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
What a week, it was a tough call this week with even more variety than usual. Photography, self introductions, philosophy, religion, history and cooking. I love it when there is a good mix of different topics and styles and nice engagement.
Last Week's Winners
@eoj - $4 Steem prize
Stellar introduction post from @eoj, someone who is now on my list of steemians I want to know better. It's a long list but Joe just got bumped up towards the top with this! And now I know where his steemit name comes from.

@alignment - $3 Steem prize
@alignment makes a connection that I hadn't made before, that shared in the title. It was a bit difficult for me to process but it definitely was something worth thinking about.
Success & comfort zone.

@phoenixwren - $3 Steem prize
This was a really fun post to read. I've always been interested in traditions which influence our culture but are not recognized for that influence. Paganism is one of those things, and I am particularly interested in the influence it had on Christianity and modern western culture. This was very enlightening! Thanks @phoenixwren

@paradigm42 - $2 Steem prize
Beautiful photography of little critters. We often take these guys for granted but they are actually beautiful once you get over your own ideas of beauty. thanks @paradigm42
American Dagger Moth Catapillar - Macrophotography
@themadgoat - $2 Steem prize
WTF did I just read! Hahahaha @themadgoat delivers again. Have you seen that video on youtube "History of Japan", where a guy lays out a history of Japan with random facts dropped in and a keyboard following the sounds of his voice in a menacing hypnotic way? I think @themadgoat needs to collaborate with that guy.
