    A Man & His Cat Picture Book: Fukumaru and the Spaceship of Happiness

    Yall remember A Man & His Cat? Probably not because I literally just wrote that one up and no one his here. Shut up. The author made a picture book for the series! It’s cute, a little lovely story about how happiness isn’t found in objects, but in memories and experiences. Highly recommend for the

    HEY! Does Princess Peach make you horny? I’m assuming you said yes. I’m a huge fan of Winton Kidd, so PLEASE! Go and check out this little Peach lookbook zine. I adore how he draws her body, playing with the weight of breasts and stylization. Do it for her.

  • The Unsinkable Ship of Fools

    The Unsinkable Ship of Fools

    Fuck Capitalism and then Fuck Each Other The author lives that pure anarchist punk life and fuck, dude, I honestly think that they got it right. All those pretty ideals that psuedo punks, wishful punks, talk about. Those little touches that bring it in and make it vibe. This is full-on an anarchist sex train

  • Out There Screaming: An Anthology of New Black Horror

    Out There Screaming: An Anthology of New Black Horror

    This one took me a long time to read. Not because it was bad, but because sometimes reading one story was like being hit by a bus, and then I needed a long break before I went back to it. Horror is a reflection of the writer’s struggles, a very open dialogue about the problems

    My New Boss is Goofy

    PLEASE ALL I WANT IS FOR THEM TO KISS Okay. That ‘s out of the way. I fucking love this series. I rewatched the first half with Karen because I was so condiment she would be into it. This series is so soft I can probably be happy watching it once a month even though

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.
