Making fun of Fox News reporters on camera since 2023. "Oh no, you were in your car! They were hurting you so bad." I made the jacket. x.com/abughazalehkat/status/1706777…

My college reached out with the opportunity to “communicate regularly” with an AI chatbot. I immediately opted out, but WTF. This is one of the most disappointing things I’ve ever heard from a liberal arts institution that used to pride itself on teaching critical thinking.
Ari will communicate with you regularly: sharing information from Colby, asking questions, and, importantly, listening to your answers. What Ari learns will help the people at Colby who do this work every day better understand what matters to you and find more relevant ways for you to stay connected to the College.

I have experimented with adding fish-eye darts to the back to make it make more fitted. (But only on non-waterproof versions since I didn’t want to introduce more stitching holes).

I did. While I like the option to make it more fitted, putting the drawstring in was kind of a pain, and I don’t love the look or feel of having tassels swinging around my mid-section.

Thank you! I’m pretty proud of the little details like that that came out well. (And having a fancy machine with all the special feet helps too).

Since the original jacket, I’ve also made a marimekko-style one, a fleece-backed orange one (for extra warmth), and a mustard yellow one. But the green will always be my favorite.

All the hardware came from Goldstar Tools. This was also an excellent excuse to purchase a heavy duty snap press, which is also great for rivets on jeans and grommets.

I wanted a fully waterproof jacket that could handle a Seattle winter, so I used the 3-ply Ultrex from Seattle Fabrics, and sealed all the seams with iron seam tape. To maintain the waterproofing, no pins were used! Instead, a lot of clips and masking tape. www.seattlefabrics.com/56-3-Ply-Ult...

Some people have had questions about my jacket, so for my #garmentsewing and #seattlesews friends, here are the details! I made this jacket in 2017. It’s the Kelly Anorak pattern from Closet Core Patterns.

Being sassy is far more fun and powerful than being nice, and neither have any correlation with how much people actually like you.

I sewed it! I’m a proud member of our mighty little #seattlesews community. I’d had written up the making of the jacket for my (now deleted) instagram. I’ll dig up the pics and post it here soon!

Three years ago today. Let’s get out there and make fun of the fear mongering bullies. (And bring a jacket. It might rain).
A screenshot of a twitter post from Kat Abu: “Fox News tried to do a bunch of scary man-on-the-street interviews about crime. It didn’t go well.“ It includes a picture of a white woman in a green jacket with a microphone in front of her. She is outside in Seattle, getting increasingly annoyed with the reporter trying to paint Seattle as a hellhole. She will soon turn to straight up mocking him.

These offices and the people in them did a lot of great work. I wish Zahilay the best in creating a new structure, and I hope it’s as effective as the old.

I couldn't be more proud for this guy. I hope Fox never learns that people have no fear of telling the blunt truth to their cameras.

Interesting. I guess it’s true that I haven’t gotten formal notice yet. There’s been nothing in writing so far. I’d love it to all have been nothing!

I’m not shocked, but that doesn’t make me any less unemployed. I’m sad to lose a job I’ve loved. If anyone wants to hire a kick ass project manager with deep knowledge of local government, and who sometimes mocks Fox reporters, DM me!

Clearly he’s forgotten he’s a renter. Definitely not getting security deposit back. And as his landlord, we better be gearing up for one hell of an eviction proceeding in 3 years.

the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless — a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class — is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back

I am scared of people in cars when I’m walking, so maybe that’s their point? (Just one of the reasons I don’t wear a boring black raincoat).

Thanks to r/Seattle for giving me a laugh this morning and sharing this post from Seattle Police Officers Guild on the other site. How do these people get to/from work in the winter if they’re afraid of the dark?
