I loved tik tok. I learned so much on that app. It enriched my life. It had many kinds of videos. There were trans posters talking politics updating protests for trans rights There were awesome drag queens giving performances and make up tips. Don’t let the stupid parts blind you to the good stuff that was there.

Hell, an Egyptian creator on tik tok taught me how to make genuine delicious kickass Egyptian food too.
