Just signed up here and am excited to explore this platform and share my art, humor, photography, vegan foodporn, gardening, philosophy, peaceful parenting, nature, animal & human rights passions.
I grew up glugging soymilk off the grid on America's largest hippy commune, have never eaten animals, so I'm kinda like a weirdo from another planet, but I'm a nice weirdo with a unique perspective, lots of crazy stories, endless artistic output, and a zest for sharing and spreading all awesome sauces.
I run a vegan food group of 161K where I post all my food :)
Our almost 2 acres is a Certified Wildlife Habitat and I'm obsessed with photographing all the glory of nature
Save the monarchs! I planted milkweed, raised & released over 2 dozen monarchs in 2018 and am so excited to help them again this year!

I paint walls, canvases, hats, shirts, boots, counters, cabinets, rocks and more. I'll paint anything :D
And I'll sew anything. Custom art clothes/costumes, bags, wall hangings, anything.
Rescue chicken, Chuckie, will be 13 this spring. Her brother, Cucumber, doesn't like to cuddle.

Wow your work looks amazing! Enjoy your journey here!

Welcome @celestethebest. I will not repeat @nateonateemit's good advice. I am, however, going to call over two of my vegan friends from #PowerHouseCreatives (formerly @steemitbloggers) - @plantstoplanks and @thekitchenfairy. If you are a photographer, you may also want to post to the platform from Instagram - it's a great way to get going. Here is my referral link https://share2steem.io/?ref=fionasfavourites
My name on Discord and Instagram is the same if you want to get in touch.
Oh, and two more things: Congratulations on being selected by @c-squared and make use of the various tools including https://steemd.com/@celestethebest to see how many votes, comments and posts you are able to make.
Be sure to maximize your RCs where you will get the best return.
Good luck with your @steemit journey
Lastly, I am sorry you have been caught up in the flag wars. IGNORE them and don't take it personally

Thanks for tagging me pretty lady 🤗
Thanks for calling me over, too!
Welcome to Steemit! I'm so glad to see another fellow vegan here :) What is the name of the group and where can I find it? :) I wish I would have never eaten an animal either but the reality is different. I try not to look back and be grateful for every life that I saved since I've become vegan.
You seem to be a very interesting person with some great hobbies! I'm looking forward to seeing your posts as I think I will like them a lot :)
Have fun! I'm sure you'll find many friends here :)
Hi and welcome @celestethebest

Oh yea, I have upvoted you and followed you. Many blessings!

Welcome to the steemit community @celestethebest!
So it looks like you have experience to share with a whole lot of steemians! So perhaps @homesteaderscoop, @sagescrub, @andiekins, would all be cool to connect with; there are so many.
Also you take beautiful photos, so maybe #photography!
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask, there are a lot of people here who are knowledgeable, and we can provide answers to most questions.
Patience is definitely a virtue here, have fun!
Hope your stay is lifelong, and you get much satisfaction out of it!

Sorry for any inconvenience!
Hey there farm girl, I love your rocks and I've never seen anyone hold a chicken, a hen, like that. Magical. Beautiful. Food porn is awesome for sure.

Welcome! I'm always happy to see more vegans joining the platform, especially when they have yummy food to share. I think @thekitchenfairy already offered up to join the vegan discord group, but I'll also extend an invite to come join the #fruitsandveggiesmonday contest next week if you like! I just posted the winners announcement on the @vegansofsteemit page if you'd like to check out what it is about. Not everyone is vegan who joins, but it is a great group of people who share all kinds of delicious vegan food on Mondays! We would love to have you!
Hi, welcome to steemit. I upvoted your post.
(These are the most interesting applications/services to use as a cryptocurrency enthousiast.)
If you have any questions, let me know.
Welcome to Steem Blockchain. Your place is awesome! Looking forward you show us your needlework...#needleworkmonday

