The Week You Took Your Space Back
This week was about one thing: reclaiming space. Not just digital space, but mental, physical, and public space. Space that’s yours to guard.

If you’re traceable in the real world, you’re not untraceable.
You think you’re safe because you’re inside?
You’re not. You’re just easier to watch.
Privacy starts with what you let in, not just what you keep out.
You didn’t sign up to be a dopamine puppet.
But now your body twitches when your pocket vibrates.
Your brain fills the gaps between notifications with phantom buzzes.
You check your phone without knowing why.
They want you loud. Predictable. Constantly feeding the machine.
We’re going to starve it instead.
Physical tracking builds a profile you can’t see but they can search anytime. And when they decide to use it, you don’t get to argue the context, just the consequences.
You didn’t install a convenience system. You built a self reporting surveillance grid.
Cities are surveillance machines now. You don’t just walk through a city. You get recorded, scanned, profiled, and logged. Movement becomes metadata. Identity becomes inference.
Your face is in more databases than your social security number.
