The Chinese-American Experience, Then and Now

A museum of Chinese-American history and culture. #Chinese-Americans #museums #WashingtonDC

Washington is a city full of museums. Most visitors head first to the large Smithsonian Museums in and around the mall. But the city also has many smaller, unique and interesting museums. One of those is the Chinese-American Museum. It is on 16th Street NW, not far from Dupont Circle. This lightly attended, free museum is only five years old. Development began in 2018. It was closed for awhile…

Google celebra la vida y obra del fotógrafo Corky Lee

Google dedica su doodle a Corky Lee, un fotógrafo, periodista y activista chino-estadounidense que dedicó su vida a documentar la diversidad y los matices de la comunidad asiático-pacífica en Estados Unidos. En honor al Mes del Patrimonio Asiático-Pacífico Estadounidense, el doodle reconoce las contribuciones de Lee a la ciudad de Nueva York, donde nació en 1947 y donde el 5 de mayo de 1988 se proclamó el “Día de Corky Lee”.

Lee se interesó por la fotografía y la historia desde niño, cuando se dio cuenta de la falta de representación de los miles de trabajadores chinos que ayudaron a construir el ferrocarril transcontinental en el siglo XIX. Se propuso entonces capturar con su cámara las historias y los rostros de los asiático-estadounidenses, tanto en sus logros como en sus luchas. Asistió a protestas, manifestaciones y eventos culturales donde retrató momentos poderosos que mostraban la realidad y la riqueza de su comunidad.

Lee también se dedicó a recrear la foto histórica del ferrocarril transcontinental invitando a los descendientes de los trabajadores chinos que no aparecieron en la imagen original de 1869. Con ello quería demostrar que la historia asiático-estadounidense es parte de la historia estadounidense. Lee falleció en enero de 2021 a los 73 años. Sin duda su legado sigue vivo en sus imágenes.

gold rush

van palmer x reader : the yellowjackets catch onto van's crush on their one of their teams cheerleaders

"van!", the whistle catches vans attention across the moist green field. "did you not see the ball coming straight for your god damn head?" coach martinez questions the dazed ginger. "focus come on!" coach blows the whistle to reset before she even gets the chance to get up. van might not be the tallest girl on the team, but she was the perfect pick for goalie. when the ball came towards that net she was a fiery cannon launching to protect the box. after their last game, 0-3, and an undefeated season, people started saying the game was rigged due to the yellowjackets goalie being psychic. while van was no psychic, she had a knack for predicting what her opponent would do next. according to her she "just goes with her gut". however, lately her 'gut' seems a little distracted.

each second van's eyes were not on the girls pursuing the net, they were on the girl's soccer team cheerleaders. particularly, you. van couldn't help simply 'observing' the way your skirt hiked up your soft thighs as you demonstrated your moves to the squad. or the way your ponytail sat high on your head and the sweat slipped down your neck... and that's how she ended up on the floor, soccer ball to the head with a sorry laura lee cowering over her. coach martinez yelling had caught your attention as you peered across the field to spot the redhead laying exasperated in her goalie box. you would be lying if you said you hadn't noticed her initially when you first began cheering for the team. her quick hands and strong calves from all the laps coach made them run around the field before practice. you were always the confident type, not shy when it came to boys, your team mates, and getting what you want. but van had a struck a different chord in you, one you were all too familiar with after watching bound with jennifer tilly and gina gershon in theaters that october. while your van halen and backstreet boys posters covered the fore front of your pink room, corky posters were plastered all over your closet. but corky was a character in a movie, you'd never gotten that feeling at the pit of your stomach from a girl in real life, right? well there was that time in eight grade when you and your friend practiced kissing for the winter formal. but that was one time; until now. that feeling in your stomach kicked in every time you got a look at the goalie and it ticked you off. the one time you wanted to put your cherry lip gloss adorned smile to work your nerves got the best of you. it was nearly winter break now and you had only spoken to van in passing during practice and games. your cheeks stung red recalling the night they won states, "maybe you're our lucky charm out there" she had rushed towards you still pumping adrenaline from the win, you cracked a smile in response before she corrected herself, "you and the rest of the girls of course".

now, you lightly jogged (not wanting to look too concerned) towards her and laura lee. "hey, are you ok? i could hear the ball thump against your head from all the way over there." she leaned up, making eye contact with you and chuckling, "are you calling me a hard head?" her teammates looked back at you two as they reset to their positions. "it was me, i really didn't mean to vanessa honestly!" laura lee apologized frantically. "it's alright laura lee, just go back before coach kicks both our asses". you offer van a hand to help her up, "thanks" she huffs out. at the first attempt of standing she wobbles and makes her way back to the ground, "shit i'm dizzy". "alright look l/n, take her to the nurse please. jackie pose as goalie for now." coach directs his attention to two of you as he notices van's state. you widen your eyes at his request as that feeling kicks in again causing your stomach to churn. you hesitantly agree and help van up once more with her arm propped up on your shoulder. "fuck i hate the nurse, misty quigley is always in there with her." you giggle, "i'm guessing misty is the last thing you want to see right now." "when does anyone want to see misty quigley?" you nod in agreement, every encounter with misty is never something you look forward to. "i can take you to the locker room, i have some pain medicine and water in there if you just want to lay down for a second. without the presence of misty quigley of course." "why thank you, that sounds lovely" she says drowsily accompanied by that silly accent she puts on.

