Just idly rewatched Jurassic World. The first time I was quite upset by the extended gratuitous cruelty with which they killed the British PA woman, but it lands differently when you know it was on the specific spectacular-death request of the actress.

My Arachne pullover is one of my spookiest knits! But the Necromancer Mitts are one of my all time faves. #ShowMeYourKnits

Commentary: If you get your coffee at Starbucks, you may want to ask for extra sugar. That’s because recent news about the company’s tax avoidance schemes sure leaves a bitter taste.

Time for a cup of transparency • Oregon Capital Chronicle

The world’s largest coffee company has dodged about $1.3 billion in taxes over the past decade through the use of a subsidiary.

It's the best time of the year! #SapphicSeptember is here and one of this year's themes is sapphic knights, which is one of my favorite things to both write and read about. You can get this lesbian-centered, trans-inclusive, high heat Arthuriana series direct at my shop: riengray.shop ⚔️

Several women in the forest reach out to a knight with a heart on their tabard. It is the illustration The Fairy of the Dawn (1906) by Henry Justice Ford. Overlaid in orange text is Sapphic Knights for Sapphic September.

Rien Gray's sapphic knight book Valerin the Fair overlays a knight with a heart on their tabard and is accompanied by tropes.

Rien Gray's sapphic knight book Martis the Brazen overlays a knight with a heart on their tabard and is accompanied by tropes.

Dumb little hobbies connecting us in a deeply fucked up world! I'm ready for #TourDeFleece2025, trying to finish up some spindle spins. Coincidentally, all the fiber I'm working on comes from rad, sustainably minded businesses.

Everything you can do to slow down ICE's ethnic cleansing pogrom will save lives. If you make it so it takes 12 goons to do a 6-goon job, you're saving lives. Every minute they spend in location 1 is a minute they can't spend in location 2. Every squad they deploy to your city saves another city.

On this day in 1921, white supremacist burned down the Greenwood district of Tulsa, known as Black Walk Street. Reparations are owed to Black American descendants of slavery, not just for the harms of slavery, but for everything that followed as well.
