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.

All universities in Gaza have been damaged or destroyed.
As of February 2024, Librarians and Archivists with Palestine has confirmed destruction of the following four libraries:
• Islamic University of Gaza Library (Gaza
City). Destroyed, 10/9/23
• Al-Israa University Library and National Museum (near Gaza City) Destroyed, 1/18/24
• Al-Quds Open University Library (Gaza
City). Damaged, first reported 12/6/23
• Jawaharlal Nehru Library, Al-Azhar
University (Gaza City). Destroyed, 10/19/23
As university libraries, libraries, archives, and museums across Gaza have been intensively damaged or destroyed by Israeli forces, it is more essential than ever to uplift the Palestinian narrative, and resist the ongoing attempts to erase, deny or misrepresent Palestinian culture and history.
"Knowledge is Israel's worst enemy.
Awareness is Israel's most hated and feared foe. That's why Israel bombs a university; it wants to kill openness and determination to refuse living under injustice and racism."
— Refaat Alareer
