  • Green Card Project.

    7pm

    ...the applicant was becoming a well adjusted performer as they had to tell several stories to the audience of one (the officer), and also make sure that they are assuming the right personality for their "character".

    ...the applicant was never a good actor, or a theater enthusiast to begin with. They in fact would suffer from stage fright every time they were tasked with something as minimal as announcing a short statement to a group of people... But this, this was giving them quite a thrill.

  • Heart Ripped Out Twice and So Can You

    7pm

    During the pandemic, Linnea found out she had some tumors.

    That really sucked. When one major surgery failed, she had to have her chest sawed open and her brain radiated to get them out.

    That also very much sucked.

    And then she kinda almost died from an infection.

    Which, too, hella sucked. And then she had a real hard breakup. Really painful. Like 10 out of 10 pain. A whole lot of cumulative sucking.

    Ever wanted to know what it feels like to have your heart ripped out...twice?
