I’m thrilled to introduce Lana, whom I met on TikTok. Her videos appeared on my For You Page, and I messaged her because she seemed like a lovely human being — and she is! I admire how unapologetically she loves the things she loves, which is exactly what we talk about in this episode: queerness, finding community, and fangirling over Harry Potter fanfiction.
