Hey, it's July 1st! Canada Day! It's also the day I had planned to announce this year's Tournament of Sex, because it's when I announced all the previous ones, and it's supposed to be an annual thing. (Since the hosts trade off sequentially, this year was gonna be DJING! and Zedd leading the event.)

Unfortunately, as those of you who follow me on social media know, 2025 hasn't been kind to ol' Tailsteak. I've been dealing with various stresses, including what I now realize is generalized anxiety disorder, and I'm already *way* behind where I'd like to be on various other projects and obligations, including the fact that (as of this writing) I have *no* Forward backlog. I had briefly entertained the notion of drawing Zedd confronting DJING! about forgetting the Tournament they were supposed to be running and making it just a big freeform YCH concert/backstage thing instead, but even that feels like too much for me to tackle right now. Thus... yes, the annual Tournament is, sadly, skipping this year. If I'm lucky, I'll get to bring it back in 2026.

For the time being... please feel free to support me in other ways, by buying regular commissions, subscribing to the Patreon, word of mouth, etc etc. Every bit is appreciated (and helps my mindset and recovery), I really mean it. You guys keep me going, and I know the best is yet to come.
