OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 370th 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:

Laughing is considered a sure-fire therapy when presented with stressful situations. Many say who is going to be laughing in a stressful moment, but that is precisely the point, laughter was never seen as a therapy for a gloomy moment to change its vibration...maybe the situation of the moment is not solved but you feel a release of charge for what happened.

Greetings dear readers, today I dedicate myself to write a homemade recipe for cough, an ailment that with this time of strange cold in our beloved Venezuela, has been affecting those infected with covid, omicron or any other disease related to the respiratory tract.

I hope you are all doing great! The last week I was busy working on a new fashion project for my college. The concept of the project was to visit a museum of our city and get inspired by any exhibit in order to sketch two outfits. For the final outfits we should use and combine four different materials. Leather, lace, suede and denim.

Today is Friday and it's a market day for all the residents of Alcantara. The municipality of Alcantara is located in the 5th class of the municipality of Cebu, the Philippines with 9 barangay including my birthplace Candabong where most of my family and relative lives. Every Friday they have this tabo a local word for taboan which means marketplace where people gather to sell such as goods and other merchandise.

This food is called cassava cheese because after being fried, the taste of cassava is like being given cheese and it is soft. The secret of soft cassava like being given cheese lies in the seasoning. The spices used to make cassava cheese are:

With my mind still in other worlds from the 'Living Room Songs' session, the (self-)promotion of the post to the Spread-the-Vibes challenge-not-challenge, mother earth started to pull me back with the thought: "What shall be my response?" I have no idea where it came from, but within a minute I was thinking about one of the first albums I listened to by the Greek Vangelis: "Antarctica". This was back in either 1987 or 1988. In the process of discovering off-mainstream music, this album got me hooked.

In a simple way, symbiosis can be defined as a relationship between organisms in which at least one of the species involved will benefit.✔️ "Some types of biological interactions can be favorable, others can be unfavorable, and there are even interactions that are neutral for the organisms involved. Thus, very different interactions occur, from that of one species feeding on another (predation) to that of species that are mutually beneficial" we mentioned this in the article cited above👆

Another case happened to me one cold night....yo, as an adult, I was collaborating in a course. It was already late and I decided to go to sleep at the hotel where we were staying. Nobody wanted to accompany me, so I went alone. I was walking, it was about 11 o'clock at night. It was cold, about 5°C. I was wearing warm clothes..... Suddenly I see a man, dressed as if he was in tropical weather, with shorts and short sleeve shirt. I thought it was strange but ...... when I saw him crossing the wall of an abandoned house, phew! I started to run .... and without looking back I arrived at the hotel. You can imagine the scare......

It is curious how messages come into our lives, don't you think? or does the message have to do exclusively with the crystal through which you look at it? I mean, this call I receive to stop procrastinating (what a hard word to say) is it real that the universe is sending it to me, or is it me who wants to do it and I try to convince myself of these cosmic interventions? (laughs). These days I was at a friend's birthday party and I received so much information that I don't know how to process it yet. I don't mean information about something specific, it wasn't that nobody came to tell me: "hey Gaby, this and this and this and that" no, yesterday they planted ideas in me, that I feel have been the answers to some things I have been asking myself lately, and the universe spoke. Does it sound as transcendental as I feel? because it was really important for me. The night took place at a table, a discussion of anything and everything and there was the topic of my recent arrival to the country and what my plans were, and well, I answered "I don't feel so capable" oh! that set off the alarm bells of my drinking companions, and why not? mine too.

I have a five year old nephew who has autism and to my surprise, he got a hand of my old lettering notebook. I decided to scan through the notebook and check these letterings. I was surprised when I found out he was doodling all over the notebook including on pages where I had written some of my journals but he spared those which have letterings. I wonder what was on his mind?

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.
