Welcome to my hyperfixation station!

When I created this blog in 2021, it was primarily for fanfics and ramblings about Open Heart and other Pixelberry Choices stories. I wish I had known about side blogs then, but I didn't; so, those materials will remain here, but this blog has expanded to cover my new—and varied—interests.

Here's some information on some of the things you'll find here.

2026 Monthly Recap

2025 Complete Recap

2024 Complete Recap

MUSIC:

You'll see a lot of content about #hozier - because HOZIER! But I'll also ramble about my other favorites, including #noah kahan, #frank ocean, # #finneas, #the favors, #chappell roan, and many more. #music will be used on all music-related posts, and there's a weekly Song of the Week poll that can be found using #mypolls.

TV SHOWS AND ENTERTAINMENT:

I will ramble about all my favorites, including #high potential, #abbott elementary, #the rookie, #ted lasso, #derry girls,  #only murders in the building, #shrinking, #bridgerton, and more. Sometimes I'll watch Grey's Anatomy, even though I don't like it because... Jesse Williams is pleasant to look at - even if he is a dick. I use #tv series or #television on all TV-related posts

SPORTS:

I'm a reformed NY Yankee fan looking for a new team - right now, the Blue Jays are looking like a contender because THANK YOU for kicking their asses! :)

I love the #golden state warriors and the #new york knicks. I detest the NFL, as a rule, but # GoBirds!

MISCELLANEOUS THINGS I LOVE:

#new york city #new jersey #amsterdam #life quotes #life lessons #inspirations #mental health #self-help #broadway #reblog games #my polls #just for fun #books #bookblr #beautiful places #utrecht

I try to keep politics off my Tumblr, because this is my escape hatch - but sometimes things are too important, so I'll occasionally post under #us politics and #world politics.

And when you're lucky, you'll get to see my cat! 😊

Decent month for reading, with four five-star reads. Reviews below break:

Good People: (5-stars): It was hard to believe this was a debut novel. A powerful mystery told in oral history form, it tells the story of an Afghan American family thrust into public scrutiny after a tragedy. Themes of immigration, cultural identity, xenophobia, and perception vs. reality are explored. I couldn't put it down.

Clap When You Land (5-stars) was my FAVORITE find this month. I came across it by chance, and I'm so glad I did! An absolutely beautiful novel-in-verse about a plane crash and two young women who lost their father - but gained a sister. You MUST MUST MUST do the audiobook for this - the performance by author Elizabeth Acevedo and poet Melania-Luisa Marte is outstanding. This took my breath away, and I can't wait to read more by Acevedo.

One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This (5-stars): This was one of the most difficult books I've read in a very long time. Through its examination of Gaza, it exposes painful truths that are easy to ignore and impossible to forget. It's not only about the profound suffering it documents, but also about the way societies rewrite their own histories and how condemnation only comes after immense damage has already been done. This should be required reading.

Begin Again: James Baldwin's America & Its Urgent Lessons for Our Own (5-stars): This book is part biography, part history, and part call to action, using the life and works of James Baldwin to examine America's history of racism, democracy, and our national identity. Written in the aftermath of the first Trump presidency, the book feels even more urgent today - the recent gutting of the Voting Rights Act alone underscores many of the warnings Glaude highlights. This book is powerful, inspiring, and often deeply (and necessarily) unsettling. When will America stop the great lie? Sadly, not in my lifetime. Another must-read.

Blended (4-stars): A middle-school level book about the challenges of growing up with a divorced black father and white mother. The main character is coming of age while balancing two very different worlds in a world that's full of ugliness. Don't let the sweet cover fool you, there's NOTHING light about this book - I wanted to hug Izzy though 90% of this story. The ending was a bit rushed, but nevertheless, a good story.

This Story Might Save Your Life (4-stars): This was an enjoyable mystery mixed with a love story; I definitely recommend the audiobook for this one. This was even more enjoyable because it became an impromptu book club with Brenda Rodriguez and Kathy Highet lol - let's do it again soon, friends!

Before Her (4-stars): A very short story that begins The One, "a collection of seven true love stories about friendship, companionship, marriage, and moving on". This was a lovely story detailing how the author met the woman who would become her wife - and those who came before her. I am looking forward to reading the remaining six.

Lake Effect (3 1/2 Stars): I love messy family drama - and this novel delivered. The first half was a lovely slice of nostalgia for those of us who grew up in the 70s, and the mess was served well. The second half focused on the children of the messy-70s parents, and I didn't like it as much. The ending was super rushed and felt forced, but still a decent read.

The Life Revamp (3-Stars): I'm a major sucker for any romance that delves into non-traditional relationship structures - so automatic stars for that. It was a cute enough little story - but a bit repetitious and annoying in parts. Enjoyable, but nothing exceptional.

Into the Blue (3-stars): This was a disappointment. I saw so many stellar reviews, and part one of the novel was well written and sucked me in. I cared about the characters and couldn't wait to learn more, but that ended rather abruptly. From that point on, we were treated to confusing storylines (the TV series revamp in particular), ridiculous storylines, repetition, and abusive behavior treated as "great love". By the time we got to the "happy ending", I honestly didn't care. (I've learned not to believe the hype anymore...)

This is absolute bullshit. TV nowadays sucks.

I think they're implying it's just a this-season thing but one of the few good things about this is airing essentially back-to-back-to-back, y'know, sure starting in January but airing with minimal-to-no midseason breaks from then on with no order shrinkage

[jerzwriter]

True - but still ridiculous. And let’s hope there won’t be breaks. I think streaming has destroyed series TV. I am old enough to remember when shows came back in September, ended in May, and only had breaks for major holiday weeks.

Unpopular Opinion: I would have preferred a Benedict Bridgerton / Lady Tilley Arnold (season 3) match to a Benedict/Sophie.

I would have liked him marrying someone who was more like him. The idea that every man in this show is an utter “rake”, then they meet the one pristine, vestal virgin who makes them realize what love is becoming 🥱.

A Benedict/Tilley match - where they are in love, married - hosting respectable balls for the ton while winking across the room at each other thinking about the debauched event they’d be hosting later. Benedict could have remained himself - not a new, bland version.

I always thought of you whenever I saw him, but omg girl, this is wild 💀

Bruh. I am so over this motherfucker. Yeah, I still think he’s gorgeous… But he is a total douche bag.

Yep. Last year he took Ciarra on vacay with his kids in April, she was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer on June 1, and this motherfucker was parading Blondie here around a month later. The man is a dog.

I don’t defend him… and I feel bad for his kids - ESPECIALLY his daughter. I hope she doesn’t grow up thinking this is how women should be treated.

And I still wonder what happened with him and Taylor Paige. That was some sketchy shit too.
