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.

Operation Olive Branch - if you can afford to donate this is a list of vetted Gofundmes for families trying to escape through the Rafah crossing. It takes thousands of dollars per person. You can find their organizing info on Tiktok
Buy Insulin - Diabetic Palestinians are struggling to get insulin into Palestine, if you're able to donate please consider it!
Further Resources to educate, donate, and keep up on news
Find your members of congress - Email, call, send physical letters demanding a ceasefire. the 5 Calls App is a great resource, it can give you the numbers to call for all their offices as well as scripts for what you're calling about.
Find a Protest near you another protest resource - And please, please if you are going to an in person event wear a well fitted NIOSH certified mask! covid is very much still raging, but even if you're not worried about that, consider it as protection from surveillance cameras because I promise you those are watching and collecting peoples faces.
Click button daily to send money to the UNWRA - This costs nothing to do and if you use multiple browsers/devices you can click more than once a day
Free Graphics - created for people to use as they see fit

Remember that "Don't look away" looks like many things and doesn't mean you must consume footage of the genocide day in an day out. If that's going to throw you into a spiral don't watch it. But do keep harassing your elected officials, keep sharing information, educate yourself, donate if your can. No action insignificant.
No matter how big or small your actions during this time, you are making an impact, your voice matters and it does make a difference. Keep going, don't lose hope, and don't stop talking about Palestine.
