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.

the loudest people in the room are absolutely the ones who just want the twitter of yesteryear back and think that if they just make enough posts saying to block the right wing trolls it'll go better this time
I've seen way too many posts announcing that it's open like that's a good thing. I don't understand it, why people think they could need twitter 2 and it can't even handle a dm function.
Hey. BlueSky is not worse than Twitter.
On BlueSky, you get a toggle so you can only see a little racism instead of a lot.
