In true Simone Giertz form, Simone Giertz underwent brain surgery last Wednesday, and she's already cracking jokes.
The YouTuber and "Shitty Robots" creator, who announced she had a non-malignant brain tumor in April, shared her first post-op photo update on Monday, uploading a picture of her surgical scar to Twitter.

Giertz has been vocal about her operation on social media, even in the face of a long and arduous recovery process. She even named her tumor Brian and sent it an eviction notice. On the day of her surgery, she said in a video that her surgeon had agreed to take images of her brain, and that she was excited to see them.
"I've always been convinced that I have a really beautiful brain," she said.
Later that day, a third party tweeted from Giertz's account to confirm that the surgery had gone well, visibly reassuring many of her fans. Then, on Saturday, Giertz tweeted another message -- a characteristically funny one -- in her own voice.
"I currently look like Smeagol right as he transitions to Gollum," she wrote.

To use a Giertz-coined phrase, that's some real #TumorHumor.
