Allie Brosh and Hyperbole and a Half are back after a year and a half of internet silence. That’s incredibly good news for people who like awesome things.

I point this out for two reasons:

  1. It contains one of the best evolutionary biology illustrations of all time (above), about how we are at the end of a long line of things that successfully avoided getting chewed to death.
  2. It is one of the greatest explorations and personal stories of depression and mental health that I have ever seen, and should really be read by every single damn person on Earth.

#brains are weird and it’s strange that they have evolved to be so powerful and can turn against their owners so completely

I know I’ve already reblogged the return of HaaH twice today, but this is a particularly good set.  Also those tags sum up my general reaction to my own depression most days … why are our brains so easily turned against us?
