Hello Twitter! My name's Steve (pronouns: they/any 🏳️🌈 ) and I am currently a Visiting Researcher at the University of Leeds, funded by the @_ISRF and researching #disabled people's involvement in #cooperatives in the UK. My research website is disabledcoops.uk

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 👇

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?

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!

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

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
