OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 295th 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:

So far I have chives, parsley, celery, oregano, basil and others that you have already seen.

With great care I have maintained them: I have bought fertilizer, put natural fertilizer and I have even given them a name.

In this case, today I want to talk about pruning Las Amazonas (chives) and La Mexicana (celery).

Today, I am on my 6th digital portrait painting of a random woman. That is why I call it "Woman 006". I am constantly doing this for study and practice. I am trying also new techniques and brushes on procreate so that I will be able to make my own procreate workflow in creating digital portraits. For now, I am still focusing on making portraits but I am also interested to creating my own characters, drawing animals and many others.

It is a cocoa shell infusion. It all started when I was given a bag of cocoa shells and I was told to prepare tea that was very tasty.

I prepared the infusion to check if it was true and I was surprised by its pleasant chocolate flavor, I have prepared it in water and in almond milk and it is very tasty both ways.

In the 80's, 2 beautiful creatures are born. A boy and a girl with very distinguished features, he as beautiful as a sunset and she as beautiful and radiant as the sunrise.It is that the family of both babies are distinguished among the society.

My name is Melany I am beautiful, provocative, sweet, but with a huge appetite for blood, I like cats, they are a favorite delicacy, there will come a day when your cat disappears you will never know what happened to him.

I took these photos the night after spending my whole afternoon one weekend at a coffee shop to catch up with some check work and progress on some personal goals. These were taken after a rain session stopped so the streets were still wet and glistening. I captured these in hopes of sharing the authenticity of my hometown on Hive.

It's great that we can finally go outside and exercise. I have been trying my best to find time to get active. I remember that I was in my best shape when I trained for a marathon back in 2018, so I decided to get back to training again.

Years ago, Cebu City Sports Complex or "Abellana" was the go-to place. At around 5 in the afternoon, people would start flocking the track and it made the training bearable.

Dashcams have become essential. It is the only proof we have if anything unexpected happens and we need proof of what happens and also to act as witness to other accidents on the road.

This dash cam cost USD 30 or MYR 125. There are cheaper dashcams below that price but I've seen reviews that their video quality is not up to the standard. Imagine not being able to look at the number plates, car model.

Even back when I was drawing tsimilarly intricate mandalas on pieces of paper, I never really thought of them as a meditative tool, either... although they were certainly for "passing time" when I was between doing other things, or I was on a long hold on the phone and things like that.

When I was in high school... it was basically a way to "zone out!"

In the earliest days — that would be shortly after I had made the decision that this "COULD become an art form" — the meditation aspect was actually related to my being very fond of doing "walking meditations" on the local beaches, as a way to power down and balance myself when I otherwise had a lot on my plate.

I send you a warm greeting and I hope you are having a good weekend. I am thrilled with the good receptivity I have had in the community in general and how every day my work is better valued, I see in each publication little by little more comments, that means that every day I am improving in my publications. I am grateful for the support of the large groups of curators and individual curators.

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.
