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.

I didn't know what to do with this prompt for a while. Despite watching and enjoying many cartoons, many with different animals, I didn't really know what to say about any of it. The first thing that would come to mind was a vague mental picture of a red cartoon guy that
I was pretty sure was from Cow & Chicken.

So tonight, because I really do want to finish Microblogvember and this was getting in the way, I figured what the heck, let me just look that series up and see if I can come up with something to say. Whereupon I remembered/discovered 3 things in quick succession:

  1. The red cartoon guy was actually called The Red Guy.

  2. Cow & Chicken used to be followed by I. M. Weasel, which got its own spin-off.

  3. I. M. Weasel was voiced by Michael Dorn, aka Star Trek DS9 and TNG's own Worf Moghson, and he voiced this at the same time he was in DS9, which was the same time I would also have been watching I.M. Weasel, and I never figured it out.

🤯 mind blown. (Or at the very least, microblog accomplished 😂)



P.S. by the way, did any of y'all ever watch this movie called Animalympics? It's got nothing to do with any of this other than also involving cartoon animals. It came to mind while I was writing this post but I'd already had the Dornvelation and that was more important to write about imo
