LOL. I've lived in the midatlantic for >25 years, but my dialect is still FULLY a very specific New England.

This is Nisse. I speak to her in English and Norwegian, so the concept of "no" is lost on her in two languages.

An adorable, 5-month-old gray and white kitten.

Nisse. Because she’s still adorable. Alt: tiny gray and white kitten sleeping in various poses of utter abandon and trust.

This advert keeps popping up in my FB feed and I keep thinking there's a new @kjcharleswriter.com book coming out!

An ad graphic for "A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder," a play to be staged by a local theater company. The graphic includes a background of Victorian wallpaper with a top hat, a bee, a jar of poison and a saw cutting around them. It looks very much like a KJ Charles book cover.

I told my Norwegian instructor today that I'm trying to make Nisse bilingual and what that really means is she understands "no" ("nei") in zero languages.

A gray and white kitten (and me, but that's not important) who is, shall we say, willful.

Watching Poirot and saw a guy onscreen who I was like, "I KNOW I've seen him in something else," but couldn't place it. I was about 3 screens deep into IMDB before I hit it: Col. Fitzwilliam in the '95 P&P. The way this man YEARNED under his lighthearted, penniless younger son persona.

Col. Fitzwilliam in his regimentals, at the wedding of Lizzy and Darcy and the yearning he brought to the role is right there on his face.

Don’t use AI to write (agreed) but also give up everything dingalings decide is now an AI “tell.” Yeah, no.

Just don't use A.l. for writing, ever, and if A.l. fucks up a rhetorical device you have to stop using it, your chortling "I wish people were as clever as MEEEE" whimsy can get fucked

Btw, if any #knitters on here have questions about the #rødlue pattern from the Minneapolis knit shop, I have thoughts. This was actually my second go at it. Luckily, I have a cone of School Products merino worsted that could make sweaters for a regiment.

Adele Buck @adelebuck.com · 07/02/2026

Do it. Just like knitters reclaiming red hats in the form of the knitted beanies that the Norwegian resistance wore during occupation in WW II.

Me in the rød lue that I knit last weekend (and thank god because it's been so cold here and this thing is dense and seriously warm).

My original facebook post:

For anyone who still has MAGA or MAGA-adjacent folks in their lives, I would like to give you a response script if you find it useful.

MAGA: "Well, s/he should/n't have..."

You: "Oh, so they deserved an immediate, extrajudicial death sentence? Please show me where in U.S. law this is a lawful use of force."*

They cannot because it is not.

Also, for the record, ICE has not killed 2 people in 2026. They have killed 9. Keith Porter, Parady La, Heber Sanchaz Dominguez, Victor Manuel Diaz, Luiz Beltran Yanez-Cruz, Luis Gustavo Nunez Caceres, and Geraldo Lunas Campos all deserve to be remembered as well.

*Do not accept vibes in lieu of citations. That way lies the breakdown of civil society. "I believe" or "Well, I just think" are not valid citations to U.S. law.

Heyo - Meet-Cat is starting to get some nice reviews and I'm so pleased. Astrid, the heroine, is definitely prickly and I know that's not for everyone. adelebuck.com/books/meet-c...

Meet-Cat cover, with five-stars to indicate review ranking and: “I'm beginning to think that Adele Buck's superpower is the novella...If you enjoy compact stories that don't skimp on realistic character conflict, and if you enjoy later-in-life romance, then you need to pick up this novella right now!”

In comments on another app (under a post ABOUT AI DISINFO), some well-meaning person basically said, "It's too bad your profession is going extinct." It made me very, very angry, but I responded with:

You think people who can teach media literacy are becoming extinct? I heard the exact same thing when I was getting my degree about 20 years ago, but then it was about Google.
