Are you tired of being stuck in coronavirus lockdown? Do you feel trapped in the prison that is your mind? Sounds like you’re in need of a scream – luckily, there’s a hotline for that. Those looking to let out their frustrations can call +1 561 567 8431 and, simply, scream down the phone. There’s even a website, justscream.baby, where visitors can listen back to their own screams, as well as other people’s. In a step-by-step guide on the site, Chris Gollmar – the “teacher, occasional artist, and generally rather quiet person” who set up the project – outlines how to use the hotline. Step one: call. “Don’t worry,” Gollmar says. “There is no live human on the other end of the line.” Step two: scream. “Wait for the beep. Scream. Hang up. That’s all there is to it.” Step three (“optional”): return to the site to listen to a fresh batch of screams – updated daily. Callers are encouraged to “please do this in public, except not, perhaps, in a crowded theatre”. Users can even text the number with comments, questions, or just to “send a friendly text”. According to the website, the project will be active until January 21 2021. Listen to yesterday’s screams here, and call +1 561 567 8431 to record your own. Happy Monday! Escape the algorithm!
