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.
It depends on if they can take what they dish out! Some goats operate on an assumption that others want basically the same thing as them, and their maladaptive techniques actually work very well when used back against them. Others assume that they're fundamentally different from others, for reasons either cruel or kind, and as a result don't want to be interacted with in the same way they talk to others.

The reason for yawning is to signal to others that you're ready to sleep and when there are enough people yawning the assumption is everyone is safe and yeah we could just sleep now and save some energy. That's why it's "contagious". It's a quick way of polling the group; not also yawning means you feel unsafe enough to override your yawn reflex.
