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.

in reply to @catball's post:
When I read Redwall I didn’t realize they were so tiny even compared to the mice
similarly, I forget how small mice are compared to rats! then when I see mice I'm just like "oh, a tiny round baby, wow"
I always assumed the critters were size averaged with each other, because none of their interactions implied such huge differences. With the exception of Badgers being big enough to pull wagons.
After the first book where there was a horse(!?) and all the rats arrived in a big hay cart, I think Jacques very consciously chose to never try and nail down the size of anything compared to anything else.
Yeah, it's a whole sequence at the start where the rats are in the hay cart, and one of them tries to bite the horse to make it run faster, but winds up falling under a wheel. The whole thing implies that the rats are rat-sized, and it's a weird anomaly in the books.
