Celebrating the season with Elizabeth Wirt's Flora's Dictionary for #titlepageTuesday today! Wirt's floriography originally published in 1829, was the first successful floral interpreter published in America, and helped popularize the blossoming genre.

Someone posted an AITA post from Charlotte Lucasβs perspective and this is the funniest comment Iβve seen on it so far.
My favourite comment exchange.
This website has ruined me because I was not expecting a child to speak when he called himself daddy…
I can’t say I felt the same, but I have tremendous admiration for his composure
[Transcript:]
Person filming: Can you again ask me what you just asked me? What was that question? I don't think... Daddy didn't hear you.
Child offscreen: When can we have lesbian?
Dad: Mhmm. Okay. Maybe I did hear you right. Um, I don't know what that is, Sweetie, I don't know what you mean.
Child, emphatically: Lesbian!
Dad: No, I know-- I know what you said, but I don't think that word means what you think it means, okay?
Child: It's like... spaghetti.
Dad: [Clears throat] Oh, excuse me. [Audibly restraining laughter] Do you mean lasagna?
Child: Yep!
Dad: Okay. Um, yeah, [high pitched with amusement] I'm sure we can have-- [serious] I'm sure we can have lasagna really soon, okay? We'll-- We'll try to... Yeah, we'll make sure that we can-- we can eat that soon, okay? Does that sound-- does that sound good?
Child: Yeah!
Dad: Okay, alright. Thank y--

My favorite part of this is that he doesn't show his kid's face.
In an era when so many kids are used for funny videos, where their faces are splashed across the internet before they even know what the internet is, it's really refreshing to see people respecting their kids' privacy.
I want to be very clear: I did not schedule this to post on Easter weekend.

I canβt stop thinking about this message, so I spent a while trying to isolate just the writing and make it transparent. I might order a shirt with it
Whoever in Clackamas wrote this message on their bus stop, I love you
ID: a sketchy two page comic of my tortoiseshell kittens, Maggie and Bunny.
From off panel, I hold my hands out to Maggie, who leans away
Me: Aw, Maggie doesn't wanna come up?
Maggie: Mother I am not a child.
Me: You're ten months old.
Maggie: I am a warrior.
Bunny pops up from behind her sister.
Bunny: I'm not! I'm baby <3
I scoop Bunny up while Maggie watches in shock and confusion.
Me: Aw, yes you are, Bunny. Who's my sweet baby?
Maggie flops on her back and shows her tummy. She has big blobby tears in her eyes.
Maggie: Mommy??? Betrayal?? You abandon your baby?? Your Darling Girl?? Your little Maggie-Pie?!?
End ID.
favorite fruit this favorite tumblr sexy man that. tell me your favorite trees. mine are magnolias and gingko
i love this post because everyone is saying so many lovely trees and even many trees i have not heard of before or would not have thought of but are all very good trees :)
No, actually, you guys do need to know about the world's largest cashew tree, in Brazil.
You see this patch of vegetation?
This guy has an area of 8.500m and produces 2 tons of cashews a year. It's not very tall, it's just that from the moment it was planted it grew sideways forever.
The branches weight down and at some spots get buried into the ground, but they all come out of the same tree, growing from a single spot in the ground.
It's the Cajueiro of Pirangi, and it's 130 years old!

in the next batman movie selina is back in town to con bruce wayne which he knows but he missed her so much and obviously he can afford it so he just lets her
she reveals she’s robbed him and he’s like oh that’s fine lol if you needed money you could have just asked :) and writes her a check for a million dollars and asks when he can see her again and she’s like dang this guy is insane??
he was terrified she could never love him for bruce wayne meanwhile selina’s like okay edgy badboys are OUT rich himbos are IN but its the same guy
she expects batman to try to stop her at some point but he never does so she concludes that he just really hates bruce wayne for some reason which makes him all the more attractive
batman realizes she’s falling for bruce for real and he’s not even jealous he’s just like “you really like him? 🥺 that’s great 🥺” and selina’s like wtf
anyway she sneaks into bruce’s study or whatever to crack the safe hidden behind the painting and it’s full of roses, jewelry, bruce’s blank checkbook and a little note asking her to dinner. he thinks that this is normal behavior btw
