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.

people who want to act fundementally selfishly have spent a lot of time and ink trying to convince other people that actually everyone wants to act like this, its human nature, because, Prisoners Dilemma-like, that view of humanity as selfish justifies their own impulses towards selfishness. European colonial powers are at the top of this list.

its a tautalogical solipsism:

  • i want to do things that will benefit me and hurt other people
  • morally this is pretty obviously bad
  • everyone else obviously thinks the same way i do, though
  • so they are morally bad
  • so its justified and not morally bad for me to hurt them for my own benefit
    a fucking oroboros of narcissism. ok im done now
