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.

in reply to @cat-and-girl's post:

through more and more 'advancement', things devance in a direction

as it is now, all i may hope [and offer what help i may give, allbeit likely only individually some help is better than none]

your art holds so much, gives such a fine line between the '''real' view'' and ''minds view''; if it is to mean any thing, my good friend, your willingness to share despite such a issue of AI training, i applaud you severily

thank you; someday, sooner or later, perhaps things will be bettter; yet to get there every small thing will mean so much

a small time path is quiet in the inoffensive way
we will never hear the stories of all those who took it, by its very nature

it's isolating. small. outshouted by the loud and big
but behind a web of infrastructure, there's plenty more who can take it upon themselves to decide
the small path is the right one for them

and here in our little bubbles we have our little stories with our little friends
that's the world that matters more to me

thank you. for being who you are

The second-greatest love affair of my life relied on a steady stream of Cat and Girl quotes. We are still friends; I can still get them giggling just by saying "Cheesequake." I love Cat and Girl and am so glad the waves of Internet enshittification have blown me here. Take it from someone who married an artist who chose the small time over working on a big studio cartoon -- and probably saved her life that way. Your work matters. Tell me a product you make and I will purchase it with money pending my own poverty and catastrophic ADHD. <3

In the mean time... would you like to smash the state with us?
