Whenever my phone buzzes with the tell-tale vibration of an incoming text message, I experience what can only be described as a Pavlovian response-a mixture of thrill, curiosity, and urgency-to pick it up and read what it says immediately. This reaction has quadrupled in intensity since quarantine began, a communication line turned life line, carrying with it the opportunity to connect intimately with people whose thoughts I want to devour.
Such is the raison d’être behind MR Thoughtline, Man Repeller’s text-based service that has been lighting up phone screens three times daily since social-distancing protocols became the new normal. We started sending messages a week after our office closed, with the intention of providing comfort, inspiration, or simply a space to chat during this unprecedented time of radical isolation.
