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.

Cohost reminds me a lot of LiveJournal in mostly nice ways, but I very do wish there was a better way to follow not just more people in terms of quantity, but in terms of curating a feed of voices I want to hear. I understand not showing peoples' following lists for privacy reasons, but it's definitely a convenience it's taking me time to get used to going without here ^^; Also, while I know my posts will be seen by people who follow me (unlike on Twitter), and I appreciate people for following me whether or not they were already doing so on Twitter, let's just say…while the actual number of eyeballs/e-readers on my words here is probably the same as on Twitter, the potential is a lot lower.

If you know me, you know I am very anti the "grow no matter what, all numbers are good numbers" mentality. That said, only having a few people that I follow/who follow me, makes me worry that people I interact with here will think I'm being obsessive, if that makes sense? ^^; I don't mean to be, so please tell me if I'm making anyone uncomfortable!
