Literally every freaking World Cup I try to convince myself I can be restrained, ignore it, and get work done — but then I just lose my entire godforsaken mind for the whole damn month
I may not be Algerian by birth or ancestry, but try talkin shit on Algeria, and I’m proud to say —
You’ll find out reeeeeal quick just how Algerian living in that country made me.
Y'ALL MY HEART CANNOT HANDLE ALL THIS
I'm almost speechless. This is so wild and absolutely beautiful to see.
Underneath my old KU dorm room window is a GIANT Algerian flag -- my beloved second homeland literally merging into the landscape of my beloved undergrad home in Lawrence.
Kansas, Algeria, I love y'all so much.
Obsessively liking every single post I see about Algeria and Kansas for the duration of the entire ass World Cup I LOVE THIS SO MUCH Y'ALL DON'T EVEN KNOOOOOOOOOOOW

Here’s to hoping my boyfriend doesn’t come home early today in the middle of a match to find me going full World Cup hooligan at Telemundo 😬
Algeria is home to one of the most vibrant North African indigenous communities: the Kabyle (you may have heard the term "Berber," but do us all a favor and use "Amazigh" instead).
If you get a chance to visit Algeria between June and August, head to Tizi Ouzou for the Kabyle Music Festival!

KU isn't Lawrence's only university, and DON'T YOU FORGET IT.
Haskell Indian Nations, the biggest intertribal institution of higher education in the US, is also there (if you're in town, don't miss out on the school's annual February / May pow wows).

What am I wearing this World Cup?
#Algeria #Kansas #الجزائر #كانساس
Y’all it’s #fate #مكتوب
Another beautiful point of commonality between Lawrence, #Kansas and #Algeria (as dear to my whole heart and soul as both these places are):
INDIGENOUSNESS.
From the Midwest to the [so-called] 'MidEast':
EXISTENCE IS RESISTANCE.
