The plot thickens: I can log into Twitter in a "private window" on Firefox now.
I seem to be unable to either log in or view anything on Twitter on my computer (using Firefox). I just get an error message saying "Something went wrong. Please try again later."
If you employ PAs (with a DP or self fund) you can apply to @skillsforcare to fund training for you as an employer or for your PAs. 31st March deadline so you still have time. They cover all costs including replacement care so it's worth taking a look 👇 skillsforcare.org.uk/Funding/Indivi…
I don't know how long it has been going on for as I hadn't used Twitter on my computer for ages. I wanted to get back into using it though!
I thought it might have been something to do with ad blockers (I'm using uBlock Origin), so I disabled it on twitter, but that doesn't seem to change anything. Anyone have any ideas what's gone wrong, and/or how I can fix it?

Want to start a housing #Coop? 🏘️ This first in a three-part series in London this Monday, from @space4coop, is all about learning how to start a housing co-operative 📌 19 Feb, London buff.ly/3SOYK4r
🚨OPEN LETTER FROM DISABILITY ORGANISATONS🚨 Bristol: Stop the proposed “Fair and Affordable Care” policy We oppose any cuts to social care which undermine our survival, threaten our choice of where and how to live and any increase institutionalisation winvisible.org/2023/11/28/bri…
Workshops in England, Wales and Scotland on starting a co-op 🙌🏻 And if you want to start one in NI like @Carrickgrocers or @jubilee_coop give us a shout!
👍 🤩 Want to do business fairly and democratically? ✅ Start a co‑op! Find out how by joining one of the FREE workshops we’re delivering with other co‑op experts across the country. Sign up 👉 buff.ly/3Rq5nIE and discover #coops! Supported by @CooperativeBank
Could be a good opportunity for a housing co-op?? walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-new…
Looking (due to last min changes) for BSL interpreters for an event we're running on disabled people's resistance to welfare state violence in Manchester next week (November 8th 2:30-5 pm). Do reach out if you're available. And details on the workshop to follow soon

Please reply to Bristol, who are considering often placing disabled people with care needs > cost of a care home in a care home, instead living at home with PAs. This is not OK, please reply to this consultation, even if you don't live in Bristol ask.bristol.gov.uk/fair-and-affor…
The ongoing housing crisis forces many of us into the hands of parasitic landlords🤑🤢 but there is an alternative! Learn why and how to set up a housing co-op from experienced cooperators and start organising! 2023.antiuniversity.org/events/why-and…. Tue 3 Oct, 6:30pm @CooperationTown.
Do you work for a company where a private owner wants to retire? Or where a large company wants to sell or close part of its operation? Do you as employees want to take over an existing business or service? We could help you do that buff.ly/46lKhRz
