I'm a Vietnamese cis woman born and currently living in the U.S. You may know me from Sandwich, from Twitter or Mastodon (same username), or on Twitch as Sharkaeopteryx. I do not have a Discord or Bluesky account.

Ask me about language learning/teaching, cooking/eating food, late diagnosis ADHD, and volunteer small business mentoring. Or don't, I'm not the boss of you.


I think people deserve to be young, make mistakes, and grow without being held to standards they don't know about yet and are still learning. So, if you are under 22, please don't try to strike up a friendship or get involved in discussions on my posts.


Please don't automatically assume I follow/know/co-sign someone just because I reposted something from them—sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Also, if you think being removed as a follower when we're not mutuals is a cardinal sin, please do not follow me.

A thing I've noticed recently is that as much as I love talking about myself and telling stories about my life (I love these things), I've been having trouble doing it online, particularly in long-form ways. Over voice is fine (whether online or offline), but for some reason I seem to be hitting a block when I try to type it. I think for some reason, the lack of being able to gauge how the conversation is sitting in real-time is making me really reluctant to just…say things, moreso than it has in the past.

Then too, I just had to adjust how I say things in text 2 years ago when I started coming around places in Twitch and Twitter, where being able to read and get the gist of what you're saying quickly is a benefit to all involved. So maybe it's that, too.

anyway, all this is to say, please use my ask box! it's ok to be anonymous or to ask me to respond to you in a non-public format, I just would like to get back in the practice of talking about myself via text again.
