I’m not usually one to call out others for being incorrect (I am ALL the time), but THIS one has to be addressed! Finch, your heart is in the right place but get the quote attribution right! 🤣❤️ Full disclosure: Shakespeare LOVETH the Finch App!

I brought my family to see Congress certify the vote for the 2020 presidential election. The first thing I saw was a bunch of MAGA thugs assaulting the Capitol, one of whom was wearing a stupid buffalo hat. So forgive me if I doubt that the guy who pardoned them is going to bring crime down.

Sometimes the show is weird. Sometimes it’s a cry for help 😂

Your Bard is moving up in the world! “Shakespeare Approves” comes up as the # 2, 4, & 5 search results in a Google search for “Renaissance Faire Shakespeare”! It may be an odd little niche of entertainment on the internet, but ‘tis MY niche! #huzzah

And it’s back. 🙄 Yes, the POTUS who isn’t POTUS yet made it happen. For that is how the system works.

Faire thee well, TikTok — we hardly knew ye.

Apparently, twenty years ago this January I first put on the doublet to become your friendly, neighbourhood Shakespeare. ‘Twas for a school show in Pennsylvania, and on Wednesday I did a school show again — different school, different doublet, different mindset, same mission: make it fun.

“Ode to My Unfinished Scarf” Today’s creation on Writing Sonnets with Shakespeare. You can help create the next one Tuesday morning at 10 am on the Nat21 Adventures Twitch channel.

’Tis a new year, and Shakespeare’s back in the Writers Room! Join your friendly, neighbourhood Shakespeare Tuesday morning at 10 am Eastern Time on the Nat21 Adventures Twitch channel for collaborative writing, where we’ll create something unique, maybe silly, and definitely special together.
