    (⊙ _ ⊙ ) ᓚᘏᗢ you may have noticed that the website has had a huge facelift. i went and did all the little QOL updates and fixed the problems that were getting in the way of actually using the website when i showed it to people. i still have not addressed the isekai species/wish…

    bro it’s april already

    Fuck the to-do list: (´ཀ`」 ∠) I’ve run into a new and honestly really funny problem: I’m chainsmoking media. Like, I’m reading too much to keep track of at a decent pace. The fault is… I came into a shitload of manga and it’s so easy to just throw back manga that I just… woops!…

    it’s march 2025

    The to-do list: February saw me put this project on the backburner for more pressing things. And… well. The book I had been reading really dammed up my ability to read anything else (it was Man, Fuck This House). So! I fell behind. We’re still sitting at 60%, sadly. RE: Re: Star Trek. I’m doing…

    The End of 2024

    Closing out the year at last, and I now have another blog. Fuck me, I guess. I’m joking. I like this. No one else does but man, it’s been a lot easier to pull up precisely what I thought (or vaguely shrugged at) when I did something. I’ve legitimately pulled up the blog multiple times…

Welcome to the Menagerie.

Here is where M logs their media activity. Partly because Goodreads is forgettable and keeping physical logs is harder. Sometimes M writes a lot. Sometimes M doesn’t write enough. It doesn’t matter. This is just a for-fun little blog so that M can remember what they thought about whatever they watched or read or played or. Whatever.


What is M?

I read. Voraciously. I have subscriptions to those book things on digital retailers. I consume books at nearly all hours. The hours I don’t spend reading? I’m writing. I’m drawing. I have a problem. I have a problem in that I love to read things that are in the same vein repeatedly. Book journals don’t work and as much as I text my friends screenshots of book passages, it doesn’t scratch the itch. Now I’m going to be doing… tiny… tiny book reports.
