Cult Following: The Extreme Sects That Capture Our Imaginations—and Take Over Our Lives

Quality Assurance in Another World
This was not what I expected it to be. I expected it to be a comedy isekai where someone is developing products and maybe each episode is a different product? No, I don’t research my animes before watching them. Here’s a trailer for yall: The anime ended up being more serious than I thought, but…

Foul-mouthed, chirp-serving, mother-loving, fan favourite character, Shoresy, joins the Sudbury Bulldogs of the Northern Ontario Senior Hockey Organization (The NOSHO) on a quest to never lose again.

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.

Trigger Warning: Prison
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.
