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.

Do you know "Bandcamp Friday"? On the first friday of the month intermittently (closest thing to a schedule is this website) Bandcamp does an event where their "cut" of music sales goes to 0%. All money goes to the artist (except the cut for the the credit card company) (and except the cut for the label) (except also some labels, like Sargent House, set their cut to 0% on Bandcamp Fridays also?).

Whatever, TLDR buy music on Bandcamp Friday, the artist gets more money. I like this so I spent three years making a thread of Bandcamp music recommendations on a now-dead website, and now I'm moving it here. It is long.

Despite earlier worries, the new owners of Bandcamp— though they HAVE fired the entire employee union bargaining unit— are still, for now, holding Bandcamp Friday.

This is great because it means if you do it TODAY, you can buy music without supporting the union busters. Expand the post above for a list of 100+ Bandcamp album recommendations I've been writing since 2020.

"Over 100 recommendations is too many. I want 1 recommendation"

Okay, listen to this song
