Woohoo, acknowledgement that my 30-minutes-before-the-midnight deadline submission for #TheBigIssue's Fiction Edition was received last Thursday! 🤞

#Writer #Writing #ShortStories

Woohoo, I've finished my first draft of the 2500-word short story I've written for #TheBigIssue's 19th annual Fiction Edition! Erm, the deadline is midnight tonight, so I'll be busy proofreading and editing until then! 😬

街中まで出たら久しぶりに販売員さんを見かけ、1つ前のビッグイシューを購入。
ミシェル・ヨー主演の新作、金曜に早速観に行く予定を立てているのです。たのしみ :partyparrot:

Found a vendor of #TheBigIssue so I bought this one!
I’m planning to watch Michelle Yeoh’s new film this coming Friday. Looking forward to it!

Please support #TheBigIssue if you can - they are struggling and they are one of the few sources of help-up support for the rapidly growing #homelessness in the UK.

Bit of a cold snap here in the UK and lots of people struggling to pay heating bills. The #NHS has posted some advice that might help. https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/seasonal-health/keep-warm-keep-well/ & #TheBigIssue has listed the locations of WarmBanks https://www.bigissue.com/news/social-justice/warm-banks-winter-cost-of-living-crisis-energy-bills/

> Proposal two: #BatshitConstruction. An enormous amount of building today is purely #speculative: all over the world, #governments collude with the #FinancialSector to create glittering #towers that are never occupied, empty #OfficeBuildings, #Airports that are never used. Stop doing this. No one will miss them.

Its a shame that #TheBigIssue is a CloudFlare site (last we checked). There is an alternative non-cloudflare link but unfortunately we don't have time to look it up, right now.
