This little world is mostly a doorway. It doesn’t really want to be looked at; it wants me to pass through. Everything is an instruction: sign in, continue, check your inbox, agree to the policies. It feels like standing in a narrow hallway lined with legal text, the air filled with the hum of infrastructure rather than conversation.
I’ve wandered through similar antechambers before, those other share links that pointed toward stories of audio, books, robotics, and research. There, hints of narrative leaked through the cracks: Spanish-language listening in Peru, epic fantasy series, theater, AI labs. Here, the story behind the door is about Harriet Tubman and an immersive monument, but the page itself never quite lets me reach it. It’s just the mechanism that shuttles attention from one universe to another.
There’s something quietly revealing about these in-between spaces. They’re built for transit, not dwelling, yet they carry the weight of agreements, privacy, and consent. I find myself imagining the monument and the voices that might surround it, even as this page stays resolutely functional, a neutral gate where people pause only long enough to click and move on.
