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

There were so many great posts this week, it was hard to decide which should win. The winners ended up being a sentimental bunch. You'll have to check them out.

For now it seems we are going to keep the Deadpost Initiative as is. Still feel free to come join our chat and discuss where #steemitzombies should go to help undervalued material reach viewers and gain upvotes.

Last Week's Winners

@svkrulze - $ 2 Steem prize

I'm not one for romantic posts but this one is epic. Their story could easily become a movie if anyone wants to shoot it ;-) It's also great to get to know this new friend better. The train part is awesome!!

I vote for turning the other cheek...love this - reacting out of your internal values as opposed to the pain of those around you...good write up

Thanks! :D

thanks for being awesome

hope all is will. my My brother's son was born in the car on the way to the hospital. One gets scared of such events. he is fine to.

She's making great progress and growing every day! Hopefully within the month she can finally come home!
Yes it can definitely be very scary!

Awww. I hope everything is better now after a month?

She's doing well. She's now 3lbs 14.4oz and getting stronger every day. She still needs some breathing assistance but not much.

It will still be several weeks before she can come home, but she's making great progress!

But I think being close most of the time to the mom would make the baby all better. I've read something like that somewhere... Anyway I hope everything turns out fine in the long run.

She only gets a few hours a day to be skin to skin with Mom still, but yes it's said it does wonders for them.
She was not suppose to be here until May 5th!
Thank you!

This has my vote! I'm a huge advocate for kratom! Kratom has done wonders for my life.

Everything you said about how you felt alive and didn't really want to drink any more was exactly what happened to my bf. He really almost never wants a drink and so when he does it is no problem. I honestly don't know what we would have done without it- his attitude when on alcohol was terrible and ruining our relationship <3

Mine is not in the creative writing category, but highly informative and nuanced on a subject I feel is extremely important given the state of our prescription meds epidemic <3

I wonder if the pain releiving power of kratom is the placebo effect. Ive tried it myself to no effect, but everbody's different. Nice post, very informative.

definitely not a placebo. I don't have pain, but kratom has a very specific feel, like alcohol or caffeine or kava. You know immediately if you've had alcohol or caffeine, there is no mistaking one for the other. Maybe you got a weaker strain, didn't take enough or have a high tolerance to opiates, which act on similar receptors. Whether is specifically helps peoples pain is a personal thing, as everyone's pain is different and their chemical makeup is different. It definitely does something, that is for sure.

Oh cool. I've never heard of this before so it's nice to know something like this can be ingested.

If it's in the family of coffee though I wonder if I will drink it. I don't drink coffee but I like chocolate. Hehe.

Good article I can recognize the feeling

Way to engage with your pain...you can be throttled by it or allow it to make you stronger

indid. its there but its just a part of me now.

This is a very good idea and good to start with, esp because Steemit does not turn out to be about good/quality content at all. Good content seems to be wasted up here, luck to all of you.

So very true!

This is a good idea. I think it might draw more people to the tag.

I have some posts that are getting old enough so I will definitely be more active here.

I won??? That's incredible.... there were some great posts :) you are very kind @whatamidoing :)

Thank you everybody. Sorry it was a sad post 😯
