This is a weekly feature of some of the work @themesopotamians project has supported on Steem through the @particleman account. The Mesopotamians provides ongoing support to certain selected users in hopes of building a cooperative and growing middle class on Steem.

@eoj brings us back to the street art theme from a few weeks ago with a selection of photos form his trip to Nepal. I don't care what Joe says, I enjoy the dude who's basically a kettle bell with a tiny face.

@fromage tells us why he doesn't like playing early-access games. My only counterargument to this is the existence of Minecraft, which they pretty much sucked all of the fun out of before it got to release.

@asapers celebrated their 100th issue, and hopefully are Steming towards their next milestone.

@marissalingen's semimonthly book post got some attention from Curie and Steempress, and she's getting some comment interaction. I've been editing these for long enough now that I kind of take them for granted, and it's nice to see someone I'm trying to recruit into a larger presence here get some positive attention for what she does.

Speaking of that, @markgritter continues to post on advanced programming topics. I was there for the Chinese Poker problem, helped to set up the hypotheses, so I almost understand what he's talking about in this post.

@see-it-feel-it's MySTEEM Angels project is open for voting, and the nominees list should be a very good way to find some new interesting people posting to Steem. Several of our members are nominated as well!

@tryskele wrote about depression, suicidal ideation, and the deeply terrible way that other people tend to react to them. I always want to have the perfect thing to say, and sometimes I need a post like this to remind me that it's important just to say something way better than those people. And that I can generally manage. Stuff worth listening to here.

On a lighter note, @the.foodini is continuing his food challenge by showing us what he could eat for 5 Steem in Thailand. If I could get a leg of octopus for fifty cents I'd probably never eat anything else. And then I'd die of mercury poisoning. Maybe this wasn't such a lighter note after all.
