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.

"You can't just tag your upload with #viral, you illiterate gimboid. That's like walking into the Ritz with a t-shirt you've written 'FAMUS' on and expecting to be seated, and instead acting surprised when they give you a truncheon enema and a face full of pavement after a brief flight through an open door where the countdown starts with 'Heave ho.'"

"I've got a plan, y'know. I'm gonna post to Twitter and Tiktok and get rechosts, man! And I know that's not how you spell famous, Rimmer. If I'm gonna get into the Ritz I'll make sure and do it proper, like. Leave enough room at the start for the PH, awright?"

in reply to @jaidamack's post:

I did like the couple of early episodes where they pursued the idea that he isn't a bad person, he's just horribly broken... but of course sitcom dictates require that the status quo be restored at the end of each episode, so the idea that he might develop as a character was an awful tease. [edit: I'm thinking about this now, the way they restored the status quo was by having Lister be a shit, which is itself interesting as a character beat but still comes off as a contrivance.] (I don't consider Rimmer's character shift in later seasons to be development so much as laziness.)
