@aliawhs I do hear the older folks calling it Muhammadi bister sometimes. It's not very often though.

@NatalieOrnell Wow! This is horrendous!

[Nazahat Durryyah @NazDurry]

@NatalieOrnell What? Tell me more about it.

In Urdu poetry we do see a metaphorical use of lover’s doing their beloved’s hair.

Back in my hometown after 12 years and living 11000 miles away from it. Sadly, I'll have to leave again. But I'm savouring every moment of being in my hometown and seeing my mom after so long.

Since leaving my hometown at 18 I have lived, in turn, the following distances from it:

115 miles
671 miles
2799 miles
115 miles
1663 miles
223 miles
3284 miles
3365 miles

I haven't been back for three years.

If you speak, you have an accent.

This talk is now available on YouTube! In it I cover the origins of Anti-Black Linguistic Racism in this country, the defaulting of MUSE, and their effects on various institutions, including policing, media, and housing. https://t.co/8x2f9mv0el

The reason I was quiet on Twitter: my super mum (62) was fighting covid in ICU for nearly 3 months. She lost her fight last Friday in Ramadan

She is more than a covid statistic.

Her history like many women of colour from her generation needs to be told.

Why is writing in academia overly complex, I legit don’t understand the words in some of these articles. Why do y’all write stuff that no one can understand? How is that effective?

Best part about being an artist is that I have my safe sanctuary where my soul can rest, play and explore the infinite possibilities of fantasy. #artists

[Naomi Smart @NaomiDoesWords]

Can’t count the number of times I’ve requested captions and been told ‘it’s too big an ask’. You know what else is a big ask? Expecting deaf people to hear.

My students may not remember much from this sociolinguistics course in 10 years, but I hope they’ll remember this week when I stood on the chair and yelled, “YOU HAVE AN ACCENT!”
