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 get really prickly when it comes to any dieting/food related stuff when it comes to one's health and well-being (since I struggled/still struggle with disordered eating thanks to years of reading up on stupid ass dieting "tips" from magazines and people on the internet)

My most hated type of "content" from weird fitness/dieting weirdos is whenever they like, take a can of coke and start boiling and reducing it down and then go "You would put THIS into your body????"

You literally just burnt it. Right in front of my eyes?? Are you telling me vegetables wouldn't burn either at max heat on a stove top??? How does this get anyone??? *

*I know how it gets people, it purposely makes people feel guilty about food and it's really shitty UGH

This is tangentially related to my pet peeve of non-sense comparisons, like putting a nail or piece of clothing in a glass of coke and letting it corrode, then ask "if it does this to metal, imagine what it does to your insides?"

broseph, wait until you hear what water does to metal. Turns out biology isn't like a Pokémon game where hard wins against soft, different compositions have different properties.
