    After God Vol. 7

    You know what, I feel bad for Obikawa. He’s caught in this weird web of friendship and manipulation, and as my favorite character and the biggest rat-man in the series, I do not think he should have become a liquidated mass of meat. (not that I think the story should go differently, i truly wonder

  • Tantrum

    Tantrum

    this book left me paralyzed. it’s about generational trauma passed from mother to daughter, abuse that takes the form of “taming” and reliance. the beginning of the book seems grounded in reality and the discussions of feminine rage. of feeling underappreciated and overworked and having more problems on top of that. the deep boiling anger

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.
