17th Earl of Oxford<p>Working long hours on an offline project that leaves little time for engaging with the Fediverse. The archives will have to do for short-term content.

17th Earl of Oxford<p>I was an ex-poet in 1623 when the First Folio of my plays was published.

17th Earl of Oxford<p>To my first lovely followers (gratitude), and others: I haven't said much yet but please don't give up on me. This platform is (for me) a new-strung piano needing tuned for the first time. Worth the effort but requires a lot of attention, and offline is very busy these days so I don't have the time to put in yet. Getting here was the first step, the rest will follow as soon as it can. My blog's there to read in the meantime. <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Thanks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Thanks</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/VeroNihilVerius" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VeroNihilVerius</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Shakespeare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Shakespeare</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Oxfordian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Oxfordian</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/ShakespeareAuthorship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ShakespeareAuthorship</span></a></p>
