    Confessions of a Shy Baker Vol. 1-2

    Cute and gay. It’s a food manga about making low-cal and healthy desserts, and also a realtor who is gay on the down-low.

  • Bury Your Gays

    Bury Your Gays

    This is an AWESOME takedown of rainbow capitalism and AI in creative spaces. Chuck Tingle has always been a stellar writer, but holy shit, this is fantastic. It really leans into a paranormal angle at first, and it’s definitely along the lines I was thinking, but the execution turned the expected turnout into something more.…

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.
