5th year grad student here working on a meta-analysis of Black students' racial identity, ethnic identity, and positive self-beliefs in school--if you're aware of any work (particularly unpublished) that correlates facets of any 2 of those 3 things, please send it my way!

Real question: how is it that a bunch of us Black kids have internalized that if you sleep with your leg out from under the covers, a demon will eat your foot? No one EVER told me this, yet I know in my soul that it's true.

And in other news that should surprise absolutely no one, after dangling LeVar Burton in front of us, the yt man with outstanding sexual assault allegations against him will be hosting this beloved show (but with a sprinkle of Mayim to hopefully distract you). I *hate* it here.
Announcing Mayim Bialik and Mike Richards as our new hosts of Jeopardy! Richards will host the daily syndicated show, while Bialik will host primetime and spinoff series. https://t.co/MVQAqnKgjU

So, my only explanation for what happened is the aliens came down from Moron Mountain after game 2 and took all the Suns' talent to play LeBron in space; ergo, Space Jam is a documentary.
