I strongly oppose the EU’s “Chat Control” proposal, which would require scanning all private digital communications, including encrypted messages, without suspicion or consent. This kind of blanket surveillance undermines privacy, weakens encryption, violates fundamental rights under Articles 7 and 8 of the EU Charter, and sets dangerous global precedents while doing little to improve child protection.

I'll be honest - I never thought I'd be that person. You know, the one always rattling off book recommendations, banging on about their latest read like it's changed their life, and casually dropping author names like they're old mates. But here I am.

Politics, climate change, tech upheavals, endless news cycles, even my recent tango with dengue—it all piles on. Some days, keeping it together feels impossible, and I'm a hair's breadth away from throwing my phone at the wall.
