In Episode 197, Flourish and Elizabeth welcome back Stitch, the media critic and fandom journalist who was one of their original "Race and Fandom" guests way back in 2016! Stitch discusses their career trajectory from omnivorous fan to independent blogger to writing the "Fan Service" column for Teen Vogue, where they've tackled everything from escapism to boys' love fic to racism—and especially anti-Blackness—in fandom. They also talk about the specific dangers they and other Black commentators face in being vocal about these topics—and how the threats they've received will likely make their work unsustainable in the long term.
