Kenny Oiwa Riches directs and stars in “Mouse,” about a brooding misanthrope targeted by catfishers
Unlike the antihero protagonist in his movie, “Mouse,” director Kenny Oiwa Riches is gregarious and as transparent as glass. Where his principle character, Denny, is a brooding misanthrope, Riches is amicable and energetic. Surprisingly, his well-crafted script with its themes of darkness does not reflect his sociable personality at all. In contrast, Riches’ character, Denny, is a […] The post Kenny Oiwa Riches directs and stars in “Mouse,” about a brooding misanthrope targeted by catfishers appeared first on International Examiner.

My maternal grandfather, his resilience and life well-lived
My grandfather arrived in America in 1982 with only 60 dollars in his pocket, as he would often tell others—yet he was able to bring all my family members to America after settling down. Born in an intellectually engaged family, he saw the downsides of China at a very young age. He decided that if ten people […] The post My maternal grandfather, his resilience and life well-lived appeared first on International Examiner.

Afghan immigrants, refugees grapple with changes in social services, federal policies
In 2021, a federal resettlement directive brought more than 1,000 Afghan refugees and immigrants to Washington state, making it one of the top five states to take in people from Afghanistan. The Office of Refugee and Immigrant Assistance partners with community-based organizations in Washington state to help in resettlement. ORIA support, however, comes with a five year expiration date, meaning […] The post Afghan immigrants, refugees grapple with changes in social services, federal policies appeared first on International Examiner.

“Becoming Human” follows the unexpected friendship between a journalist and the spirit guardian of an abandoned movie theater
The afterlife can be quite lonely. In Polen Ly’s “Becoming Human” (2025), Thida, the resident spirit guardian of an abandoned movie theatre, watches the world move on around her after her death over 50 years ago. She spends her days wandering the grounds, people-watching from her perch in the balconies, and eating the occasional offerings left at […] The post “Becoming Human” follows the unexpected friendship between a journalist and the spirit guardian of an abandoned movie theater appeared first on International Examiner.

The Lady Rainier Statue Is Seattle’s Queen of Public Transportation
Though hidden, the Lady Rainier statue is easy to find. She is right next to the northernmost building of the Old Rainier Brewery complex on Airport Way. A few steps from a parking lot lead you to her feet, which are planted on an orb. Her toes, particularly on the left foot, are the stuff […] The post The Lady Rainier Statue Is Seattle’s Queen of Public Transportation appeared first on The Stranger.

How Fear Becomes Policy
There is a moment, after the sirens fade and before the cameras arrive, when grief is still allowed to be grief. But this fragile window is gone much too soon. Because in this country, and in this city, grief is rarely permitted to remain untouched. It is quickly conscripted into the familiar machinery that tells […] The post How Fear Becomes Policy appeared first on The Stranger.

Jibz Cameron Becomes Dynasty Handbag
The clearest way to explain Dynasty Handbag’s act might be to quote the artist herself. “I am not a wretched performance artist, or merely a comedian, or the ghastly clown, or simply an actor,” Jibz Cameron writes in her new memoir, Hell in a Handbag. “I perform as this alter ego. I do songs sorta and stand-up […] The post Jibz Cameron Becomes Dynasty Handbag appeared first on The Stranger.

A DJ Isn’t a Mirror
Even though I’ve heard his voice on the air since I was a child, KEXP DJ Kevin Cole has done almost too good a job at championing artists and public radio, because I knew nothing about his own legacy before watching his documentary.
