Talia Franks

Talia Franks Talia Franks (they/them) is a writer, poet, translator, cosplayer, and podcaster from Massachusetts. At my core I am a writer.

I am an intuitive person who finds joy in creating and building community with effort and intentionality. I’ve been told I’m quirky, and I know that 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 i

t 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. As an aspiring polymath (basically a nerd) I use every day as an opportunity to make real world magic a reality. I’m never more comfortable than when I have a pen in hand, though I’m getting pretty good with a set of knitting needles, when I need to take some time to relax. Writing is only the tip of the iceberg in terms of my creating, however, as I am also a cosplayer, a podcaster, and a creator of chaos. At present I am co-host and executive producer of The Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey Podcast, a retroactive, deep dive Doctor Who analysis podcast in collaboration with my friend Lucia Kelly. My other podcast project, Into the Archives: A Fanfiction Podcast, is currently on hiatus.

GOOD MORNING FRIENDS!! Today is the Massachusetts Primary, and voting this year is more important than ever. Voting is a PRIVILEGE and a RIGHT and one of the most important ways that we can contribute to the way that our government is run. Every election matters, no matter how big or small.

Flashback Friday to Gallifrey One this past February where I did a signing for “Adventures Across Space and Time: A Doctor Who Reader” which I contributed to last year!! My chapter is called “Forks in the Fandom Road: Divergent Views on the Social Politics of Doctor Who”.
I’ll be having a related discussion tomorrow during a live episode of Who Watch: Time and Relative Blackness in Space (a project). We’ll be live at 2pm EDT— check for more info in my stories!!

The problem with taking pictures of things that I have baked is that then when I’m scrolling back through my phone weeks later I see pictures like this— a beautiful scone placed artistically on a plate and I know, I *know* how delicious that scone was, because I’m the one that ate it, but I also know that it involved a lot of time, effort, and ingredients that I don’t currently have, and so I sit silently and contemplate the fact that I am going to have to set aside an annoying amount of time to try and recreate this magic. Especially because even when I bake from a recipe I often take several liberties. One day I’ll tell y’all about the time I “referenced” a recipe and changed everything about it from ingredients to proportions to time in the oven to temperature. The only thing I kept the same was the five teaspoons of baking powder 😂

It’s so funny because I didn’t actually like the new Mean Girls movie that much but that’s not been stopping me from listening to “It’s not my fault” on repeat 🤷🏾‍♀️
