  • Boyfriend, Sometimes Girlfriend Vol. 1

    Boyfriend, Sometimes Girlfriend Vol. 1

    This is actually quite cute and very sapphic. Hetero sapphic? I’m fascinated by the kiss to lady dynamic and how it tries to approach the gender change. It also is more realistic about how boob are and features an in-depth bra fitting chapter which is just very nice. This is for the sapphic/bi folks out

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.
