Biography
I am an intuitive person who finds joy in creating and building community with effort and intentionality. I bring my unique experiences and critical points of view to every table. I believe in the importance of language as something that can be used to both heal and harm, and that we need to be critical of the ways that we use language precisely because it can be weaponized in such a manner, particularly in literary and fandom spaces, which is where I have the most expertise. I’m a poet, a writer, a reader, a translator, a podcaster, and above all a creative who likes their feminism intersectional and their entertainment diverse. In every project I undertake and in all of my writing I center my six core values: creativity, equity, intuition, joy, knowledge, and community. I follow my intuition, I strive for equity in all situations, I work in community with others, and I create things that bring joy to myself and to others. I am nonbinary and genderfluid, and I ask that you use the singular they series of pronouns (they/them/theirs) when referring to me.

By Peaches Christ, Anthony Hudson, Talia Franks, Tai Gooden Verified| Nerdist Verified Happy June! It is Pride Month, a time where we celebrate the creative works, societal strides, and overall brilliance of LGBTQ+ activists, artists, collectives, characters, and trailblazers who have shaped our world. Of course, this extends deeply into pop culture entertainment, from the LGBTQ+ icons who changed TV, film, music, and more to fictional characters who resonate deeply with fans, cementing a permanent place in their hearts.
By Talia Franks| wordforsense.com@ Throughout Doctor Who‘s six-decade history it has gone through innumerable changes. The Doctor/Companion dynamic has always been at the heart of the show. Yet, as the characters shift so do their dynamics. This post explores the the relationships between the Tenth Doctor and Rose (Tenrose) and the Thirteenth Doctor and Yaz (Thasmin). I pay distinct attention to why the Thasmin dynamic feels notable compared to other relationships due to race, gender, and sexuality.
By Talia Franks| Nerdist Verified Netflix’s Wednesday and Jenna Ortega’s impressive performance as the iconic Wednesday Addams is a hit. However, the show has hit some recent criticism over its portrayal of two prominent Black characters: popular girl Bianca Barclay (Joy Sunday) and Lucas Walker (Iman Marson), the “normie” and son of Jericho’s sketchy mayor. Some fans viewed the characters as one-note bullies; however, that is not completely true.
