Today’s Tea: Why Everyone's Suddenly 'Going Off the Grid'—But Not Really

Somewhere between deleting Instagram and announcing it on Instagram, we lost the plot.

You’ve probably seen it: a friend posts a blurry photo of a lake with the caption “disconnecting to reconnect” followed by a barrage of story updates from that exact trip. Welcome to the era of performative digital detoxing.

The idea of going off the grid sounds so peaceful—no notifications, no doomscrolling, no algorithm. But in reality, most of us are still sneaking a peek at emails, checking Spotify for the perfect “forest-core” playlist, and sneakily posting a sunset Reel.

Here’s the tea: it’s okay to want quiet without the pressure to vanish completely. Maybe you don’t need to throw your phone into the ocean to feel present. Maybe balance looks like turning off your push notifications and just… not telling anyone?

So next time someone says they’re off the grid, just know they might be “off” in spirit, but fully online with a backup charger in their bag.
