Trigger Warning: Mass Murder

  • Ice Cream Man: Sundae Edition, Vol. 1

    Ice Cream Man: Sundae Edition, Vol. 1

    “I’ve literally never read anything like this ‘genre-defying’ sorta-anthology thing, but it’s f*cking awesome. The writing is strange and deeply unsettling, and the artwork is gorgeous. The new comic I most look forward to reading each month.” –Brian K. Vaughan, Saga Collecting the first twelve issues of the critically acclaimed, best-selling anthology comic ICE CREAM

    To Your Eternity 1-21

    I’ve always been somewhat in love with this series. And recently I’ve had the joy to get my digital collection up to date— for a long time I only had the ten volumes from a Humble Bundle—and since I was sick, I figured I would slam it back. And my god, did I weep exactly

  • 100 Ghost Stories That will Lead to My Own Death Vol. 01

    100 Ghost Stories That will Lead to My Own Death Vol. 01

    I am a sucker for ghost story anthologies like this. Some stories linger, some flop, and then you have the framework to wonder about as well. Also, sometimes fun art. The conceit is that a grade schooler, depressed and suicidal, was told about these 100 ghost stories. He’ll summon a real ghost if he manages

  • Stab the Rabbit

    Stab the Rabbit

    This book is just a way to alleviate some masculine violence, bro. I’m not joking. It’s got a few stories in it and it takes a juvenile delight in using slurs and doesn’t really have a care for being “politically correct”, as angry male comics would put it. They let you know right in the

  • Man, Fuck This House

    Man, Fuck This House

    Sabrina Haskins and her family have just moved into their dream home, a gorgeous Craftsman in the rapidly-growing Southwestern city of Jackson Hill. Sabrina’s a bored and disillusioned home-maker, Hal a reverse mortgage salesman with a penchant for ill-timed sports analogies. Their two children, Damien and Michaela, are bright and precocious. At first glance, the

    Lady Devil

    PLEASE BE MINDFUL OF THE TRIGGER WARNINGS. Finally. I finally finished this story. Once, eons ago, I started reading this while it was updating. It was one of those services where you need to unlock chapters with money each time so I (as usual) fell off the horse. Now I have finally read the whole

    Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra: World Conquest Starts with the Civilization of Ruin 1

    ISEKAI’D BY: Illness 🙁 I Reincarnated As The Evil God Of My Favorite Civilization. Takuto Ira succumbed to illness at a young age and ended up reincarnating in a world that resembles the fantasy turn-based strategy game Eternal Nations. Not only did he reincarnate into his favorite game, but as the god who commands the

  • Crime Scene Cleaner

    Crime Scene Cleaner

    I really like this game. I like cleaning games and this one tickles the itch just right. I also ended up using this game to test how my computer was doing during the horrible Serial Crashing of November ’24-January ’25. It pretty reliably knocked my computer out (along with a huge chunk of games I

  • The Purge: Election Year

    The Purge: Election Year

    I find it funny that this movie came out in 2016, when Trump won the office for his first term. Like the other Purge film I talked about, the symbolism is in-your-face, criticizing the current government and begging people to trust the system and using their vote to change things rather than taking direct action.

  • The Purge: Anarchy

    The Purge: Anarchy

    As I watched it, I was laughing to myself. No wonder it is so popular a series. For people like me, it’s a criticism of the government putting systems in place that fuck over the lower class in order to build a world where those on top stay on top, enjoying the fruits of the

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.
