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.

it's awesome that every single american city just is Gotham, but instead of the things you'd say in a Batman story about like, oh the city council answers to the Gangs, the Gangs can just shake down city bus drivers &c for not showing proper respect, we have to cut social services cause our corrupt mayor keeps funneling all the city's money to the Gangs, better hope the Gangs don't decide your club is a little too queer, the Gangs act with total impunity, we need the Batman to beat the shit out of the Gangs... you just take all those statements and replace "the Gangs" with "the Cops", and that's it, that's every major american metropolis.

And in the rare case Batman tries to do something about it, The Gangs (or maybe the mob boss in charge of all The Gangs [a sufficiently powerful corporate figure]) just fucking kill Batman and get off with a warning. See: Boeing, the Panama Papers, I guess Jeffrey Epstein (it feels weird including him when he's both Batman and the Mob Boss).
