OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 2214th 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:

Taking photos at the skatepark has become a lot of fun for me; the reason is simple: it’s always a challenge, you’re constantly on the move, trying to capture different compositions. That’s why I’m sharing these photos with you today; I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Apex is an American survival thriller directed by Baltasar Kormákur based on Jeremy Robbins’ screenplay. It stars Charlize Theron, Taron Egerton, Eric Bana, Matt Whelan and other supporting actors. The opening scene shows us Sasha (Charlize Theron) and her husband, Tommy (Eric Bana) waking up in a tent fixed to the side of a rocky mountain. It's clear they are an outdoorsy couple who love to climb and also take risks.

It's a pleasure to greet you, since you've visited my blog and are here, it's because you're interested in learning more about this content. To tell you the truth, it's a very pretty swimsuit that I made. I had already made two swimsuits, and it was time to make one in a different color and design. This burgundy color I used for the swimsuit fascinated me ☺️🥺 I fell in love with it, and although at first I couldn't see the shape of the swimsuit when I was sewing it, I said, "No, this isn't going to stop me from practicing making swimsuits since I have some clients who would be interested in ordering these types of garments to go to the beach." So, I had the opportunity to make this lovely swimsuit with some fabric I had saved, if you only knew! I hope you like it 🥰👙.

This Thursday’s #TBT is different, but it shows that even as the years go by, we’re still together like big siblings. Often, photos are perfect for the moment—to post them, to look at them—but a photo tucked away holds a whole story that will always remain there. In that photo, I’m pictured with my brother, hugging him with that innocence that knows no passage of time, as if in that simple gesture we were already promising to be there for each other unconditionally—and besides, we were just happy kids. I don’t remember how old I was, but there were no worries, just laughter, games played on the floor, and a whole world to discover together. A hug, even a simple one, said it all: we were a team from the very beginning.

​Nevertheless, we all carry within our DNA that part of light and darkness, yin and yang, sweet and sour, good and evil, or whatever you wish to call it. What we must unravel, like skilled seamstresses or tailors, is the following:

If there’s one thing I’ve learned in music, it’s to be versatile—to try to learn a little bit of everything so I can manage when things don’t go as planned. This time, I had to use my husband’s electric guitar because a string on my acoustic guitar broke, and I don’t think I can replace it just yet. Although it seemed very easy at first, the reality is that it was a bit awkward getting used to its sound and its neck, which is smaller than my guitar’s. I think this is the third time I’ve played my husband’s guitar, and I’ll admit that I really liked it this time because I felt more relaxed and comfortable.

Greetings, my dear and cherished friends! Today, after a couple of months away from this platform, I’m stopping by to share with all of you a little bit about my life and how it’s changed over the past few months. First and foremost, I want to thank God for every day and every minute He gives me. It’s incredible how our lives can change in the blink of an eye. I remember just a few months ago, in September and October, I was so happy and excited because the arrival of my third daughter was approaching. I was the happiest person in the world, knowing our family would be complete and happy—until everything changed, and now I live with the fear of not seeing my children grow up.

I visited my friend Lulu; she complains because I don’t come as often. Lulu is almost always busy with her clothing store and her crocheting (knitting with hooks), and I with my various occupations. Today we had lunch together. Truth be told, Lulu has a unique gift for cooking. She makes even a simple meal special.

For the colors, I went with a classic choice: 100% acrylic yarn in white and pink. There’s something very sweet and soft about this combination, which makes each little basket look beautiful and cozy. I like to think that these shades convey that sense of care and love that moms embody so well. As a finishing touch, I added a pink fabric ribbon that gives them a special, tender touch.

We purchased a Museum card , that gives you acces to almost every museum in my country for a whole year , so we will be visiting more musea soon .

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.
