Fixed it from one improper grammar use to a different improper grammar use.

the Pokemon TCG Illustration contest posted their 300 quarter-finalists; I didn't make the cut, but that means I can share my submissions!

btw! I was made aware that many people don't know that we're boycotting Eurovision this year, so.

we are boycotting Eurovision, as per BDS guidelines.

don't watch the stream, don't engage with the videos, don't post it about it on social media using hashtags that are going to trend. whatever you're getting from the show isn't worth it

nothing makes me go "ooooh we are NOT the same" quite like reading some post about how people talk with their parents about their interests. what do you mean you told your father about stevebucky. what do you mean he asked further questions

Translation: What a shitshow. This years Eurovision has gone to hell. And it's first and foremost the EBU's fault.

Also, excerpt from the same article:

Throughout the course of the Eurovision Song Contest, the EBU has acted as if they live in a parallel universe. Eurovision is one thing, the world outside something else. The EBU has stuck its head in the sand. Shoved the problem under the rug. Held their hands over their ears and shouted LALALALALA. They appear to have done everything they can to pretend it's possible to hold an apolitical event in a world that's on fire. We have come together to be "united by music", they say, but the sharpshooters on Malmö's rooftops have nothing to do with us! In its struggle to remain apolitical, the EBU has become like a small fascist state in itself, where the artists' space for expression and action has been reduced as much as the undergarments of the Spanish dancers. It is reprehensible.

Reminder again to BOYCOTT EUROVISION 🇵🇸

Don't watch, don't vote.

देश में लोकसभा चुनाव लड़ने की उम्र 25 साल से घटाकर की जाए 21 साल; राघव चढ्ढा

Delhi News: आम आदमी पार्टी के सांसद राघव चड्ढा ने राज्यसभा में मांग की कि ‘देश में चुनाव लड़ने की न्यूनतम उम्र सीमा 25 साल से घटाकर 21 साल किया जाए। चड्ढा ने कहा कि भारत दुनिया के युवा देशों में से एक है और हमारी 65 प्रतिशत आबादी 35 साल से कम उम्र की है। पहली लोकसभा में सांसदों की औसत उम्र 40 साल से कम थी और अब 17वीं लोकसभा में 40 साल से कम उम्र के सांसदों का प्रतिशत महज 12 प्रतिशत रह गया है। हम…

Happy September everybody, NaNoWriMo has decided to go "no YOU'RE the baddies" because no one likes their AI-ridden sponsor, lmao. In other news, multiple authors are suing OpenAI for copyright infringement.

Prize winners

It had to have been neat. Win a recipe contest, so get drawn into the comic book, and have your recipes published at the end. I don't know if they had to drop last names as they at forty year olds not signed the release they did at ten. It figures that the boy's menu item has a gross factor, not really needing the explication. The girl's -- well, we go from having it all laid out for you at the end of the comic to -- "It's a secret".

Keeper -- a short comic about an angel meeting a robotic lighthouse keeper that doesn't know the world has already ended. Made in about 18 hours for a 24-hour 24-page* black and white comic challenge (that I arrived late to, ha.)

*the actual submission does not include the cover, which was created after the fact for this post.

This was a really great learning experience as someone who's... never really made a completed comic. I ended up really attached to the story by the end of the project (possibly due to all-nighter deliriousness lol) and ultimately am very proud of what I made.There are some things I'd still like to change, particularly text placement, but in keeping with the spirit of the challenge I've elected to leave it as is.
