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.

This interview with icon Erika Alexander—who is still out here doing great things and looking great in the process—doesn't focus entirely on LS but it does mention it in part.

In terms of personal impact, I didn't end up in law or anything like it but growing up with Maxine Shaw as a role model absolutely helped shape some of the parts of myself that I love the most. She reinforced the idea that I don't have to tone down who I am in order to be who I want to be, to still be taken seriously, to still take care of my friends, to still do important things to help out in the world—and of course, to still be desired by some FINE men (I know I know Kyle's opinions were booty, but that man!! that voice!! the not-healthy-in-real-life-but-extremely-hot-in-fiction repartee they had!!* 🤩)

*look I know I shouldn't need to explain any of this but Twitterbrain still has me in its clutches