you practically drag van to the locker room and sit her down on the bench by your locker. "i think staring at your locker will only make my headache worse" van snickers referring to your locker decorated in bright pink paint and a big hair bow front and center. "hey, don't make fun of my locker. remember who just saved your life!" you pout at her. "sorry, sorry how could i forget. after all you are the teams lucky charm." she proclaims dramatically. "well is my squad the lucky charm or is it just me, cause if i remember correctly..." van lays down against the bench chuckling, "well you're the only one i pay any attention to at least". you pause while rummaging through your locker for some ibuprofen, turning to face the girl. she looks back at you, "what? hey, are you blushing or did you just get a little heavy handed with the powder today?" you bring your hands to your cheeks and feel the warmth against your skin. "i think you have a concussion van." you dismiss her flirty comments and hand her two ibuprofen and an unopened water bottle. "what makes you say that?" her fingers brushing against yours as she takes the pills, you roll your eyes at her sudden boldness. "you rarely speak to me and now you're saying that you pay attention to me?" the silence in the locker room stiff as you hear her swallow. "what can i say, i find it hard to talk to pretty girls." you stifle a giggle "woah you're totally blushing now, you can't deny it man". you turn to face her a smile plastered on your seemingly flushed face. "this is how you thank me for nursing you back to health?" you raise your eyebrows, "well what do you have in mind miss cheer captain?" she sits up leaning on her arms settled behind her. "stop getting hit in the head so that we make it to nationals." "it's kind of hard not to when you're out there in this little skirt," she takes the end of your pleated skirt between her fingers "what else am i supposed to look at?". if your stomach was churning before, it's like a battalion of butterflies at war in there now. "are you hitting on me, palmer?" you look up at her through your lashes. "would that be so terrible?" her face suddenly (nearly) serious. before you can answer, the door to the locker room swings open, all the girls piling in, sweaty and with dirt covered knees. "so what's the diagnosis, y/n, is she doomed?" nat's voice comes creeping around the corner. you get up quickly, shutting your locker and flattening your skirt. "definitely." van's eyes follow you as you leave. when the door shuts behind you, nat and lottie erupt in laughter. "does she know she is the reason for your little concussion?" they come up behind van, teasing her. "i'm injured, leave me alone!" the goalie rests her head against your pink locker and groans as her team mates share a round of "ooo''s amongst themselves.

thank u for reading :> i think van is super underrated and needs more fics, i love her!!! hope u enjoyed!

hello from 06242023 - I finally have the chance to reflect on day two of the Asian American Film Showcase 2023, which focused on ‘generations’ through a series of short films. I will put the full program down below and any related links I can find, but I want to take a moment to highlight three that have stuck with me :

Nǎi Nai & Wài Pó (2022, dir. Sean Wang) - The short film tells the story of the filmmaker’s grandmothers, in-laws that have such an affinity for life. They’re a joy to watch, a goddamn delight. The format in which Sean Wang chose to capture the daily lives of these women suit their quirks and tenacity. I laughed, I cried, I hope to be like them someday.

Dear Corky (2022, dir. Curtis Chin) - Chin informs you at the top of the short film that the intentions of the project started off a little differently, but due to the untimely death of renown photographer and star of the film, Corky Lee, the end result became a phenomenal tribute to Corky and the stories he brought to light. Just when I thought I was going to part with the film with my heart heavy, Chin reached out and pulled me back up. I felt hopeful and inspired by knowing Corky in that small window of time we had.

Lunchbox (2022, dir. Anne Hu) - You know you have the audience in the palm of your hand when you hear the chorus of sniffles during the end credits of this short film. Hu perfectly unravels the story behind each recipe the main character is preparing for her daughter in the present, while recalling her upbringing and turmoil with her own mother. This film reached into the personal corner of my heart and pulled it out of my chest, still beating, exposed to the world. I wish Anne Hu the very best and hope this healed something in her as it did for me.

Missile (2022, dir. Christopher Hwisu Kim) Nǎi Nai & Wài Pó (2022, dir. Sean Wang) In Living Memory (2022, dir. Quyên Nguyen-Le) The Return (2021, dir. Hena Asraf) Dear Corky (2022, dir. Curtis Chin) Lunchbox (2022, dir. Anne Hu) Closing Dynasty (2022, dir. Lloyd Lee Choi)

Lizenz zum Beißen 06: Nein, wie praktisch

Vanda geht Phil aus dem Weg. Phil sieht im Fernsehen, wie Corky, die bitchy Journalistin aus dem ersten Kapitel (deren Brüste natürlich falsch sind), Vandas Club schlechtredet. Beim Pumpen denkt er weiter über Vanda nach und über die wenigen Dinge, die er über ihre Vergangenheit weiß.

Er ruft eine ehemalige Wache des Harems an, Maggie, die sich aus Texas teleportiert und sofort merkt, dass Phil ein Wandler ist. (Weil sie jetzt auf einer Farm lebt und Tiere riechen kann…oder sowas.)

