Yesterday, my boss got a fortune in her fortune cookie that said “be respectful of other people’s dietary restrictions”. It is sooo funny to me. I should have asked her to keep it.

REAL Katie Aki fans will remember that I accidentally printed the sketch for the Listening Lady drawing in that panel EXTREMELY large at the Japanese Kinkos

And then here are some of the originals for the traditional comic I did, which was also just done nearly completely in cafes and the park. I had a water brush with ink in it & some brush markers.

somebody around here is adding to their collection of @katieaki.bsky.social handmade omamori which makes me basically undefeatable and YOU guys are sooooo jealous. also my fortune told me i’m going to rule the world so watch out for that

packing up & I found some original TLL & JK sketches that we haven’t seen for a while. These were all done at my awful job w my abusive stalker boss, where I had no time to go home, but I wasn’t allowed to stay at the school, so I would just go to cafes or the park and draw for hours every day

Oops, forgot to say that stickers are 30% off in my shop with code MOVING !!

We're gearing up for our big move! Money is already tight (for us, and everyone, I know), and I'll be without a job & bleeding out the nose with moving expenses. IF you want to buy some of my stuff, I'd be so grateful! Closing my sticker shop 8/18! katieaki.com/store www.inprnt.com/gallery/kati...

I think I accidentally sent someone a wallet card Angel Wormwood instead of a wall one, but idk who 😖 please message me if you get the wrong thing. I may not be able to make it right for a couple of months, til I get set up in the new place. Sorry! Thank you!!

:-(

enormous respect and gratitude to my mother, who just packed up my pornographic vintage vhs and bondage manual without blinking an eye 🙏

I had a lot going on yesterday, but it smelled like weed soooo strong in the library yesterday that I was like “someone is smoking IN here” and then upon closing, the manager found that they’d been using the baby changing table in the men’s room as a rolling tray.

our library system: you can’t wear a “protect trans kids” pin, it will disturb the patrons also our library system: why SHOULDN’T the patrons cook bacon “the loud of meats” in the library

I cried so hard in the car on the way home today that I looked like I got 10000 ccs of lip filler

god I’m so tired. And it kind of seems like I’m not going to stop being so tired for like… what? 3 months? 6? A year? Just enough time to settle into our new routine, just to have to change again?? My lanta. Land o Goshen. Golly. Fuck

where should I post my 6600000 pics of this? do people use like....... filckr still?

btw I sent an email to HR & the director today. Posted about long message about what happened in the queer/“ally” chat and got NO RESPONSE !!!!!! Everybody was too scared to even react to the message until my coworker put some down a couple hours later

I’m embarrassed to be upset to throw this out

I sat in the car while El ran into the store to grab a few boxes, and an older lady came and stood really close to the front of my car. I looked up and she did big heart hands over her face and mouthed “I love your car!!” walked a few paces away, turned back and threw me a ton of kisses

what the fuck is Spock’s position called again? all I can think is “First Lady”

Just saw somebody 1000% purposefully ram another car. No damage was dealt or anything, but that was CERTAINLY on purpose

Feeling absolutely maternal about this nasty little feller

god, I’m having such whiplash today. all the fucked up stuff about the interview, but also I had my goodbye party (Friday is my last day) and everyone was crying and saying such kind things about me. It really is such a great place to work most of the time. And my coworkers LOVE me

Not only did they take it out, they also scrubbed any discussion of me moving away because of my partner’s job, presumably bc of pronouns! “Here’s Katie’s fucking thing, she is leaving, don’t worry about why”

Katie Aki ✶@katieaki.bsky.social · last wk.

I like, still can’t believe this. I can’t believe they put this in writing and tagged me in the comment just above it. This seems like the kind of thing you whisper to your colleague in person, so there’s no paper trail

“kind of chic to–“ I do not aspire to be Parisian or to fuck a Kennedy. I want to be a recurring side character in Pee-wee’s Playhouse

I don’t want to be “kind of chic”, I want to be vibrant and kind of loud and goofy and salty and pretty vulgar and completely myself, actually.

I hate that natural fibers are getting slapped with a conservative association like raw milk. 🗣️ Polyester makes my armpits stink 🗣️🗣️🗣️

btw, yall helped me make almost 1 month of my normal paychecks with this! Moving is such a money suck, so this is a real blessing. Thank you 🙏

additionally, stickers are 30% off with the code MOVING. We're moving to a whole new state! Help me make a lil extra money and clear some inventory! I'll be closing the shop very soon because we're MOVING! katieaki.com/store?catego...

I’m making potato salad for MY FAREWELL PARTY at work (😭🫪🥺) and gleefully remembering the time my very awful coworker asked for the recipe for it & I gave her one so pared down as to be completely useless. She brought “oriental salad” to my work wedding shower. (Salad w mandarins and dry noodles)
