It’s been quite the year for “The Queen of Shitty Robots,” Simone Giertz.

The diagnosis and surgery of a non-cancerous brain tumor, and now the return of it, hasn’t made things the easiest for the YouTube star.

While some would want to see the back of their removed tumor, Giertz managed to get a photo of it… in Antarctica. 

After sending it far, far away, Giertz posted the image of the tumor on Twitter, complete with ice shelves in the background.

The “Queen of Shitty Robots” won’t be stopped.

In the six months since the YouTube star and inventor had a large brain tumor that could have left her paralyzed, blind, or a completely different person removed, Simone Giertz moved her workshop out of her house, jumped back into vlogging for her nearly 1.4 million subscribers, gave a TED talk, and kickstarted an electronic calendar — all while rocking a silvery “supervillain scar” that runs down her scalp, flirting with her hairline

“If I can’t even take off time when I’ve had fucking brain surgery,” Giertz says over a Skype call from her new, larger workshop in San Francisco. “When am I going to feel that it’s OK to take time off?” Read more…

As she recovers from brain surgery, Simone Giertz is chronicling her experience with trademark honesty and humor.
