Instagram has been showing me Dallas clips all weekend for some reason. I mean, I get that the more I watch the more they show me. But I don't know why it started. Lol. But, of course, I'm watching them. I loved that show so much.
As J.R. Ewing, Texan Larry Hagman was the only actor to appear in all 357 episodes of "Dallas." I only mention it because Larry died 13 years ago today, on Nov. 23, 2012. He was 81 years old.

I get it was important at the time. But I hate so much that this guy who should be left in history's recycle bin still gets his name and image mentioned at all. For losing. She was amazing and he still gets mentioned for running his mouth and being unable to back it up

I can't remember who told me about this book, but I'm loving it. I would recommend listening to it because he does examples of the things he talks about.
It's wonderfully relatable, for something that could be very technical. Thank you for the suggestion!

Liverpool lose back-to-back games 3-0, this time at Anfield to Nottingham Forest. Arne Slot outcoached by Sean Dyche, who delivers the sixth team to beat the defending champions this season. Liverpool manager left in the Natalie Imbruglia position, cold and shamed, lying naked on the floor 🤯

There’s a lesson here. 😂🤣 I thought the guys were doing a good job. That’s the lesson. Let’s just stop assuming they’re doing it the best way without seeing anyone else first.

I’m so exhausted. I bailed on our union meeting tonight after 2hrs because i was so exhausted. And yet, here i am still awake and contemplating why it’s so hard to just tell people how you feel. 🤔
I’m terrible at it. Because i find it terrifying. I’m a lifelong work in progress. 😂

Our patron requests are divided up by assumption of what the book is and who does that area. Someone assumed this was fiction. And I laughed and laughed. They clearly only saw, or paid attention to, the title. #collectiondevelopment bookshop.org/a/4013/97800...

Not one, but TWO Coleridge-Taylor discs released today! One featuring the orchestral works of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor; the other, nearly all premiere recordings of Avril Coleridge-Taylor's orchestral works. Check them out! You won't be disappointed.

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.
