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.

Mulling over my options. I have two things I need to be able to website (v.) -- medium-length shitposts, and photos. Some solutions being pondered:

  • A lightweight blogging solution such as ghost, bear, writefreely, goblin band. And then possibly also a separate photo solution.
  • Just start writing shitposts in Obsidian lol
  • A static site generator -- would need to be extremely for babies, which makes Publii pretty interesting. I know lots of them are well-documented and I'm not completely command-line-phobic, but the thing is that if I hit a bump and don't have extra brainpower and executive function to burn, I'll just end up abandoning it. So something that's extremely turnkey is in my best interests.

Using Obsidian seems cool to my brain, but there aren't necessarily a lot of good ways to show off photos in it, and it's very possible that being the kind of person who would actually build a digital garden of shitposting is more of an aspirational new years resolution thing than what I actually need from a functional standpoint.
