This is my first @pifc post. But I want to do more of those. I want to keep all of the engaged and creative newbies onboard. In the last days, I exaggerated a bit with my upvotes. This is why I need your help now. ;) Go upvote those promising new steemians!

Looking like a newbie myself

@anaclark About Her Daughter's "Special Needs" And Society

I Accept That My Child Is Special Needs

A text that starts like this …

I thought because I was aware of my Daughter's struggles and diagnoses that I accepted it. I thought.
I was wrong.

… can't fail to catch my attention. So here we have another self-reflecting steemian looking for a thriving society. Go, tell her what we think about people like that. How we love to share our thoughts and mana with them! @anaclark is here for 2 days. This is her introduction post: So, Who The Hack Am I?

Canadian woman
Writer
Artist
Mother
Animal rights activist
Vegan
Mental health informer
Lover of trees
Taker of photos... Wanna be photographer
Intrigued by paranormal
Seeker of enlightenment
Intelligent yet, quite the dimwit at times

@balor scans the internet for scams and crimes and blogs about it.

In his introduction post, he shared this picture which made me wonder if I followed him back in my facebook days … It stems from a German art exhibition. The sheep is made from telephone wires …

A Look Inside an Apple iCloud Phishing Panel.

We were monitoring the Certificate Transparency logs for new SSL certs being issued with suspicious domains, and running some quick scans on the ones that triggered a match, when we came across this lovely iCloud phishing page.

Thanks for cleaning up the internet for us. And happy to have you.

BONUS TRACK

This post earned too much to be part of the contest. I simply added it as a bonus because I love the picture and that his first post is almost a longread … Thanks for the engagement. We want to see more!

@srigari has the balls to come here and state …

Hi, I am Sri, and I'd love to share my failure story with you

Welcome, my friend! Thank you for leaving your comfort zone and join the Steem-Dream-Team of imperfect humans. Your sentiment is enormously appreciated. Quote from his post:

(…)This mindset helped me to land my first software engineering job. And this mindset helped me to land highly challenging and rewarding jobs at Apple and Google later on.

In his post, he shares three stories about "personal failure" and reflects a truth every true passionate Steemian knows: Failure is just another word for a fresh start with a better understanding. A warm welcome, @srigari. You hit one of those Steem nerves! Make yourself comfortable and please challenge our neuro-nets.
