This is really lovely. I'm only just dipping my toes into TikTok and it never occurred to me to use it as a window into different everyday cultures. Thanks for posting.

Interesting article, thanks for posting it! I think that I could have done without Tahir at the end there talking about the hate he nurtures in his heart for Ahmadis though to be honest.
