Do you have problem with dear or with Doctor or with both and the last name. If you choose last one, you are really doctor! Congratulations! 😂

What a brave man you were! You sacrificed everything with smile, especially your granddaughter Reem. Now you have given your life. You have proved to be a real Muslim, real soldier, khalid Nabhan! Isreal can't defeat those for whom death is more rewarding than life! #FreePalestine

"Language is so powerful that it makes me not use it appropriately when I have to" is, I think, what you actually meant?

Abdul Basit @abdulbasitling11.bsky.social · 15/12/2024
I think you overthink. You know your situation well and you also know that instead of worrying you should send message tactfully.

Historically speaking, ELT itself was an intrument of colonisation and it continues to play its role in decolonial contexts.

Yes, I was the one who raised question about authenticity. This comment of mine is itself a particular construction.🙂

The reason why I had a laughing emoji in asking 2nd Q was that no matter how varied and interesting responses to 1st Q are, I expected them to be more or less same 😂

Why did you finish? 😂

Maybe the search for the answers to these questions is deeper and more personal than is apparent?

Abdul Basit @abdulbasitling11.bsky.social · 06/12/2024
I think i should have asked what motivated such questions

I think why everyone wants to do phd, including me, is that the world of academia which appears to be a safe heaven— economically, socially, and politically— for all those aspirants who define or would like themselves 2 b defined by much of capitalist goals realised in material understanding of self
