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
First of all sorry for the delay.
As announced in my post a few days ago, there are a few changes to the Initiative coming this week. There will be no more $10 prize minimum but 100% of SBD rewards and donations will go to participants. Hopefully this won't make much of a difference for the initiative but it means we can keep going with this initiative.
On to the winners of week 20
Last Week's Winners
@williams-owb - $ 2 Steem prize
@williams-owb shares with us an English grammer lesson that perhaps even native speakers could do well to remember. He explores the multiple meanings of different words, something we all may take for granted.

@becomingwhtur - $ 2 Steem prize
@becomingwhtur explores the detrimental nature of seeing yourself as the victim. I particularly loved the following: *Raging against "the man" or "the government" or "those misogynists" will never free you from your own personal prison. You have to be the one to emancipate yourself from this mental slavery - no one else can do it for you. No legislation or social "justice" can ever be a balm for your circumstances. *
How the victim mentality destroys and what you can start doing about it!
