What One Actor’s Career Tells Us About Asian Representation in Hollywood - The New York Times

Here’s the sign-up.)Growing up, he seemed to be everywhere.Glowering as a stern Japanese military aide in “Pearl Harbor,” yelling at Carrie Bradshaw to pay for flowers as a Korean vendor on a New York City street, whispering menacing commands as a Chinese mob boss in “Home Alone 3.”And each time my mom saw him, she would say the same thing: “Hey, there’s Jimmy!”She went to grade school with that actor, James Saito, in South Los Angeles. Both are Japanese-American and they ran in overlapping social circles.Over the years, my mom has kept an eye out for her classmate, as if she’s playing some decades-long game of “Where’s East Asian Waldo?”That, more than any think piece or spirited Twitter thread, has crystallized for me what it means when people talk about Asian invisibility: Mr. Saito’s presence in such a diverse range of movies and TV shows underscored the scarcity of other Asian men on screen.Recently, I spotted Mr. Saito myself. He was stealing scenes as the laid-back, goofy father of Randall Park’s character in the Netflix romantic comedy “Always Be My Maybe.”This role was different.

She said her husband jokingly told her she could not grow any more flowers until she took part of her bounty to a local florist to see if they would be interesting in purchasing some of her blossoms.A market-style bouquet of flowers grown and arranged by local flower grower Joanna Webb. / Photo courtesy Joanna Webb“I had always kicked around the idea of selling flowers to local florists,” Webb said. “So, I took some of my dahlias to Anita’s Flowers of Buckhannon, and they told me they would love to buy local flowers.”She said she learned on the fly about growing flowers and started growing ones she found most beautiful.“I like the market bouquet-style of flowers,” Webb said. “With COVID coming in when most of the flowers were blooming, most of the florists were closed, and I had all of these flowers,... https://www.mybuckhannon.com/business-at-local-flower-grower-three-little-buds-is-blooming/

Tulip Fest had to be canceled, but Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm finds new life for flowers - OregonLive

Family members set up a farm stand, sold a few flowers, and figured they’d be forced to let the rest rot.The family then received an email from a West Virginia nursery owner who had an idea and wanted to pass it along to nurseries across the country. The idea: Take flowers in the fields to assisted living centers where residents were living in isolation.Emily Iverson, 21, a family member and Wooden Shoe’s social media coordinator, teamed up with Lexie Criscola, 22, the tulip farm’s marketing coordinator, to make it happen.They created a ticket order on the farm’s web page where, for $15, people could pay for a pot of tulips to be delivered anonymously to an assisted living center.So far, the farm has delivered 6,000 pots of tulips to assisted living centers in Mount Angel, Molalla, Canby, Albany and Eugene.“The farm will never see back the lost revenue from the festival,” said Iverson. “The $15 covers just a bit of the costs it takes to do this delivery. But this is not about money, this is about goodwill.”Criscola said a person can request tulips be delivered to a specific assisted living center or let farm officials figure out where the tulips would bring a bit of joy.“We reach out to a center and figure out the protocol for a delivery,” she said. “We make sure everyone in the center gets a pot. We deliver them to the front door, and then step back.”Iverson estimates all the tulips will be given away within the next couple weeks.“It makes us feel like we are doing something for the community,” she said.[embedded content]-... https://www.oregonlive.com/hg/2020/03/tulip-fest-had-to-be-canceled-but-wooden-shoe-tulip-farm-finds-new-life-for-flowers.html

Feed the soul: In chaotic times, gardening becomes therapy - Sentinel & Enterprise

The virus scare could even usher in a new crop of gardeners who start from seed rather than risk the crowds buying starter plants.Kendra Schilling of Scott Depot, West Virginia, doesn’t have space for a sprawling garden, so she’s planting potatoes in a bucket and trying to figure out with her teenage daughter what to do with other vegetable seeds.“I usually go buy the plants and stick them in the dirt. But this year we’re going to try to do the seeds,” she says. “Thank God for YouTube.”___Associated Press writer Frank Jordans in Berlin contributed to this report. https://www.sentinelandenterprise.com/2020/03/31/feed-the-soul-in-chaotic-times-gardening-becomes-therapy/
