Glass Gem is a unique strain of
corn with kernels that look like
pieces of rainbow-colored glass.

Carl Barnes, an Oklahoma farmer, started growing older corn varieties to connect with his Cherokee heritage. 

He isolated ancestral strains Native American tribes lost in the 1800s when they were relocated to Oklahoma.

Soon he began exchanging ancient corn seed with growers from all over the country, while simultaneously saving and replanting seeds from the most colorful cobs.

This eventually resulted in rainbow-colored corn.

When the rainbow corn mixed with the traditional varieties it created new strains, displaying more vibrant colors and patterns over time.

Glass Gem is a flint corn, so it isn’t really eaten off the cob. It’s usually ground into cornmeal and used in tortillas or grits, but it can also be used to make popcorn.

If you love corn and rainbows, seeds can be purchased online for about $7.95.

@ men, women are conditioned to please/serve you so it’s hard to break out of this in relationships but if you are receptive to hearing “NO” and create an environment in your relationship where it’s okay to have a preference without the other person blowing up at you/getting mad then you will see more “honesty”/authentic behaviour from the women you date because they feel as comfortable saying no as saying yes

“I don’t care if your experience is totally in line with how I’m defining ‘asexual’ if you don’t IDENTIFY as asexual you’re not asexual and you don’t understand asexuality and can’t comment on it” so uh I’m just wondering when people who say this will realize that this is a tacit admission that modern definitions of asexual are inconsistent at best and that asexual as an identifier may be personally, individually significant but is materially meaningless?

Identifiers like gay, bisexual, trans, etc are about naming an experience that’s part of a material reality. That experience is the primary thing! The experience comes first, then the label. You can have an experience of effectively being bisexual, for example, and never call yourself that for whatever reason. It is the experience that necessitates a label of some kind in order to communicate this thing that affects how we move in the world, or at least one facet of how we move in the world.

When you say that an asexual experience can ONLY be had by someone who calls themselves asexual you are saying that the label is what necessitates the experience. And when the application of that label is subject to endlessly moving goalposts, well… what else are you really saying?