Weil Maggie Vanda schon lange kennt und Phil Psychologie studiert hat (Tierpsychologie. Unterscheidet sich das nicht…?), analysieren sie Vandas Verhalten und ihre Vergangenheit. Offenbar hat sie sich lange schwer damit getan, Blut zu trinken, bevor es synthetisches Blut gab, und sie hat lange gemalt.

„Ja. Jede Nacht. Die ganze Nacht lang.“ Maggie verzog das Gesicht. „Schreckliche Bilder. Überall rote Farbe. Blut, Leichen, Hakenkreuze, Stacheldraht, Wölfe…“ „Wölfe?“

Das natürlich ungut für Terato-Phil hier.

Wo wir gerade schon bei Traumata sind, darf er darüber sinnieren, dass er nie wieder in das Rudel seines Vaters zurückkann.

Praktischerweise weiß Maggie von einer Aufnahme, in der Vanda von ihrer Vergangenheit erzählt – und die DVD liegt sogar hier herum! Zufälle gibt’s. Anyway, Vanda und ihre zwei (!) kleinen Schwestern flohen und versteckten sich in einer Höhle. Frieda ging es schlecht, Marta sollte Wasser holen. Marta kam nicht wieder und als Vanda sie suchen ging, griff Marta – die mittlerweile Vampirin war – sie an. Frieda starb derweil allein. Das war 1939; Vanda kam 1948 nach NY. Ein Teil des Traumas liegt also dazwischen.

Phil und Maggie gehen zum Club, der erstaunlich voll ist.

„Diese schreckliche Corky [die Journalistin] hat allen gesagt, sie sollen nicht mehr herkommen, weil es schändlich und böse ist. […] Und natürlich müssen das alle mit eigenen Augen sehen.“

Hah, I wish.

Dummerweise rutscht Cora Lee vor Vanda heraus, dass Corky den Club schlechtgemacht hat, und Vanda flippt vorhersehbarerweise aus und teleportiert.

MCU Fem!Tony / Natasha Stark cast choice: Winona Ryder (born in 1971)

Lydia Deetz - Beetlejuice (1988) / Ian - Weird Science (1985)

Corky - Night on Earth (1991) / Julian Wells - Less Than Zero (1987)

Veronica Sawyer - Heathers (1989) / Tony Stark - Iron Man (2008)

Lydia Deetz - Beetlejuice (1988) / Tony Stark - Iron Man 3 (2013)

I’m no movie/acting connoisseur and my choice may be due to old movies instead of more recent ones, but Ryder’s roles during her younger days display a certain vibe close to Tony’s. After noticing the similarities, I couldn’t unsee it. Then, I started doing a little bit (actually A LOT) of searching on internet and found some interesting things which had fortified my opinion on my casting choice.

She had played in movies with MCU actors and actresses. To name those she would have appeared with during scenes:

Chris Evans - The Iceman (2012)

Chris Hemsworth - Star Trek (2009)

Sebastian Stan - Black Swan (2010) (along with Natalie Portman)

Micheal Keaton - Beetlejuice (1988)

Leslie Bib - Sex and Death (2007)

Frank Grillo - Homefront (2013)

Tim Guinee - How to Make an American Quilt (1995), The Private Lives of Pippa Lee (2009)

Aaron Himelstein - The Informers (2009)

She was cast in two movies with RDJ: 1969 (1988) (playing as siblings at that!) and A Scanner Darkly (2006). To my surprise, she also had a scandal which made her unable to be hired for a few years (notably Melinda and Melinda (2003) which would have been the third time she would have co-starred with RDJ).

She is known for her petite stature and her big eyes, traits that are exaggerated in Stevetony fanfics (as far as I know).

Jo March (Little Women, 1994) and Corky (Night on Earth, 1991), because they are played by Ryder, are beautiful women. The former got the attention of a suitor and the latter the prospect of being a movie star, but both reject their respective offer, because it’s not what they desire. Jo March wants to write for a living and Corky to be a mechanic (see a similarity? 😏).

The titular character of Edward Scissorhands (1990), whose love interest, Kim Boggs, is played by Ryder, is like Tony: had a good fatherly figure till said person’s death, leaving him alone for years; caring and capable of creating beautiful things, but their hands can also hurt and that’s the reason people see them as dangerous. Kim, after sharing a farewell kiss with Edward, lives long enough to grow old and have a granddaughter to whom she tells a story about him. Doesn’t it have Peggy vibes?

Ryder had experience in sci-fi movies (Alien Ressurection, A Scanner Darkly) and playing characters with mental issues (Girl, Interrupted, Black Swan, Stranger Things).

Her Joyce Byers from Stranger Things (2016-) is a single mother determined to find and save her missing son through any mean necessary even if it makes her appear crazy. She’s also a mother figure for another child in the show. For fans who love Irondad, here’s Ironmom.

There’s also the irony of playing a futurist when some of her characters were from period dramas (e.g.: Bram Stocker’s Dracula, Little Women, The Crucible)

So? What do you think?
