Maps shouldn’t be ruled by the patriarchy—so let’s take them back.

From colonial borders to corporate-controlled GPS, #maps have always been tools of power. #OpenStreerMap is different: open, feminist, and built by the people.

🌷 Happy Women's Day! Meet Minna Canth. Yes, pronounced almost like that other word. And honestly? Perfect. She gave the patriarchy exactly the kind of energy it deserved since 1844.

Finland's original feminist and playwright, she fought for women's and workers' rights when most people thought a woman's biggest choice was which apron to wear. Her plays were so sharp they made the establishment sweat. She was the first Finnish woman to have her own flag day (March 19th).

"Kun naiset ovat suljetut riveistä pois, on silloin toinen puoli ihmiskuntaa lamassa, ja luonnollisesti toinenkin puoli semmoisesta epäsuhtaisesta tilasta kärsii."

Roughly translated as: "When women are left out of the ranks, half of humanity is held back, and naturally, the other half suffers from this imbalance."
– Minna Canth, 1844-1897

"Never forget that a political, economical or religious crisis is enough to cast doubt on women's rights. These rights will never be vested. You have to stay vigilant your whole life."

Simone de Beauvoir, 1949

I don't need roses, flowers, and "happy day" wishes. I need #equalRights, #equalPay, and a change of our (again) hyperpatriarchal societies. Not only on paper but in life. The backlash we experience since our fights in the 1970/80s, makes me angry, not happy. And it should be clear that #feminism includes the fight for #transRights and those for #LGBTQ. #Democracy must live #diversity. Authoritarians treat us as enemies. Let's stand together!
