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.

Check out this cool antique globe I found in my uncle's attic. Anyone know who the manufacturer is? #myfirstglobe

March
Looking for advice: what's a good desk-globe for beginners that's affordable but still turns smoothly? #GlobeEnthusiast

May
Wow, I made the jump to a full-swing meridian mount and y'all weren't kidding, this thing feels amazing to spin. I can barely keep my hands off it. #FrictionlessRevolution

August
Which has a higher RPM ceiling, an Edmonton 4500 (w/ the walnut standing-cradle), or the new Earheart Meticulous XL? Assuming I replace the stock bearings and grease regularly obviously. #WorldTurnt

October
I mean ultimately the problem with topographic globes is you're always gonna be sacrificing some speed for accuracy right. It doesn't matter how well calibrated the electromagnets in your hovermount are; any amount of raised relief throws off your center of mass. #smooth

December
Guys I think we need to level the Himalayas
