Hi! Welcome to my brand new blog, ctrl + alt + revolt.
It’s 3:54 am as I am writing this. As it often happens, I can’t sleep. My brain won’t shut up. Headlines I read earlier, photos and videos I wish were not real, people fighting in the comments over things that shouldn’t even be up for debate, people spreading outrageously false information and other people blindly believing it, Aaron Parnas saying “we have breaking news right now” HAUNTING my brain. A new opinion, a new warning, a new spiral. And still, I scroll because stopping feels worse. But despite consuming an unnatural amount of information in one day, I still feel like I didn’t learn anything, like I didn’t have a single real thought. This cycle is exhausting, overwhelming, and completely unproductive.
I think a lot of us are living this way, and I don’t think it’s working.
I started this blog because I couldn’t find what I needed to read, so I wrote it myself.
Not to go viral or to act like the smartest person in the room, just to stop spiraling long enough to say something substantial and real.
This blog is for people who are done pretending everything is fine. For those who feel the panic, the rage, the fatigue and want to understand why. It’s for those who scroll past a hundred posts a day and still feel like nothing’s actually sinking in. It’s for anyone who’s Googled “what the fuck is going on” at 2 am for lack of a better question.
This blog isn’t a news source; it’s a space for reflection, analysis, and critical thinking with a bit of fuel for the fight.
As humbling as it is to admit, TikTok has wrecked my brain—and probably yours too. Watching democracy being dismantled in real time and then immediately scrolling to a “get ready with me” video, a funny skit, or a new recipe is NOT OKAY. You get 30 seconds to feel outraged, confused, terrified… and then it’s on to the next. There is no time to process, no room to think, no moment to sit in the discomfort.
This blog is not that.
ctrl + alt + revolt is not a news feed. It’s a slowdown, a deep breath.
This is where I will try to break it down. To take all the noise, chaos, and distraction. All the overwhelming what-the-fuckness of the world and turn it into something sharper. Something you can actually sit with, think through, maybe even act on.
It’s clarity with teeth. It’s rage with roots.
More importantly, it’s a reminder that you’re not crazy, and you’re not overreacting, you’re just paying attention, and that’s where the revolt begins.
If you’ve been lying awake spiraling, overwhelmed, angry, sitting with that weird sense of doom, and craving something that makes it all feel even a little more comprehensible, this is for you.
More soon 🙂