Sorry, my VP is super low cause I've been going NUTS with my voting lately, but I did upvote you with what little I can. Looks like a bunch of other folks already have that covered ;) I'm Nate, and I'm here to say hi. I love your painted rocks and geriatric rescue chicken! And what is that pretty blue and red butterfly? Though not a vegan, I think it's cool that you are, and odd that you've never eaten meat. Even most vegans have, and you're probably the first person I've ever heard of that never has! You'll fit in here great, there's tons of vegans in our community. @fionasfavourites is another chef you'll love to follow (though, again, not always vegan friendly). Glad to see @sagescrub has already gotten you a delegation too!
Welcome to steem :) We're very glad you're here, and I hope you can dig yourself in and get pretty well established here! You'll find there's a good group of folks here with homesteading and sustainability on their mind. Not the least of which are @sagescrub (creator of @homesteaderscoop), @riverflows (creator of @naturalmedicine), @pennsif (creator of @altlife, the alternative lifestyle show for homesteaders), and @freedomtowrite and @freedompoint (creators of @ghscollective). Those are the ones driving the sustainability bus on steem. Lots of others like @porters, @walkerland, @mountainjewel, @sustainablelivin (@mariannewest's profile for her Sustainable Living Podcast), @squishysquid, @goat-girlz, @senorcoconut, @vanessamidwife, @ppmsilver, @allyinspirit, @makinstuff, @simplymike, @craigcryptoking, @buckaroo, @papa-pepper, @wildhomesteading, and many many more are the ones in the community making it such a great group to be with. They're all well worth a follow. For a more complete list, @pennsif has compiled a directory of active steemian homesteaders that can be accessed HERE and is a great way to network and find Homesteaders near you if they're on here.
Most communities on steem currently meet on discord, so that's a really handy app for steemians looking to get into the swing of things. It offers a simple, user-friendly messaging place where we can all talk and keep up off chain. There are hopeful developments coming for on-chain options, but those are probably a few forks away. You'll learn about hard forks as you grow on the chain a bit. Til then, our three main groups are Homesteaders Co-op, Natural Medicine, and Global Homesteading Collective. The Homesteaders Co-op website is a marketplace built by @sagescrub where we are able to buy and sell sustainably produced goods using STEEM, SBD, and USD as well as gift and barter economics. It's the first marketplace of it's kind, and we're all quite excited about it.
A great tool for steem interaction is @ginabot. A splendid notification service that works through discord to let you know about steem interactions on chain. She'll let you know when you're mentioned, when people send you money, when certain folks make a post, or when posts are made with your favorite tags. Very very helpful, and I think most steemians use Gina.
One thing you'll find is that there are a lot of interfaces with the steem blockchain. There's steemit.com, busy.org, steempeak.com, partiko.app, d.tube, and many others that all boast different features and benefits. In any steem link, you can change out those sites and get the same post in different formats depending on your preferred interface. I prefer SteeemPeak and Partiko, but it's a fun learning experience to try a few for yourself, as the Steemit interface is a very basic interface that leaves much to be desired. Thats an intentional situation though, as Steemit Inc (Stinc) has bigger things to worry about.
I hope this little introduction can help you a bit. Things like this weren't being done much during the hectic time when I joined steem. As changes have been made to the chain and how it works, this kind of thing has become very important to help people stay engaged on the platform. With the price of steem being down (you'll find nobody cares terribly much about that), things have calmed down and many of the spammers and uninterested parties have gone inactive. As have many other good people, but (in general) the people you encounter here are the ones that truly desire to be here and see promise in the platform. We're here for the long haul, and we hope you find value here as well. :)
Welcome,
Nate and the whole sustainability community of steem.
Ooh, and don't forget to use all five tags! It'll help get more publicity by helping more people see your posts. As you learn, you'll find the more popular tags that are applicable to you. My personal favorite is #dailychicken. #homesteading, #permaculture, and #ghsc are also popular tags. :)
Greetings, dear Celeste
Be very welcome to steem and steemit platform. I was delighted when I saw your post. I really enjoyed the photos and their writing. I loved your taste for nature and I really liked the photos where you are surrounded by butterflies and a chicken in the arm !!!! She must be very calm !!
