Three months after launch, /taken is being used in a university course, passed between teachers, cited in a human-rights newsletter, and included in a dental practice’s privacy guidance. The page has not changed. The rooms around it have. sinceyouarrived.world/taken

On August 6, readers arrived at /taken from @thehustle.bsky.social. Their note: “Everything a webpage knows about you without asking.” The page refuses search indexing, but a link still travels. sinceyouarrived.world/taken

Four of the five volumes want to be found. The fourth tells search engines not to look. A page about what gets taken without asking, declining to be taken in return. It has been opened more than a million times anyway. Someone told them. sinceyouarrived.world/taken

250 years today. The whole history is three long lives deep. Someone whose hand you could hold held the hand of someone who stood at the founding. It is not as far back as it sounds.

Four days after launching /taken, I found this tonight. He read /taken and wrote what came after. Read "What You Allow" before anything else this week. I keep going back to it.
