserable the last few days, it's been overcast and rainy. The wind has been exceptionally cold and I've been hermitting through a lot of it. I've been struggling with a bout of flu to top it off.

The banana tree is a tree that can adapt easily to its environment because this tree will be safe anywhere and grow well as long as it is safe from plant hopper diseases.

My tutorial today is a children's design that I made on a piece of cardboard in which I made a drawing of Mario Bross and painted by hand, then I decorated with foami to give it relief, I also assembled a cardboard box to paste in front so that it serves you in addition to decorate, to store whatever you want, of course, that will be small and not very heavy things. It is always good to give utility to the things we make! So I invite you to join me to make it and serve as a guide for you to design one to your liking.

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.
