A digital, pencil-style drawing of Lou, a skinny wasian cowgirl with a black bob and cyan skin, falls throughout an oversized queen of hearts card. She is wearing a dingy green bra, red cowboy boots, and an embarrassed expression.

Spent an hour on and off with Spotify online support just trying to find out where to file feedback re: ICE ads. After asking what the feedback was, all four reps ended the chat immediately when I mentioned ICE. This has to be direction from above. Save your time and just cancel now.

I’ve been teaching a lab with a simple chi-squared test all last week, and I feel like I’ve gotten much better at explaining it in a clear and concise way myself as well!

LLM AI exists to crush labour. That's not even my surmise, the people paying billions of dollars to fund this stuff are extremely open and explicit that this is their goal.

There are no ethical use cases for LLMs at this point in time. Maybe when the bubble has popped thoroughly. Not before.

It's Lesbian Visibility Week. Would you like to get into some unique, mostly free, sometimes erotic lesbian art and fiction hand-made for you by a japanese-american butchfemme lesbian?
#lesbianvisibilityweek #art

a cartoony digital drawing of me in a hard hat and high-visibility vest. the text says: it's lesbian visibility week!!

I’m katie Aki, a femme lesbian artist and writer. My work focuses on a non-dystopian post-apocalyptic, lesbian-centric society that is structured around the worship of the nblw married gods of life and death. I’m mixed-race sansei & a married butchfemme lesbian, both things strongly inform my work.

I’ve been working in the world of this work for nearly ten years now, so there is a ton of rich world- building, but tbh it’s still fun and approachable!

a collage of drawings of my various characters, a bunch of blue lesbians, some in color, some in black and white. The text says "here are the gods (they are married)." The Listening Lady is labeled with her name and her title (the god of life and sorrow) and an arrow pointing to her that says "lesbian". Johnny Knives is also labeled with their name and their title (god of death and justice). Below are drawings of Hero, Frances, and Nuisance. they're labeled "Here are some of their shrinemaidens and disciples (they're lesbians)"

a collage of my Pony Express drawings, some more finished than others. More blue lesbians in various situations, with more of a western vibe.

the text says: Most of my work for the last couple of years has been on am interactive lesbian serial western about an illiterate cowgirl mailman and a cannibal wolfgirl religious assassin. It’s a BIG story (already 350k words) full of the most pathetic lesbian loser content you can imagine. Classic lesbian yearning, yes, but also field surgery, mutually masturbation/pathetic jackoffs, gas leak psychic genius nun threesome, visions from gods, love triangles, and road trip vibes. It’s free to read on my patreon!

a collage of a few photos of some lesbian-themed stickers under text that says "additionally, I make some lesbian interest stickers and postcards". another cartoon drawing of me in high-viz bows and says "thank you for your time and attention" in the bottom corner.

I am trying to get my (almost 70yo) dad transferred over to a cheaper Xbox game pass plan so he can play Crossout without also paying $30/mo

“sweet pea, your father grinded for those in-game weapon skins”

Text bubble from my mom that reads: “Any chances of interruption of service? He doesn't want to lose all his accumulated weapons.”

very proud of this. to me, this is the pinnacle of masculinity (I Protect Wife from Vacuum Cleaner)

Katie Aki ✶ @katieaki.bsky.social · 16d

because of the sheltering love of my dear angel butch husband, I am so separated from the mere CONCEPT of cleaning that I just said “I’m gonna use the vacuum”, referring to the food saver & did not understand for a long moment why they were shocked and confused

#art

A digital drawing with fairly flat, textured colors in a limited palette of pink, red, yellow, and cyan. A curvy cowgirl in super short shorts looks over her shoulder at the viewer as she stands before the coffin-shaped white gate to heaven. It’s locked with heavy chains and two little naked kewpie cherubs yell at her “No fucking way”, “get lost sister”, and “god said no. She holds a dead copperhead behind her back. Two imps flying overhead tell her “that’s okay” and “we’ll take you.”
