Chelsea Martin (born July 16, 1986) is an American author and illustrator.

Early life

She received a BFA from California College of the Arts in 2008.

Career

She is the author of Everything Was Fine Until Whatever (Future Tense Books, 2009), The Really Funny Thing About Apathy (Sunnyoutside, 2010), Kramer Sutra (Universal Error, 2012), and Even Though I Don't Miss You (Short Flight/Long Drive Books, 2013), which was named one of the Best Indie Books of 2013 by Dazed Magazine and was a small press bestseller. Her work has also appeared in numerous journals including Poetry Foundation, Hobart (magazine), Lena Dunham's newsletter Lenny Letter Vice' and the Alt lit Anthology '’40 Likely To Die Before 40.'’

Her work has been described as "emotionally honest", "provocative and disturbing", and, "less disaffected than the Alt lit peers she's associated with." Her work has often been compared to that of Harmony Korine.

Nylon Magazine said her work "feels like a meditation on consciousness, feeling, and of course, the absence of both," and Publishers Weekly called The Really Funny Thing About Apathy "a fixation on fleeting incidents in the life of the young and fearful."

Martin is a comic artist. Her comic Heavy-Handed was published bi-weekly on The Rumpus in 2012 and 2013. She is also the illustrator of the book of poetry Four-Letter Poems by Joshua Brandon (Universal Error, 2011).

In 2010, Martin founded the art collective Universal Error, where she is currently Creative Director.

Martin has self-published several chapbooks and comic books, and is a proponent of self-publishing.

    According to the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) website, the nomination period for the 2025 Philippine House of Representatives party-list election is yet to be announced. As of now, there is no official list of nominees for the election.

    However, I can provide you with general information about the party-list system in the Philippines, which allows representation for marginalized and underrepresented sectors in the House of Representatives.

    Under the current rules, political parties and coalitions may nominate candidates to fill the 59 party-list seats in the House of Representatives. Each political entity may have multiple nominees, but the number of seats allocated to each party is determined by the percentage of the national vote they receive.

    Here are five key points about the party-list system in the Philippines:

    1. **Democratic Representation**: The party-list system aims to ensure the representation of disadvantaged sectors in the House of Representatives, such as OFWs (Overseas Filipino Workers), indigenous peoples, women, youth, and marginalized communities.
    2. **Sectoral Representation**: Political parties and coalitions must identify the sector or group they will represent in their nomination. This ensures that different sectors have a voice in the House of Representatives.
    3. **Proportional Representation**: Party-list seats are allocated proportionally to the number of votes each party receives nationwide. This means that a party that receives a higher number of votes will be allocated more seats.
    4. **Term Limits**: Party-list representatives, like regular representatives, serve a term of three years or until the end of the 19th Congress.
    5. **Electoral Process**: The party-list election is separate from the regular district-based representative elections. Nominees are elected through a nationwide popular vote, and the winner is the party or coalition that receives the most votes.

    Please note that as the election is still pending, the 2025 Philippine House of Representatives party-list election nominees have not been officially announced.
