Meet @bindu in Upvotable #37!
Bindu Khanal as @bindu is sharing with us from the beautiful country of Kathmandu, Nepal! Since signing up for Steem in June 2017, she has authored 117 posts starting with her introduceyourself post where the photo included above is from!
What I love about @bindu is her honest sharing of life where she is and as she sees it because this demonstrates what I believe is the full power of our community here on Steem to enable transparent sharing of our lives globally. @bindu goes into the challenging issues, demonstrates her artwork, and shares what she sees around her!
Here are a few of my favorite posts which I discovered thanks to the recommendation of @kelvanis in upvotable 36 and the upvote from @reggaemuffin and @qura!
- Taking a hard look at the near impossibility of dressing just right as a woman from showing too much skin to too little and the associated judgments may help us see we are all victims of the same separation. The separate view of men and women often has the story that men are such animals that a woman putting too much skin in front of a man might cause a man to rape. With this view comes the assumption that women have a responsibility to consider how much to show at https://steemit.com/life/@bindu/you-raped-her-because-her-clothes-provoked-you-i-should-break-your-face-cause-your-stupidity-provokes-me. If we are all free to show our bodies and trust each other to respect our boundaries, then we all are truly free!
- While many of us might prefer to close our eyes to the world around us, I believe the power of Steem is to enable each of us to share our truth and to consider what this means in our view of the world. This post was difficult to see from my view living in St Petersburg, Florida where I have never seen anything like this in my life. Only read this post if you are okay with seeing an animal head cut off and flying in mid air at https://steemit.com/philosophy/@bindu/stop-animal-slaughter-and-animal-rights-violation-make-it-a-cruelty-free-during-festival
- I love seeing artwork because each of us has an inner creative genius that demands to come out at https://steemit.com/art/@bindu/my-secret-passion-drawing-and-painting
- This child Goddess custom is wild at https://steemit.com/story/@bindu/the-very-strange-life-of-nepal-s-child-kumari-the-living-goddess
- Seeing this holiday trip was lovely https://steemit.com/travel/@bindu/my-holiday-trip-to-the-beautiful-city-pokhara
- I hope we can help use Steem to look more at how we are treating each other to motivate more love and compassion globally especially after seeing https://steemit.com/life/@bindu/one-of-the-disgusting-custom-in-nepal-where-young-girls-are-offered-to-temples
- A lovely sunset at https://steemit.com/photography/@bindu/stunning-sunset-view-in-kathmandu
- @bindu's dog died recently which she shares at https://steemit.com/animals/@bindu/my-dog-died-yesterday-and-i-miss-him-terribly
- Fun to see how similar what we eat is as far away from me as Nepal at https://steemit.com/food/@bindu/i-am-a-foodie-so-what
- Her most upvoted post came from inclusion in @curie at https://steemit.com/animals/@bindu/dogs-remedy-for-depression
- Celebrating Teej at https://steemit.com/culture/@bindu/teej-festival-women-s-archives-my-experience-celebrating-teej-festival-with-faith-and-fun

I would like to nominate @positivesteem for all the good and positivity he is sharing.
In this post below he says this:
"I am a veteran minnow, having joined Steemit slightly more than 1 year ago. As at 26 September, the earnings for my last 7 posts have been between a low of $0.97 to a high of $9.14 with an average earning of $3.23 per post."
I really believe he deserves a boost and a break for a year of on going determined positive posts.

