Cult Following: The Extreme Sects That Capture Our Imaginations—and Take Over Our Lives
(re: the content warnings pertain to the discussion of what the cults have committed. the book stays away from graphic depictions and distances itself from items to deliver them in an informative manner.) this book is beautiful. i’m just as taken in by the typography and typesetting as i am by the subject matter. details:…

Trigger Warning: Racism
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.
