The Hulk at a petting zoo. Too freakin funny. LOL

The Hulk once set free a huge lab full of animals being held for cosmetic testing, and not a single fuck was given. You go, Hulk. You go.

Once, to get Hulk to calm down and turn back in Banner, Shield deployed a crate full of puppies

How Baby #39: Dad Bod

There’s been a lot of buzz about ‘dad bod’ recently, and how it’s just so wonderful that women, long the arbiters of men’s appearances, have loosened the reins and started to appreciate the ‘dad bod’, a man who looks more at home drinking a few beers and working on the backyard than he does in the club.

If you can’t tell from my sarcasm, that is bullshit. Men have long been afforded more lenient beauty standards than women. And calling it ‘dad’ bod? Because, yeah, becoming a father takes such a toll on the male body.

You want to pat yourself on the back for accepting once-reviled body types, let’s talk about the ‘mom bod’. No one thinks I’m a better partner or provider because my tummy is flabby. I get concern-trolling about my health and ‘getting my body back’, or ‘working on my beach body’.

Let’s be clear, I’m all for bodies that look relaxed and huggable, attached to brains more interested in watching Netflix. It’s just the double-standard that’s burning me up. ‘Dad bod’ isn’t a revolution, it’s just one more way beauty standards don’t apply to men the same way they do to women.

This strip features a guest appearance by my patron Andrew, who graciously allowed me to draw him shirtless. Want to be in How Baby? You know the link. :)

True. Fatphobia towards men still manifests, but it tends to happen when the man is much heavier than this, while with women, it starts from the first 20 lbs.

[pardonmewhileipanic]

yup… plus fat men still get to be the funny husband in various movies and shows, but of course they have a thin wife

they are still represented poorly in those aspects, but they are more accepted and loved, and no one is screaming BUT WHAT ABOUT HEALTH the way they would if the roles were reversed

Mombod AND Dadbod ALL THE WAY. BOTH IS BEST!

I learned about the murder of Kitty Genovese in two separate psychology classes, at two separate universities. It was studied as an example of the “bystander effect”, which is a phenomenon that occurs when witnesses do not offer...

I’ve been doodling comics about the off-screen life of Bruce, who has been struggling to become relevant again after his break out role in a certain seventies film. Here is the first batch of comics from the past couple of weeks.

Thousands of goldfish threaten a whole lake ecosystem Officials in the US are seeking information on the person(s) responsible for releasing goldfish into a Colorado lake. The introduced goldfish have multiplied so successfully that what may have started out as four or five unwanted pets released a couple of years ago into Teller Lake #5 in Boulder, has become a population of 4,000 or more. “Goldfish are not a native species and are very harmful to the local aquatic ecosystem,” said Kristin Cannon, district wildlife manager for Boulder. “We strongly encourage the public not to dump their unwanted pet fish in our waters. It is bad for our environment as well as illegal.” Wildlife officials say they have two options: draining the lake and rebuilding the natural fish stock from scratch, or electrofishing the lake to collect the goldfish, which would then be sent to a raptor rehabilitation centre for food. “Non-native species can be devastating to native populations by causing disease outbreaks and creating competition unbalance. It’s an issue that anyone concerned with our environment should know about,” said Ken Kehmeier, senior aquatic biologist for Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW).

THIS IS WHY YOU DO NOT “SET FREE” YOUR PET FISH

Then suddenly he beheld his sister Éowyn as she lay, and he knew her. He stood a moment as a man who is pierced in the midst of a cry by an arrow through the heart; and then his face went deathly white, and a cold fury rose in him, so that all speech failed him for a while.

Making art out of your disability - Inspiration

[Image description: Three photos all showing very messy rooms in an apartment. One is the kitchen, one is the living room, one is the bedroom. 

Photographer holding up small paper sign which reads: “’ADHD related executive dysfunction’ Mixed media, 19/4 2015″]

Process: 

19:56 - See the original post. Agree. Get inspired. Get urge to do same thing. 20:12 - Start to follow through on that urge. 20:16 - Almost quit out of frustration/exhaustion of not finding a working pen. Settle for a pencil. 20:21 - Almost quit out of frustration/exhaustion of repeatedly misspelling or writing too large or too small. 20:27 - Finally start taking the actual photos. 20:35 - Almost quit out of shame over the state the apartment. 20:45 - Get distracted. 21:15 - Think about editing the photos. Fail to do so. Repeat every 15 min. 23:13 - Finally edit the photos. 23:27 - Almost quit out of frustration over the inconsistency of the photos. 23:30 - Continue feeling shame over the state of the apartment. 23:36 - Save photos and start to write up this post. 23:45 - Make up most of the timestamps because ADHD messes with your sense of time. 00:12 - Finally finish.

I’m not lazy. I’m not a slob. I don’t like my apartment looking like this. I hate how difficult it is for me to do anything about it. I constantly think about what needs to be done and how nice it would look and how much easier it would be to live here if I tidied and organised things.

But I have limited energy/spoons/ability that I need to focus on things that are more vital. Such as: feeding myself, showering, laundry, working, going to appointments at the hospital or welfare office, not to mention doing my best to maintain my own happiness and motivation, and being there for my friends. There is just not enough left over after all that.

I feel this in my bones

[reasonablemongoose]

I thought, what with the H in ADHD, that energy wasn’t in short supply but rather in overabundance. Less a lack of energy and more restlessness if you see what I mean.

[theheroheart]

Actually, no. It SEEMS that way, but ADHDers have about as much energy as anyone else, but we’re not as able to direct that energy towards useful things - thus we expend all the energy on things most people have no trouble with.

See, the brain doesn’t get the right amount of chemicals to perform executive functions, giving problems with organization, time keeping, excessive procrastination, concentration, processing speed, regulating emotions, and utilizing working memory. I use all my energy doing basic tasks.

As I understand it, the involuntary hyperactivity (and impulsiveness) is actually merely a way to try to stimulate the brain and keep it active, to try to make up for lack of chemicals/stimulus. Thus we spent a lot of energy just on trying to have our brain working at the level of everyone else.

Trust me, I WISH it meant an overabundance of energy.
