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. https://x.com/abughazalehkat/status/1706777915516715084?s=20

Story time. Let’s talk about the weird circumstance that led to Green Jacket Lady, and what was going through my head. I’ve never really told this whole story except to friends, but I think it’s a pretty good one, so settle in.

Already done! It felt like the first day of summer vacation.

Cancelled! Felt almost as good as cancelling facebook did.

I get a lot of “oh, I wish I could say stuff like you did.” Guess what! You can! Just say the thing. No need to wait for an idiot with a camera crew. CALL THEM ON IT.

I’m not saying you shouldn’t do this, but let’s all just vote for @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social instead!

NotMe @princessjemmy.bsky.social · Sep 12

Yeah, wasn’t voting for him before, and this certainly doesn’t change my mind. I would write in a vote for @greenjacketlady.bsky.social before thinking of wasting it on that bozo.

A lot of people have been calling me the
@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social of Seattle. But where Zohran is charismatic, telegenic and stylish, I've spent my whole adult life looking pretty dumpy. To look more mayoral, I enlisted my friend Andrew Ashiofu, who took me to one of Seattle's premier boutiques.

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

My ballot is entirely bad-ass women and it feels fantastic. #Katie+Claudia+Alexis+Dionne+Erika

And then add to that that they’re bad at their jobs in fighting crime??

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?

The deeper Harrell goes in fighting Katie Wilson, the more I can’t wait for her to be our mayor. Angry, divisive, loud? Yes please! All that and more.

Katie Wilson @wilsonkatieb.bsky.social · Jul 14

With ballots about to drop and just three weeks before Primary Election Day, it's clear the incumbent and his big-money backers are terrified of our campaign. I’m bracing for the attacks to begin. 🧵

For real. I think this is the first time I won’t be voting a straight Stranger ticket.

And here I was wondering if I didn’t agree with SECB’s choices just because I gotten old. Whew!

Teenagers! You absolutely have aura!

Green Jacket Lady @greenjacketlady.bsky.social · Jun 26

The interns at work have declared that I “have aura.” So that feels pretty good. (I did have to check with them about what it means though. Perhaps that takes away a bit of aura?)

Sat next to Paul Reubens, Ray Liotta and Johnny Depp having a drink together. (Figured out later it must have been during the filming of Blow in 2001. Because these guys weren’t just hanging out, right?)

Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

We don’t need to make downtown look like a crappy suburban mall. No giant kiosks!

You know you can just not use AI, right?

You can make a choice not to be part of this.

Even if your job uses it, YOU don’t have to in your normal life. You don’t have to let your kids use it.

You didn’t have it three years ago. You can just…be on Team Human. You can choose.
