For perspective - this video shows the ravaged landscape for a 1,500 acre Data Center campus.
Central Park is only 843 acres. I've very roughly blocked out what it would take to approach 1,500 acres.
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).

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.

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.

The Dragonflies are out now too. Fun to see some on my last outing.

One year ago today, Minnesota Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were senselessly murdered in an act of political violence.
In their memory, we recommit ourselves to the values that Melissa and Mark exemplified: building a kinder, more just, and loving world.
