Got a silly comic idea while eating boiled peanuts
Two panel comic: 1st, I am sitting at a desk, someone out of sight asks what qualifies me to be a super hero, I answer saying that I can’t wiggle a boiled peanut out of its shell with my front teeth
2nd: Squirrel Girl sitting on the other side of the desk is leaning in and saying …go on

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.

It seems like it was #TerribleComicTuesday just last week. Woof. No Devil Girl and Moon Dinosaur today. I hope y'all can get over the shock of disappointment. Nay! Today you get the epic tale of the Fall of Klorg the Deathless, Warlock of Fnord! It's pretty darned gripping, friends. Behold:
It says: This One Is For the Transes.

Gather 'round, stout yeomen, and hear the tale of the Fall of Klorg the Deathless. It is a tale told in 5 panels.

Panel 1: The horrifying and Eldritch Klorg stands in a cavern, littered with the bones of centuries of fallen foes. His head is the skull of a deer, antlers reaching towards the cavern ceiling. He is cloaked in shadows, a long, thin neck stretching down to a dark, shrouded body. Two phantasmal bat wings stretch ot behind the warlock. A spikey scepter is held in one hand, while a second, bony appendage points toward a doomed hero. The young man--clad in full plate armor--is holding a sword and a shield.

Klorg speaks: "Thou fool'", says he. "Knowest thou not the prophecy? No man may hinder me! No man's weapon may harm my flesh! No man's will may--"

Panel 2: The hero skips forward, sticking his sword right into Klorg 's most of him. Sound FX is "Stabbity".

Klorg lets out a death rattle, represented by an antlered skull, with Xs for eyes, and a tongue sticking out.

He is dorded.

Panel 3: Our hero is seated at a tavern, ale mug in hand. Next to him, an older, bearded gentleman stands, his own mug gripped tightly. The bearded man says: "A queer thing, your victory. No man had touched Klorg for centuries!"

The hero looks confused. "Aye," he responds. "Queer indeed."

Panel 4: The bearded man has walked away, and our hero takes a drink.

Panel 5: Our hero has placed the mug down on the counter, a look of sudden realization on his face. 

"Oh..." she says.

You know what? It's hard to WRITE a moment of suddenly realizing you are trans. 

The pronouns get you every time.

Um.

Thanks for reading! 

I love you!
