If the point is for the children to learn, then why wouldn’t you give them as many chances as it takes? What is the benefit of telling a child “you failed and that’s the end of it”?

As an experiment, we planted some “Glass Gem” corn in the garden. A tiny packet of seed corn was given to us by a daughter. We had room for only a few plants, so we didn’t have high hopes that it would pollinate well. Today we pulled back the husks and found precious little ears of corn!

I’m always so, so happy when I see people enjoying glass gem corn as it was borne out of the work of Carl Barnes, a Cherokee man, as a way to further connect with his heritage

When he began growing some older kinds of corn, the genetics of different ancestral types started to reappear.

He took it upon himself to seek out the elders to whose tribes those ancestral strains had been loved and cultivated by previously. It allowed these tribes to welcome back and cultivate the corn their ancestors knew.

The glass gem varieties were part of the selective breeding he worked on.

Unfortunately, Carl passed in 2016. Something that tugs at my heart is that he gained the name White Eagle, which is also the name of the dent corn our tribe is known for and is grown by us to this day.

The corn he cultivated (and re-cultivated) are still available to purchase and grow yourselves here

Like I hate to be this person, but why aren’t we taught that slavery was genocide? why aren’t we taught that colonialization was genocide. There are whole tribes and cultures that do not exist anymore because of slavery and colonization. 24 MILLION INDIGENOUS PEOPLE DIED DURING THE SPANISH CONQUEST! 60 MILLION BLACK PEOPLE DIED DURING THE SLAVE TRADE (that isn’t even counting the black people of African diaspora during slavery and even after). Millions of black/brown people died and no one even understands it. That shit IS genocide, and the fact that we’re not taught that it is, the fact that things like colonization ARE praised in classes just appalls me. Slavery and colonization done to black/brown people IS genocide. And the fact that no one is telling us that what happened to our ancestors is genocide and expecting us to forget it, speaks volumes abt how white societies view the complete eradication of brown/black people. Our genocides don’t matter to them.

Athena blessed her with the ability to protect herself and men beheaded her for it.

That’s actually a really intetesting intpretation of it I hadn’t thought of. Most people seem to think Athena turned Medusa into a gorgon as punishment for defiling her temple, but thinking that she did so to protect her from being abused again is interesting and I like it!

[gabyluvsxena]

Athena’s hands were tied. Yes, she was a powerful Goddess, but she was very much a woman in a “boys club”, and the true offending party (don’t think for a moment that Athena blamed Medusa for being raped in the temple, Athena knows better) held all the cards. There was nothing that Athena could do to punish the true criminal, and she was expected to punish Medusa by everyone else. What’s a Goddess to do when she cannot punish those who need to be punished and is expected to punish not only the truly innocent party, but her most beloved follower? Use that incredible brain power she had to protect Medusa at all costs, and of course the men would see it as punishment, to be have her beauty stripped from her and sent to live in the shadows. Medusa should have been KILLED for supposedly defiling the temple, whether she truly did or not, but she was given the gift of life, and the ability to protect herself and her daughters (who she bore thanks to Poseidon). This is why Medusa’s image was used to signify woman’s shelters and safe houses.

Medusa means “guardian; protectress”, and she was.

People assume that being a magical girl is all about sparkles and moon beams and romance, but the thing that the masses miss about the power fantasy behind magical girls is that almost every single protagonist is a HUGE jock

“All magical girls are clumsy and personality-less”

Actually, all magical girls are RIPPED, little girls dream of physically dunking on you while looking cute doing it, and we SUPPORT
