Elizabeth Adetiba, Ph.D.
@eadetiba.bsky.social
Critical scholar. Formerly a lot of things, forever a truthteller. Quick-witted and sharp-tongued. Spoonie. Opinions are all my own. She/Her.
Almost didn’t attend graduation this weekend (in fact, I only attended my hooding ceremony) because this university’s admin has drained all the pride out of being a student here.

But I survived COVID, a mini stroke, multiple chronic illnesses, and RAMPANT misogynoir to complete my PhD. So cheers 🎉

I can’t stop thinking about that video of Rumeysa Oztürk being kidnapped by masked ICE officials. Every time I think about it, I weep—the fear and confusion in her voice.

She was on her way to break her fast 😫

Opened my mail to find this gem from my mom. Apologies to everyone who had to deal with the past year of SERIOUS DRAMA around the denial of leaving my 20s 😩🤣

Michelle Trachtenberg dying alone in her apartment from complications from her liver transplant has me just so irrevocably sad.

She starred in one of my favorite Disney movies, Ice Princess, which featured the Caleigh Peters ‘Reach’—a song that went triple platinum on my pre-teen boombox 😩

For research purposes, I need the exact name and brand of both the lipstick and lipliner Sheryl Lee Ralph wears on ‘Abbot Elementary’.

Streets are saying it’s ‘Bawse Lady’ from The Lip Bar but…either my eyes are failing me or the streets are lying.

Who can help me with this project?

A little tidbit of joy: got home from the airport to discover my best friend had sent me this huge box of craft root beer—my absolute favorite drink on this planet.

Some are even low sugar/sweetened with honey and thus very diabetic friendly. To be seen is to truly be loved 😩💜
