You may have arrived here looking for something in the Shakesville archives that is no longer online. If you would like to have the text, please email me at Melissa L McEwan at gmail dot com, and I will do my best to find what you need.

There are a number of reasons that the archive which once lived here has been taken offline, but mostly it is to respect those contributors and commenters who no longer want their personal stories and/or images publicly available. My apologies to anyone who is upset by this decision. 

I hope you are well. I hope you are safe. I hope you have not underestimated what to expect from our future, and, more importantly, I hope you are not underestimating yourself and what you are capable of.

Resist, wield your teaspoon, and survive. 

And say hi, should you see me out and about, accompanied by the Scotsman or our fuzzy dog.
