What is the Deadpost Intitiative?
The Deadpost Initiative is an attempt to give love to some posts that were overlookeed 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 weeks winners
We had fewer post this week but they were all of stellar quality! I love the direction we are going with this. I think the Deadpost Initiative is finally standing in solid ground. Hopefully it will only get better from here.
@pathforger $4 SBD prize
@pathforger delves into a topic which is now finally beginning to make its way to mainstream consciousness, but is still not common knowledge, the divisiveness of the so-called "war on drugs" and how it caused more problems than it actually solved. This post generated a lot of discussion as a Deadpost and I'm glad we could revive it.
How the War on Drugs is Fundamentally Flawed
@cabelindsay $4 SBD prize
@cabelindsay put together a great manual for making your own maracas. This may come in handy for me, as I play music and need some percussion to play along with me sometimes. The manual is well written with nice pictures, I hope someone uses it to make their own instruments.

All the posts were great this week. @krazykrista did a write up on Chernobyl and @xyzashu really informed me about the cultural relevance of emojis (I had no idea).
