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.

The workers at Oregon Public Broadcasting and its fellow station KMHD Jazz Radio 89.1 have opted to unionize! Earlier this week approximately 80% of the staff across both signed onto a petition announcing the formation of a union and demanding voluntary recognition from OPB leadership. This union would likely cover over 200 people, and reportedly would include "on-air staff, hosts, reporters[,] and digital audio and video producers"

Interestingly, they have not chosen to unionize with Newsguild (and therefore CWA) as most publications and journalistic outfits tend to. Instead, if recognized (or if they win their election), they'll be joining SAG-AFTRA, who put out a press release supporting the union shortly after its announcement.

As of writing, OPB leadership has not publicly committed to recognizing or not recognizing the union, but such a commitment should be forthcoming,
