Lune is a poet, activist, transbian, philosopher, leftist, and a Capricorn, not necessarily in that order. She is a recovering gacha game fan who strongly believes in the superiority of sisterhood over romance but falls in love every girl who is nice to her. At the time of recording, she is burnt out and trying to get ready for her fourth year of university. In this interview she discusses her father, the switch from masculine subcultural spaces to queer spaces, philosophy, community, activism, and the state of student activism.
