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.

yous, huge and plentiful ones, to @NoelBWrites for posting the prompt list. I have never completed a November-based daily challenge that took this much effort before, and I'm not sure I've completed a monthly challenge in anything that took this much effort in a very long time (if ever) either. As somebody who struggles with habits, consistency, and persistence after breaking a habit, I feel really really good about this!

Definite thanks to the people who shared this, without whom I would never have known to try this.

And HUGE thanks to the people who saw, liked, or shared my microblogvember posts. I wrote a lot more stuff I was pleased with than stuff I wasn't particularly proud of, and it means a lot when people like the things I'm proud of.

I wrote 3 microfiction pieces (2 of which were basically shitposts) and I think…5 poems? 3 of which I'm actually pretty proud of! I used to love poetry but I stopped writing it for a Very Long Time (like close to 10 years) due to Reasons I can share separately but are irrelevant to this post, so this is huge for me, and I hope to continue even if it's not so prolifically.

And again—thank you.
