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.

There's a long-standing gap in medical knowledge about what happens if you give someone "too much" vaccine– basically, nobody actually knows if that's even a thing, let alone what it would look like, because there's no ethical way to find out. This has been true pretty much since vaccines were invented. And I'm giving you that context because I want you to appreciate that a tremendous number of scientists and doctors wish they had that knowledge, if only there was some way to get it without turbo super ultra ethics violations.

Hey remember how when the COVID vaccine first came out and various powers told people to go get it, a black market sprung up wherein antivaxxers would pay to get out of shots, sometimes via simple document forgery... but sometimes via a stand-in getting the shot in their name?

Prosecution in Germany found a guy who, in over the course of 29 months, got 217 COVID vaccinations. (That's an average of 7.48 vaccinations per month.) When he got caught he volunteered for medical scientists to inspect him. The study has been published. tl;dr he's fine. Science emphatically does NOT recommend that you do this... but detectable anti-spike IgG in his saliva aside there's otherwise nothing of note, he's fine.

it sucks, we're still trying to contact discord and get it fixed. but i wanted to take a second to point out how it happened, because the method they used was a lot more advanced than what i've seen before.

My mom was shot and everything feels very weird and uncertain right now. My dad is disabled and can't work, I'm out of work to be with my mom, and I have no idea when or even if my mom will be able to return to work. I don't even know if I'll ever see her walk again.

Anything you can do to help us means more than you could ever know.

I'm so bad at updating things because I suck at words plus I've been prepping for Colorado as much as possible lol

But seriously thank you for any kind words, shares, and donations. It means so much to us and it's helping my mom find even just a little peace of mind in the hardest moment of her life.

Thank you again
