Herstory 14 (scp.5 House2) Masculinist culture

Still tired when speaking in this clip. The film I’m talking about is about a guy called Ron English. And the Marilyn Monroe with Mickey Mouse breasts can be seen here. and this is taken from a web page, talking about R.E’s actions in life as very important for some reason: “He started by setting [...]

Herstory 13 (scp.4 House2) Setting boundaries

Hmm. I was a bit tired when doing this recording, and for me it’s always difficult to understand when persons are describing places or situations involving people I don’t know. So, I write a written explanation with this video. It’s repeating what I said, and also correcting some of what I say in the film, [...]

Herstory 12 (scp.3 House2) “Reversed sexism”

It’s very confusing to be part of a “movement” that state to be fighting for a social centre but never talk about what a social centre is for. [except for the talking heads doing the usual "a place for anybody to realize themselves" gah gah for the media, there's not really any internal discussion going [...]

Herstory 11 (scp.2 House1) A house meeting

This is from one of the places squatted during the over year long process of getting a new social centre in Helsinki, after Siperia burnt down.

Herstory 8 – Kindergarten

so the chronological disorder continues. this film comes straight after herstory 7. and both should be before herstory 2. To Fadeiah Grown-ups and kids. Kids and grown-ups. What’s the difference? Both kids and grown-ups see the world (our surroundings, situations and persons) through our emotions. If we’re tired everything can feel difficult and we can [...]

Herstory 7 – First love + Polyamory

so i’m skipping the chronological order. going back in time, to the first love. cause i realized that it’s an important part in my development. kind of where my jesus complex started… this is written to a person i befriended for a while. starting with reflections on love and the twosomeness norm, and polyamory. and [...]

Herstory 6 – Prometheus camp

So, this was once again, an all women experience. Only women in the team. And only one boy participating in the camp. This was my first time, working in a team. And it was really nice. At first i was wondering what kind of structure there was, and what we were supposed to do, cause [...]
