The perception of black cats varies between cultures but in the West, they generally have been associated with darkness, bad faith, and death. However, artist Jenny Jinya wants to change that. To her, the color of the fur doesn’t matter. Not so long ago, she created a comic about the life of a black cat. It instantly went viral, so Jenny decided to make a sequel to it. “There are dozens of posters and infographics with various statistics about abandoned or abused animals....

Arj Barker ’s “ Babygate” is far from being over just yet. However, it would appear that the latest reports of the incident have tipped the scale closer to the comedian’s favor, as the alleged breastfeeding show-goer made questionable TV appearances with her baby .

In the “Chess Project”, I have used the chess pieces to attempt to explain my society. I used the stereotype of king, soldier, and castle to explain the power cartels in my society and the world. In this series, the audience sees a number of objects, which carry the same meaning in the world. The objects show the classes of society and the hunger for power between ordinary people and the dominant forces....

A “traditional life” never appealed to Scott and Brittany Meyers. Instead they envisioned a different sort of life… on the water. In 2010, the newlyweds set sail from Chicago, making their way around the east coast of the US and through the Caribbean island chain to Trinidad. While there, they discovered they’d soon welcome a third crew member. In 2012 they were joined by their baby girl, Isla. The trio bought a bigger boat and sailed from Florida to Grenada, where they were shocked to discover they were pregnant again....

Living with a partner often means sharing space, responsibilities, and major decisions about your home . While compromise is part of any relationship, there are situations where boundaries are essential to maintain trust and personal comfort. When one person’s autonomy is overlooked, even small changes can quickly feel overwhelming and erode the sense of safety that a home should provide. This was the situation today’s Original Poster (OP) found herself in when her boyfriend’s mother moved into their place “temporarily”....

Niigata Prefecture, Japan, has thought of a novel way to use the straw left over from their rice harvest. A “wara” or rice-straw festival is held every August 31st, where local artists build elaborate straw sculptures over wooden frames. The frames allow the statues to be larger and let spectators interact with them. Amy Goda, an aspiring local artist, has gained fame for her spectacular rice-straw dinosaur sculptures. Her massive creatures have made the Wara Art Festival famous online....

No matter how many times we hear that revenge is never the right thing to do, sometimes it’s the only thing that we feel will do justice. And quite often, reading about somebody getting what they deserved is quite satisfying. For example, probably many of us lose our cool when we call a person as we need them urgently, and they just don’t answer. One Reddit user shared his revenge story that was provoked by a similar situation....

I have always wanted to explore regions where Marco Polo visited during his fabled travels. So when the chance appeared I took it without thinking too much. And what could be better than a 5-day, 70 km, hike to one of the highest continuously inhabited settlement in Europe?

It’s my second post dedicated to all kinds of wonderful animals living on our planet. You know, when I hear and read how people can be cruel, stupid, cocky, full of arrogance to the world we live in, I personally do feel ashamed. I feel sad as well, that I have to be part of that species. Don’t get me wrong, I only wish to live in fully eco-educated society. Of course I’m not a saint neither, I have huge gas engine in my car, I need plenty of energy everyday, like everybody, so I need some changes too....

I make paper art installations. I was inspired by my desire to do some unique art with simple material like paper. This tapestry design technique involves hand cutting thousands of strips of colored paper and twisting them tightly around a thin wire to get paper curls. I then glue the papercraft onto hand-drawn patterns to make these works. The paper curls blend into one another, and a sophisticated paper tapestry emerges from thousands of these connections....

The world keeps amazing me. The more I travel the more I realize how much I don’t know. Pakistan was my latest adventure and my trip’s purpose was to visit the Kalash valley located in the Hindu Kush mountain range near the Afghani border. The moment you meet the Kalash you notice their different looks. It is like you have visited an old European village. They have a unique culture which is totally different from the Pakistani and Afghani people....

I recently took an epic six-week road trip through nine countries, to capture abandoned places that have rarely or never been photographed before. In particular, I focused on hidden relics from the Cold War era. I traveled from Paris to Milan, Kyiv, Pripyat (Chernobyl), Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Tallinn, Budapest, Sofia, Reykjavik, Kyzylorda in Kazakhstan, and Larnaca on Cyprus. The project was a part of Nikon’s Spotlight, abandoned places. The interesting photos I have shared below include the long-forgotten wreck of a Douglas DC-3 aircraft in Iceland, the Chernobyl nuclear disaster site and its ghost town Pripyat, and two prototype Soviet spacecraft from the space race photographed together for the first time in an abandoned warehouse deep in the Kazakhstan desert....

When it comes to our loved ones , we want to do everything possible to celebrate their birthday and make them feel special. However, this definition of “special” is different for everyone, as some prefer a slow day, while others love to go all out and party hard. This man belonged to the former category as he wanted a simple birthday, but his wife loved to socialize and went against his wishes....

Tucked behind iron gates and winding driveways lie some of the most extraordinary properties on Earth. They resemble monumental art installations more than traditional homes, often concealing highly unique elements such as subterranean entertainment zones, responsive smart tech, and secret rooms straight out of an escape game. Some stars collect lavish homes like trophies, while others pour their eccentricity into a single jaw-dropping residence. Either way, the results are delightfully absurd and challenge expectations for architecture....

Family members should help one another out so that they can make each other’s tasks feel easier, instead of leaving one person with the entire burden . Unfortunately, this seems to be the case for quite a few folks whose loved ones just aren’t willing to do their share at all. This is exactly what one woman faced in her household because her dad and brother expected her mom to cook, clean, and do everything for them....

But one 14-year-old found herself in a nightmare scenario when she told her teacher she urgently needed the bathroom due to a period emergency, and was met with a response that turned an already uncomfortable moment into something humiliating....

I have done this project completely based on my feelings. About my depression. At first, I thought I would do a self-portrait series but due to the nature of the Bangladeshi culture, I could not gather the courage to do that. In this society, depression is seen as attention or sympathy seeking. That is why I used different models to bring out the different sides of depression. Many people around us are depressed....
