Things Ms. Dee Likes, Edition 5, February 3, 2023

The Roundup

In this edition we have a special highlight -- a Hive video front-end so new, Peakd doesn't even recognize it yet for its automatic post pull-up: Cast Garden! @gadrian mentioned it in his post below, and that correlated with my own investigation ... so, I found some music that I truly enjoyed, and the video quality is amazing!

There is a LOT to Cast Garden and the team around it (shoutout to @kencode and @agorise), more than I can put into Edition 5, but, future updates as they become available, in Editions 6 and 7! For now, just know that Cast Garden's specialty is allowing Hivers to push their videos out as podcasts for syndication, and the number of bloggers that will be looking to syndicate Hive work is about to grow dramatically if I understand what I have read so far. Also understand: if you like Hive's censorship-resistant features, go on and double that up for Cast Garden and its ecosystem in the Fediverse. "Unstoppable income," @kencode shared with me -- free speech is where it's at!

And speaking of unstoppable for those of you in the NFT space -- Aureal and Unstoppable Domains are forming a partnership -- audio NFT meets blockchain-based web domains with interoperability on Hive and a number of other chains -- the article is the fourth in News and Views You Can Use!

Most posts in this edition are in the payout period still, so if you like what I like, show the content creators some love! If you are using PeakD as your front end, you can also TIP anyone in the "Oldies But Goodies" section, too. Be sure to look under News and Views and show the New Hivers some love as well!

News and Views You Can Use

In addition to Hive rising and stabilizing above 35 cents, @gadrian shares how Hive has had a number of developments ... Threespeak and the core of Hive have taken big steps forward as has the state of the market, and there is a new video front-end available on Hive, as you saw in the Roundup...

[//]: # 2 https://peakd.com/hive-167922/@khaleelkazi/the-hive-blockchain-is-the-only-place-to-build-web3-social-apps
This is close to payout at the time of publication, but @khaleelkazi gives us one of the finest breakdowns of an inevitable path to Hive gaining and sustaining value in the long run ... but it IS necessary to get prepared now for the possibility.

Speaking of getting prepared for Hivers in the U.S. -- be aware of some important tax changes that are coming along for this year's return!

Aureal and Unstoppable Domains together -- both in their own right are powerhouses, but they have chosen Hive as the place to let it be known what they are going to be doing together -- go check it out!

Art

[//]: #1 https://peakd.com/hive-158694/@balabambuz/new-wave
This collage by @balabambuz reminds us of something important ... every generation, a new series of HUMANS discovers our planet ... it is important that we as mature adults treat them as our beloved and necessary successors, not invading aliens!

[//]: # 2 https://peakd.com/hive-174301/@silviabeneforti/thinking-about-a-deer-oil-on-paper
This work by @silviabeneforti was just the height of delicate, tasteful beauty...

[//]: # 3 https://peakd.com/hive-158694/@shinoxl/concept-background-for-manga-visual-novel
This is a style of art that I love from @shinoxl ... but why it should be in Alien Art Hive confused me until I looked at this beautiful picture very closely ... the unique magic that separates manga from its American counterpart the comic book is here ... as subtle as the haiku and the cherry blossom, something is floating in the air along with the autumn leaves!

[//]: # 4 https://peakd.com/hive-174695/@justclickindiva/seeking-forgiveness-or-lmac-freestyle-no-17
A beautiful piece of art inspired by humanity's hardest and most necessary journey ... of seeking forgiveness and being forgiven and redeemed...

Photography

[//]: #1 https://peakd.com/hive-142159/@acesontop/melted-cuz-its-mono-monday-again
Bleak mid-winter, up close and personal from @acesontop ... what tripped me out about this black and white spread was realizing: ice is mostly white and asphalt is gray to black, and winter skies on cloudy days are gray, so, up close and personal, THIS IS how mid-winter is in many places, mostly grayscale ... and why we love spring when it comes...

[//]: #2 https://peakd.com/hive-194913/@silviamaria/the-nature-around
In a land in which winter never comes, @silviamaria shows us the beauty all around her ... the shot of the jaboticaba tree stands out because of its unique habit of even fruiting from the tree's bark ... one wonder of many...

Summer has come again and the surf is up in @rossfletcher's post ... three different views of amazing waves and amazing riders... and, a coming full circle in our color palette for photography this week!
