In today's episode of Ladies First, Kori and Taylor discuss toxic elements of fandom and their connections to Internet culture in general. Our topics include fandom discourse that reflects binary, black-and-white thinking associated with religion and the social justice movement, and how we talk about women in the public eye.

Ladies First talked about Wynonna Earp again! Dayana and Kori discussed what's happened in season four, what we'd like to see in the second half, and our favorite characters.

For this special episode of Ladies First, Taylor interviews long-time bisexual activist Lani Ka'ahumanu about her role in establishing a national bisexual community, the importance of representation, and overall what bisexuality means to a monosexual world. As Lani proclaimed in 1993, "Aloha, my name is Lani Ka’ahumanu, and it ain’t over til the bisexual speaks…"

Sneaking in at the end of the month, Kori and Dayana are finally talking about season one of Freeform's Motherland: Fort Salem. If you haven't watched the season yet, be aware of spoilers. (Also, if you have watched the season and are a fan of Scylla... maybe approach with caution?)
The Ladies discuss what worked and didn't work for them this season, what they'd like to see in season two, and why Abigail Bellweather should get what she wants, when she wants, because she deserves it.

Taylor and Rebecca discuss the new animated series from Disney.
