Oh, that Jenny Jinya. She never fails at ripping our hearts out. 

The talented artist who has a gift at tugging on people's heartstrings has returned with another heartbreaking comic. If you aren't familiar with Jinya's work, they all feature neglect to animals. It's sometimes hard to digest but there is a powerful meaning and message behind every story she tells. 

Stories of dogs, cats, birds, elephants, you name it, Jenny Jinya will tell it and leave you punched right in the feels.  This time, it's about a neglected parakeet who couldn't live up to its owners expectations and was a nuisance. Just a friendly heads up, you'll want some tissues in arm's reach.

If you're in need of a daily dose of motivation, or any sort of pick-me-up, Instagram page @TheLastestKate is what you need. And let's be honest with ourselves, who doesn't need a pick-me-up these days? 

You're probably well aware of Jenny Jinya, at this point. Jinya's comics in the past have been beyond heartbreaking, yet informative and always held with an important message.

This one is no different, except it is. According to Jinya's Twitter, this comic was in reaction to those asking for a "happy" comic, "By popular request, I have now tried a "happy" comic. A new character is also introduced. But I don't know yet if this one will appear again. It was a lot of fun to draw this comic, but I think the heartbreaking stories are more my style."

You continue turning out these stories, Jinya, and we will always be here to listen! 

Relationships can be complicated, and sometimes we need a little reminder to put ourselves first, to exercise self-care, and to do what's best for us. While the internet is full of inspirational quotes to help you along the way, these ones are written in balloons and we're loving them! Portland-based artist and writer Michael James Schneider is famous for creating pictures containing inspirational quotes about relationships and self-care but writing them in balloons. They're uplifting and inspiring and we're loving them! 

When it comes to clever one-liners and witty statements, it turns out T-shirt designers are pretty talented. Whether it's parents, husbands, wives, or kids, it's easy to make people laugh just by looking at what's written on your front or back. These people found super creative ways to show off their sense of honor through their clothing. So scroll through and chuckle with us!

We can't believe this scamming tactic ever works. How many people believe that a complete stranger claiming to be a CEO or government official or whatever would need you to pay them with gift cards? Either way, when it happens to savvy people, they try to have fun with a text message scammer. The person on the other end is apparently so desperate for those gift cards that scammers can get trolled for a ridiculously long time.

Seems like a fun experiment to try out. Just write up a random message, throw it in a bottle, toss it out to sea, and see where it washes up. Pretty dang cool. 

Well if this isn't the most ironic message exchange we've ever seen. One particularly angry Karen was so fed up with the "Karen" trope that she messaged the admin of the Facebook group No, KaReN to complain about how bigoted she felt the group was. Well, lucky for us the admin had quite the sense of humor and decided to indulge her frustrations. Let's just say, the whole thing is incredibly ironic and hilarious. 

Want more Karen content? We've got tons.

New York From Behind is the Instagram account documenting all of the quirky and creatively dressed fashionistas of NYC but from behind. No faces, only heads, backs, and butts. Cast your minds back to less than a month ago when New Yorkers (and the rest of the world) were able to roam around freely, where people had the opportunity to show off their somewhat questionable fashion taste to the world. This account reminds of happier days, where we were able to get close enough to each other to take pictures of such things. Here is a selection of some of NYC's most fashionable and boldly dressed individuals. 

This guy has got moxie. Sometimes people just think that asking for someone's stuff will get them that stuff, like this incompetent lowballer who demanded a guys address so he could steal his bike. It's too bad this guy probably didn't get to finish watching his show, I mean, two episodes left, that's gotta hurt.

And he is successfully getting that message across! Portuguese artist, Artur Bordalo, has created an art series, 'Big Trash Animals,' that has been so successful in achieving his goals in drawing attention to waste production locally that he's now going global! 

From the USA to Estonia and Tahiti. Bordalo scavenges his materials from waste that was dumped in the area, which, sadly, has proven to be less than difficult. And from that trash, he creates his magnificent sculptures.

In Bordalo's own words, "I belong to a generation that is extremely consumerist, materialist and greedy. With the production of things at its highest, the production of "waste" and unused objects is also at its highest. "Waste" is quoted because of its abstract definition: "one man's trash is another man's treasure". I create, recreate, assemble and develop ideas with end-of-life material and try to relate it to sustainability, ecological and social awareness."

See some of his work below! You can also check out his website and follow on Instagram. 

Breakups are tough on all of us, and everyone deals with them in their own unique way. Some people, like this guy's ex-girlfriend, go on the rebound and immediately get into a relationship with the first person that comes their way. This girl was clearly NOT over her last relationship!
