    I voted for Kākāriki, as I think I’ve seen them around our house. Originally thought they were Aussie parrots! (immigrant birds welcome too here, of course)

    Thanks for sharing . I agree that art (no matter what kind) is a powerful force and a beautiful thing.

    I think this might be my first ever intentional thread, and it's all for World Mental Health Day, and it's about what art has done for me.

    Wow. I saw Blade Runner 2049 yesterday - outstanding movie, and the colours in each scene were amazing.

    The look of Las Vegas in "Blade Runner 2049" was inspired by photographs of the 2009 Australian dust storm.

    I actually quite like the new Dropbox design. It’s eye catching, but not an eye sore.

    This is mad 😍

    Definitely the most millennial thing I have ever read. Funny though.

    This might be the stupidest thing I've ever read.
