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.

BreezeWiki is an alternative frontend for any Fandom/Wikia wiki that removes ads and all the other clutter the accursed SEO beast adds to its wikis. so if you're searching or need to link a wiki page, a good process might be:

  • first see if there are any non-fandom wikis with the info you're looking for - some wikis have formed alliances and taken an explicitly anti-fandom stance since the company's recent acquisitions.
  • if you can only find results on a fandom wiki, search for it on breezewiki and link that.

here's an example of a typical breezewiki page - so nice and clean! like the web from 20 years ago! the only thing missing is a firefox addon that auto-redirects any clicked link to its breezewiki equivalent.

thanks for spreading word. i only got turned on to this a few weeks ago (felt like i was slacking!) and it's so good.

the userscript's been going well except for one time breeze was down. had to disable it for a bit then.

There actually is an addon for that! It's called Indie Wiki Buddy and it actually does something even better than just redirecting to Breezewiki. It has a whitelist of known independently run wikis it will check first before falling back to Breezewiki.

For example: Trying to access doom.fandom.com will redirect you to doomwiki.org instead.

If I don't use my browser's Bookmark feature, saving them to a "Cohost" folder, I like to click "Share" and just save it to drafts, so they're in one spot for either: Sharing in the future or Referencing.
