Shoresy Season 5
This was a good season.After season 4’s stick slap to the ice ending, it’s been on my mind endlessly. This season’s “winning culture” ideal has been rotating like fucking tacos al pastor in my brain since I watched it.

Archive 81 Season 1
Archive 81 is a found footage horror podcast about ritual, stories, and sound. It has released three seasons and two miniseries, with more to come. I don’t know that I like Archive 81 so far. I like that it questions the idea of the listener as just an observer, or a participant in a story.…

M's Media Menagerie
Thoughtful Dumping Grounds
Trope: I Know a Guy
The story pulls a character out of its pocket to move the story forward, provide clues, or generally just to raise the reputation of characters.
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.
