OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 400th 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:

While editing and organizing images on my pc as usual, I came across this series of photographs that I took for some time with a friend named Marcos.

It was a session of semi-nudes in the open air, next to nature. Without a doubt, taking this type of photograph is a different experience.

The fascinating thing about this world of animals is the diversity of designs that structure each species and subspecies. I like to see in the small living beings an interesting design that is distinguished from the rest by the physical characteristics that correspond to the role in intervening in the balance of the system of nature; so I immediately got busy taking pictures of this spider called Silver or Tiger that I found in a square.

As it’s mid-week, our minds are very much set on the weekend already. We have our fingers crossed, hoping that we will have some beautiful weather as we’ve got a few things planned. Whilst looking forward to the weekend, it brings us to a little throwback to one of our little spontaneous outing to Sydney’s Centennial Park.

I am pleased to share with you the healing properties of three very useful plants that are currently used to cure certain ailments and diseases. These plants are: Liberator, Fregosa and Lime tree are plants with healing properties. I have always used them to cure diseases or ailments and more in recent times where every day there are more viruses and any ailment where merit its use.

This is my first post in the Asean Hive Community. Since joining Steemit (and later Hive) in 2017 most or almost all of my posts are about my art. I wrote about personal stuff maybe once or twice throughout the years but I usually shied away from writing about personal life. But I am making an exception for this post because this trip to Sarawak is special. See, like many people living far away from home (family, relatives), we didn't get to visit our loved ones due to the travel restrictions during the pandemic. I had not been seeing my mom, physically, for the past 2 and a half years. Sarawak is just roughly 2-3 hours (depending on your destination) flight away from KL but it took us this long to make this trip home. Travel restrictions to Sarawak were relaxed sometime in October 2021 but my husband and I then decided to hold our trip because we knew the exodus of fellow stranded Sarawakians who would be traveling home throughout the final months of 2021.

The second rock is a real rock. A solid rockery-rockety rock right in the middle of my MTB trail. Some trail builders like to remove them meteorites to create fluid trails. On the other side, there's me. I'm all up to integrate natural features into the trail. Soooo, I decided to create a simple jump over Patrick's house (Sponge Bob, anyone?). Let's check it!

In a few weeks I finish my online drawing course and I feel a little bit of nostalgia and pride mixed, but more excitement for receiving my certificate. So far, I'm focused on finishing the assignments I have left for the end of the month, so that keeps me a bit busy and I can't make much progress on other drawings I had planned to do....

Lately I have noticed that through social networks a lot of information about movies and television moves in the form of criticism based on "political correctness". Information is leaked about major productions that have not yet been released as official information, and fans begin to make images and propaganda against what is going to be made, and even mobilize in the form of collecting signatures so that a project is not carried out.

Yep! That's right! We had this beautiful moment during our celebration of Pio's (my nephew) 8th birthday. it was a very near simple beach resort. The day started so sunny that the kids had the chance to enjoy being sunkissed while enjoying the sea breeze.

It's been a while since we last uploaded anything about our build in the forest, but we've been very active on this project the whole time. Thing is, a lot of the time we spend it cutting branches and cleaning them up, which consumes a lot of time as we've done so only with hand tools. We've shared that process in previous posts, but don't see much value in sharing the same thing over and over again. Yet, we've gotten to a stage where there a few nice things to show, so here we go.

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.
