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.

Eurovision
@Eurovision

The Israeli broadcaster KAN had a shortlist of two songs, October Rain and Dance Forever, and chose October Rain. Now, the Israeli news site Ynet is reporting that Dance Forever has also been rejected by the European Broadcasting Union.

Gosh it’s almost like the inclusion of Israel in Eurovision despite their violation of international laws legitimizes them in the international community and there’s no way to allow their participation without it being used politically to support the genocide of Gaza

ah yeah people i know in eurofandom thought this was the likely outcome after the first song was rejected, a softer way to ban them without officially banning them. the EBU is clearly well aware what a shambles it will be in if israel is in the competition, i just wish they'd had the spine to take a stand from the start
