On Seneca
And the shortness of life Introduction For as long as I can remember, I have loved philosophy. I consider it a pillar of my own self. If I were one day not to care for wisdom anymore, that in itself would be proof that I indeed have died inside. My life has not been free…

Do you remember life before the internet? I was born mid 90s, two years after the internet was lauched for the public – so I guess I don’t really remember life before the internet. Of course we didn’t have internet in our family immediately, it took almost my entire childhood before internet was common –…

Project pivot
Originally, the story of Gutnabáđoš was only meant for my daughter. Then, for more sámi children, and then for a film project.

Sámi skábma workshop – Christmas/yule traditions in sámi culture
A year ago, I started studying Sámi yule traditions. I prefer not to call it christmas, since the practice predates christianity in this region. When I grew up, my parents sometimes called it Solsnu (Sunturn”), and while we did surround ourselves with many common Christmas traditions – the yuletree, santa, the star and baby Jesus…

Ethical meat eater?
What are your feelings about eating meat? Hunting, fishing, herding – I am in full support when done right. The meat industry however, is creepy at best and hellish at worst. My grandmother was a farmer, but quit when when new laws forbid her oxen from stepping out into the sun. This was in 1970,…
