Not sure how much of the month I’ll commit to, but 1: fav OC — gotta be my disaster telepath Rylan :’) (he is tired of hearing everybody’s thoughts all the time) #art #bweirdOCtober #bweirdOCtober2026 #OCsky

digital colored drawing of a young man with light brown skin, angular features, and a partly-dyed-pink undercut/mullet, sitting on a ledge and leaning forward, resting his head onto one hand. he looks tired, glancing off to the side.

Reading, and writing, are holy. I love reading novels because they tell me something. They say: "this is what someone believed enough to dedicate months or years of their life to say." This is just as true for the trashiest pulp as it is for the highest literature.

little post about being a genetic mutant (but the superpower is just a predisposition for cancer 🥲) if you think extra cancer risk might run in your family, see if genetic testing + counseling might be right for you! @facingourrisk.bsky.social bit.ly/force-NHCW #NationalHereditaryCancerWeek #BRCA1

Cartoon drawing of Ash in black-and-white, climbing up with determination between two spiraling strands in teal and pink (previvor colors)—they evoke ribbons, or a DNA helix.

Text reads: September 30th is Previvor Day (someone who has an elevated risk of developing cancer, but has not been diagnosed with cancer).

The same cartoon drawing of Ash.

Text reads: "You have an inherited high risk for several kinds of cancers" isn't something you want to hear.
But at the same time, having that knowledge empowers you to take charge.

The same cartoon drawing of Ash.

Text reads:

Being a previvor is a weird in-between.
You don't have cancer; out you do still have appointments, lab work, scans, surgeries, and the spectrum of feelings that come with the territory.
It's grief, and fearing your future... and, it's also the bravery in facing it anyway, defying the odds on purpose.

idk what it is with water specifically, …ok actually now that I think about it lol. it’s because I have to get ice and salt (POTS) and fill up the filtered pitcher and then fill up my water bottle etc if I just had bottles of salted water in the fridge it would be much easier to grab and drink it

I actually don’t even think it’s a song about being happy 😭 “I can’t stand myself, and neither can you, but this man settled for me!” Either way though it’s also not good

also funny bc I listened to this a thousand times in college, and also separately got more into The National within the last couple years, and did not put these two things together sooner

i take an iced coffee to the job interview. as we shake hands, i nervously spill a little coffee on the interviewer's shirt. they excuse themselves to clean up. i insert a flash drive into an open usb port. i'm in the system. security escorts the terminated interviewer out. i sit down at my desk.

(it isn’t intense or consistent enough for me to be Truly worried about it, been assuming it’s any number of other-internal-organ-tomfoolery. more bemusing than anything. but also irritating, because: why.)

it would be nice if the spot where I haven’t had an appendix for a year now would stop having pain in it
