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.

So apparently a defender of the creepy pillowfort weirdo is now claiming that people who find that person creepy and a weirdo are white, when what I specifically have seen is Black people who were on the list of links specifically saying "this is gross and I don't like this" and other Black and non-white people saying "same." Until I learned he was doing this, that "defender" followed me (we weren't mutuals and he's blocked now), and I was sharing posts from Black and other non-white people who had been affected. He had even liked and shared some of them, yet he's still defending the creepy weirdo (who I believe is white, but if I'm wrong I will correct) over actual Black and other non-white voices and claiming all the detractors are white.

So when you see that person running around yelling "you're the REAL racists for silencing (calling names) the one who is making non-white people uncomfortable", just know that he is not operating in good faith and in fact is probably a lot closer to the block evader than we know.

Edit: I had the username up here earlier but deleted it. I might put it back, idk.