I agree! :)
Outstanding recommendation Michelle! I am planning to read several posts by @positivesteem and then include him in an upcoming upvotable post!
Wonderful news Jerry! I'm so so pleased for him! Thanks I'm sure you've just made him very happy and more valued! :)
@positivesteem isa really great communty member that I've just reconnected with. He's got lots of encouraging stories to share.
Wonderful to hear @whatamidoing, so pleased he's had such support.
I would like to recommend @vangelov
Not only is he my incredibly erudite partner in Binary Stars, he is also the founder of the Steemit Writer Guild and an active contributor to @ecotrain.
He is currently accepting any level of donation as a Preorder for his new book, which he has plenty of samples of on his blog, so head on over and show him some love!
Thank you very much for the recommendation here Alex! I will take a look at his posts in more depth and plan to feature @vangelov in a future upvotable post!
I appreciate your personal response!
I didn't even know he was being nominated, but I have to show some support！ We are working together on a book project to promote independent writers on and off steemit and at the same time promote steemit on other platforms such as facebook and amazon. This was @vangelov 's idea and I'm thrilled to be working on it and that it has allowed us to get closer since he was one of my favorite writers from before we became friends. :-D
Yes, a genuinely spiritual voice from Bulgaria with lots of inspirational stuff of high quality.
Thank you @ecoinstant For nominating me and thank you so much @jerrybanfield for having a look, I am touched.
Also can't go without mentioning the guy with the best humor @likedeeler. Thanks so much <3.
He is the man!! I hope he gets in.
Thank you so much @jerrybanfield for your kind words. I have struggle many obstacles in my life. But i never give up. So i just share what my experience teaches me. My aim is to spread positive vibes among people that set. Thank you so much for encouraging me to do even better. I will constantly put my effort to share smile on each face. It means a lot to me. I am overwhelmed 😊😊
You're welcome @bindu we are honored to be on this journey with you on Steem!
Actually im honored to see such kind words from you. I used to follow you in youtube also but never get a chance to interact. Finally we did. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart! I am glad that you take your precious time for me. Means a lot. You people are my inspiration. Thank you again :)

Thank you Luis for your feedback!
Agree. Jerry does very good job!
Awesome work, Jerry. I've been defending the quality of your picks in the Upvotable series to others in more obscure parts of Steemit, and you are only making it easier and easier.
Thanks for keeping it up.
Thnaks for helping steemit community grow.
I can watch this gif for far too long.
Paraphrase from memory:
"I'll be honest, David. I want all of the credit and none of the blame."
Hm yeah some of her posts are really good, I know how much time it takes to compose a post, coz when I produce a post, it takes more than an hour, phewww
exactly.......
hey man
Outstanding work to support people.
Cool spotlight!
@goldgoatsnguns is where it's at. This is an independent reporter with in depth analyses. I know some people want steemit for recipes and pet pics but there are serious problems in this world right now. These problems will only be solved with serious, uncensored, contentious debate. steemit is a great place for that kind of free speech as long as the censorship police are kept in check. He does crytpos, international affairs, economics, politics etc. A very well-informed guy. Plus, who doesn't love goats?
I really like this type of content! But its not good for me....its one of the reasons I left the states.
Thanks for the recommendation, he'll be in my feed now.
I checked out his article about the German elections, so something I know something about, and couldn´t believe it. The guy can´t even get the name of Germany´s second-biggest party right, the rest of his article is full of it too. This is now the second self proclaimed political commentator I´ve come across on steemit, the other one was this girl writing about the Kurds, and I´m not impressed. It seems like the disdain for established media (which I share) has created a new type of alternative commentator, trying to float on the public´s growing disillusionment with the "old" media, but compared to the established media, which could get the facts right, if they wanted and were not serving certain interest groups, those guys seem to like to float around in a bubble of omniscience which can be easily popped though.
Anyway, his article about the elections has definitely turned me off from reading other stuff by him, where I would have less knowledge myself and would be in need of some guidance by him, but I´m too afraid of an the blind leading the blind experience to enlist his services any further.
You know I have a soft spot for reckless and disillusioned political commentary ;p
So you might enjoy this one:
nice little post by @rycharde about the importance of science writing for a healthy society
https://steemit.com/science/@rycharde/advice-for-science-writers
Thats a solid post, I can't believe this is a founder guy of the Minnow Accelerator Project. Ive seen his name around, now I'm following. Thanks for the recommendation.
