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 themβ€”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.

a few years back my friend dee and i had this long-running joke where we would pick a random simpsons character and pitch a three-act story about how they start running the springfield power plant, with the end goal being to have an entire season's worth of episodes all about new characters becoming the boss of the power plant. principal skinner runs the power plant. comic book guy runs the power plant. comic book guy's wife runs the power plant. i think those three were honestly as far as we got.

but, eventually, saying that someone "runs the power plant" became shorthand for any time anybody unexpectedly achieves any sort of power or status in anything. we'd watch a ninja turtles thing and go "NOW SHREDDER RUNS THE POWER PLANT" when he eats the super shredder juice, that kind of thing.

this is so esoteric but im also constantly wanting to say "NOW (x) RUNS THE POWER PLANT" all the time even though no one else will ever understand what that means.
