Rien Gray

Mastercard is bleeding, get in there. Make some calls. Get some cool family members in on it over thanksgiving

People really need to learn the value of saying “I was wrong”

it is a beautiful thing to work the grit of existence into your own luxurious pearl that no one can emulate

I saw a post the other day that said “I can’t believe genAI has me extolling the dignity of toil like some kind of Protestant” and I keep thinking about it

friction can be good! effort is good! do not pre-chew or sand down processes and experiences for me!

@riengray.bsky.social 's Lesser Hungers

A medieval illustration of a blue feathery or scaly deer thing with an unimpressed human face in its chest like a christmas play costume or something

autocorrect keeps trying to turn “Rien” into “Riven” so I guess I have a shadow self out there somewhere

When somebody asks for a new photo of me I send this:

I do not like your AI slop
I do not want this worthless glop
I do not read its overviews
I don't care what Grok says is true
I do not like it here nor there
I'm tired of it everywhere

Btw every artist, editor, and writer (me) who has worked on this is either a lesbian, trans, or otherwise queer. I have attempted to work with lesbians in every single capacity i can. I have paid more to work with them. Supporting this book means greater financial security for dykes.

Back now

this man has blood on his hands and everyone who supported him and excused him has blood on their hands and I do not want to hear a single fucking Democrat with any position other than "impeach and remove him immediately"

he and his MAHA movement are child killers

Ah thanks so much!

@riengray.bsky.social (who just released their horror debut Lesser Hungers!) crafts stunning prose & unforgettable characters (PETRA 😭) So does @stevewestenra.bsky.social 👀 whose Erstwhile Tyler Kyle drove me to screaming fits. @thornyfilth.bsky.social's Vice+Virtue is GLORIOUSLY perverse. #SFFChat

I write a ton of trans books! bsky.app/profile/rien...

a medieval style digital drawing of an androgynous brown-skinned knight on horseback on a hill, stabbing a long gold spear into a blue dragon on the ground. the knight has a gold halo behind their head and wears a suit of silver armor with a nonbinary flag striped tunic and a trans flag as a cape. their horse is white, with blue tack with trans pride trim. there is black gothic text at the top and bottom of the image reading “A world without trans people has never existed and never will.” there’s an ornate pale blue border around the image, filled with pink and blue scrollwork, gold hearts filled with colorful flowers, a smiley bat, two smiley moles, and two smiling frogs holding up trans flags.

a world without trans people has never existed and never will

You’re not a good person til you do good things and just being angry isn’t good

“Are the fae open source” is the kind of deranged sentence that keeps me addicted to microblogging. Beautiful poison Rappaccini flower.

incredible reply image for some future time

my secret transgender project… @annehealthcare.bsky.social

I'm rereading Valerin the Fair and READ THEIR BOOKS! READ THEIR BOOKS!

Autocorrect has become our worst enema.

You aren’t fighting for your trans siblings while they’re under threat?

Problematic rage gap.

I'm sure many people have mentioned this, but I think it needs to be mentioned again: women do not have yearbooks. Children do. Because yearbooks contain photos of high school students. Or younger.
