What is Hook 'Em Up?
Our @BuddyUP community is growing and so is the quality content inside the POST POOL channels. Often, that content can be easily missed in the vast ocean of Steemit.
It’s our mission at BuddyUP to grow together, support each other and highlight the fantastic content that is created by our members. As part of that mission, we showcase talented content creators within the BuddyUP community, who also display a positive attitude and a community mindset, through our weekly curation post, Hook ‘Em Up!
THIS WEEK’S CATCH
@tessaragabrielle
Best wishes need to be extended to one of our newer members @tessaragabrielle. She is packing up and making the journey to Illinois to continue her education. She is working towards her PhD and shares her nervousness and excitement with us in her latest post. Aside from just one semester in Ghana, she hasn't been outside of the West Coast.
This is the culmination of several years of work and dreams.
I’m flying on Memorial Day, and by this time next week, I’ll be starting the program! This is so exciting and intense, and I’m just silly over it.
Look's like @tessaragabrielle is all packed up and ready to go. We don't know when we will hear from her again but we are very proud of her and can't wait to see an update. Best wishes and good luck from the BuddyUP family!
Take a moment to stop by her post and help us wish her luck and safe travels on the next leg of her journey.
@happysmileyman
Back after a bit of a hiatus, @happysmileyman graced us with a few beautiful photographs. It's great to see him back again after a week away, as his name suggests, he's always bringing smiles and happiness to our screens! If you haven't already, make sure you stop by to this post where he shares a particularly funny story about one of his experiences at Glastonbury!
Anyway... back to his most recent post, Steemit seemed to have a mind of its own with this one deciding to rotate his pictures for him!
Hi everyone I am in a conundrum right now, as when I try to upload photos here onto my page they are magically turning themselves around so they end up on their sides!
Intending to just a say just quick hello @happysmileyman quickly turned to 'thinking out loud' when he saw the magical happenings taking place on his screen. It was not all lost, one of his pictures did not succumb to the magic spell Steemit seemed to be casting on his post.
Make your appearance here to check out some cool photos and say hello to @happysmileyman before the bank holiday weekend commences.
@eonwarped
Have you ever heard of rainbow mud? Our member @eonwarped traveled to Iceland and he is now sharing some photos with us of a breathtaking place called Hverir, where the geothermal activity makes for some very interesting sights and smells. He takes us on an adventure that doesn't disappoint.
But what's interesting is that there's hidden color in the mud. It's not clear from here but the snow is covering up a rainbow of colors. Unappetizing, slimy colors though.
In addition to the rainbow mud, the steam that spews from the vents that scatter the Earth's surface there is explained by @eonwarped as being a rotten egg sulphur smell. While that doesn't sound pleasant, he made the most of it by having a pore opening 'free spa treatment' in the smelly smoke.
Join @eonwarped's adventure here to check out some interesting photos and show his page some love.

Can I get a hell yeah for our new writer @monchhichi23?! She picked this up fast and ran with it in just a few days notice, so I can't wait to see what next weeks will be like! Just to further highlight, we don't just highlight posts that are within the payout window. We are featuring any posts from our members and rewarding them with 1 SBD and 5 BUDDYUP tokens (subject to increase over time).
This way we can give you all a bit more recognition for the brilliant work you've done and it also gives @monchhichi23 a bit of freedom to look out for more posts!
Make sure you are dropping posts into #the-hook if you're a Gourami, that is a massive help and it also gives you a way to encourage others. Think of yourself as a food critic who's about to give a chef the review of his lifetime! Keep up the brilliant work guys, we can see great strides forward from you all, it's a true joy to watch!
