What is the Deadpost Intitiative?

The Deadpost Initiative is an attempt to give love to some posts that were overlooked during their short 7 day life span, a chance to bring your old posts back to life and maybe make some friends in the process. The goal is not only to share some love with SBD but also by engagement to generate discussion.

Last week

I must severely apologize for this severely delayed edition of the Deadpost Initiative. My life has been up in the air the past few weeks and I've been dealing with job hunting, apartment hunting and also short term job hunting in order to relocate to the place I am job hunting in. I hope you can understand this delay. I've got my head together now so I'm back even though I'm still very busy. Please forgive the short descriptions as well, I do not want to put this off any longer. Our payout this week was nice too! $14 SBD

Last Week's Winners

Thanks @whatamidoing for this opportunity. My post is a religious post. You can check it out, don't know if it would be accepted.

Edited: Commented on @wales, @lenifty and @neo-wixa's posts.

This piece got me the moment you elaborate your idea that the microcosm generator is analogous to what we really are in the macrocosm.

Good stuff, reflected also in Dada Gavand's teachings and Wu Hsin's ''Lost writings''.

I guess I should start reading their work. Thanks :)

pleasure to read :) followed

You are welcome :)

nice one. clean ;) upvoted and left my 2 cents on the matter

I like the description "Clean" I usually prefer clean writing. :)

I've left a message on your post after I read it

So i read through this and I've got to admit it was really good. Simple, short, and enlightening.... I left you a comment on it

Thank you :)

My post - Healing properties of Lion Mane mushroom

Where can I found post from others? Later when they post links here?

They will post here, probably within 3 or 4 hours, definitely within a day

Ok, thanks for info!

I've read this post and found it amazing. Didn't upvote because it's older than 7 days but I'll give an upvote here

Thanks!

Rule: Posts must be at least one month old.

funny looking mushroom and yet how useful!

nice to know that fungi like these have beneficial uses

nice. I watched this JRE. loved it. big fan of shroomies. upvoted and commented

If such discovery became conclusive it would be an important scientific breakthrough. Thanks for your resourceful post. :)

Thank you very much for this opportunity to give value to publications that have not been valued and that, nevertheless, deserve recognition.

My publication refers to the production of "papelón", which is a substitute for sugar.

My comment and voted to three quality publications: @artofwisdom, @apatrinchera, @virtualself

Here's my "pretty dead" post that waits for your resurrection:

Great initiative!

I read this and left a little note as a reply to it and I have voted you a penny; well done...

God bless you, sir. Spare some change? :D

good stuff! :) followed

That was a good story, But you can't blame everything on steven. The "whatever the hell I want" was the curiosity in the steven. It will be there in everyone, Had there been a better explanation provide by the mother rather than ordering his son, not to do something isn't a good either. What Steven did backfire, that could happen to anyone.

Nice story though :-)

I read it all and thought it a great story so I left a comment on it; thanks...

nice read. followed. you are the "perceiver"of thoughts. you can choose how you react to them. you can choose to identify with them too ;)

Thanks for this chance to show one of my post that didn't go anywhere...

Nice story, yet being just imagination. Besides this ' warrior of light' being a new age crap, beliefs are not faith. beliefs are verified by logic and faith is beyond logic. And the only light in the universe is Awareness. Observing the thoughts without involvement allows one to find the gap in between them and by expansion of it, to at least have a glimpse of thoughtless state - state of true insights. From Conciousness, not from the mind.

I am so glad to see this initiative back on. Honestly speaking I haven't been much active on Steemit, but I am the one to blame.

here is my entry

The Evil within Me - Samurai Jack analogy

I read this one and found it very readable and was worth the visit

Thank you for your time and views @wales, I hope you find more strength to fight the demons inside.

sometimes I wanna go to the past to change it too

We all do. But Life goes on buddy and the best thing you can do is Keep moving forward.
Thanks for your time :-)

I saw documentary about Nazi's secret underground bunkers in Poland. Or it might be about Hitler escaping to Argentina. Anyway a lot of Nazi's stuff is still in Poland.

that's quite a historically significant remembrance

This bunker is like a terrible reminder of what happened years even before I was born... thanks for sharing this

amazing @whatamidoing! this is an amazing initiative of reviving our undervalued posts and give it a chance to be noticed. I believed that each and everyone of us have been doing our best in order to wright the most quality content that we can do. And most of times, our effort of writing is not enough. But with your initiative, we all are relieved.

Here sharing mine that was written 2 months ago. I wrote this when I and a friend had a conversation about dying. How Does it Feel To Die.

And buy the way, Good luck for the job and apartment hunting. Wish all the best of luck! I hope you have found them already.

Dead is the only thing that we have really sure
