For “mug” here's a snip from a story that will be available to read online on 14th April (twistedtonguepress.com | Issue 2 release) I had to redact the spoiler! (anyway mark your calendars, set up a reminder to read it) #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #AmWriting #WIPSnips #NewWork

Brown Hound Press on Instagram: "Story of the Week: Last week, a California jury found that Meta and Google were guilty of deliberately designing their apps to be addictive. The plaintiff alleged that her depression and anxiety were directly related to her use of the technology, and the court agreed.

The theme sounds like sci-fi, but read the story in the context of the Meta/Google court case and you might find Sylvie’s experience hits a little too close to home.

Sylvie’s world existed in muted blues and greys, mirroring the screen she clutched like a lifeline. She was fourteen, lonely and keenly aware of the space around her that no one chose to fill. Her bedroom, a sanctuary of dust motes and charging cables, was where her true self resided, hidden from th

This feels like a great writing prompt 💀💀💀 I must use this science and write something! @[email protected]
