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 themโsometimes 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.
you write the date in the white space and it haunts you
edit: OH. YOU LIKE THIS ONE HUH OK. i'll fast track these, this post will update with the shop link when they're available
edit 2: okay they're up on etsy!!
THEY ARE REAL NOW!! you can get them as a sticker (very appropriate for PC towers) or as a card with a hole that just so happens to hang perfectly off a standard-size thumb tack.
these are so good, theyโd go so well with the notifications on my laptop telling me that itโs been 150+ days since i backed up to my external harddrive ๐
i don't have the right kind of machines to make rolls (yet) (gosh i wish i did... i'd be so powerful) but i made them real today ๐ https://www.etsy.com/listing/1681626023/
is there a possibility you'll make the "is that... good?" one in red? I like that phrase better but also my favorite color is red
i kept it to just these variants for simplicity's sake, BUT if you want to arrange a custom order and don't mind waiting a little while (like a week or two) for my next print-and-cut day, i could do a custom order through Etsy or Ko-Fi. send me a message in either of those places if you wanna do that. it wouldn't be more than a few minutes of extra work tbh, it's just having a ton of variants complicates things on the stock end LOL
The most haunting part if I used these would be that they would remain blank as I never manage a full backup and only a "rolling backup" of the oldest files at any given time ๐ This is an amazing idea however. An attempt to better ones habits while causing psychic damage โค๏ธ
hey, partial backups periodically is still SOMETHING. ;D sometimes all i manage is Just The Most Important Stuff and it's fiiiiine. and yeah i'm trying to make myself as fastidious about backups as i am about saving when drawing LMAOOOO (somehow i got really good at that despite the ADHD)
