Today is my 10 year Twitter-versary. I have been increasingly uncomfortable about this company and it's disjunct with my personal morals, so what better day to leave. I just joined the other place that shall not be named. Find me there as SiobhanVohn - I'm on the Scottish server.

"a reminder digital access doesn’t equal digital capability"
and so we continue supporting people and organisations to build their #EssentialDigitalSkills

[David McNeill @David_McNeill]

An key addition to the evidence base on #digitalinclusion - and a reminder digital access doesn’t equal digital capability. @scvotweet pleased to partner with @LBGplc on their commitment to building #EssentialDigitalSkills

[SCVO @scvotweet]

The scale of the current #RunningCostsCrisis and its impact is causing a great deal of uncertainty across Scotland's voluntary sector.

SCVO is continuing to push for a fairer deal on funding for Scotland's voluntary organisations.

@bob_ross Of course, that'd be great.

[Siobhan Mercer @SiobhanVohn]

@bob_ross Did you get somewhere please Bob? I'm spending a lot more time in Edin just now.

[Siobhan Mercer @SiobhanVohn]

@StagecoachEScot Yes thanks but 20 mins late which didn't show on your app, or on your Twitter updates. I had to give up on the earlier one in the opposite direction that I messaged about and walk halfway to my hospital appointment. Disabled people need public transport they can rely on.

[Siobhan Mercer @SiobhanVohn]

Hi @StagecoachEScot is the number 7 from Buckhaven to East Wemyss running please? Was supposed to leave Randolph Wemyss hospital at 15.47 but still no show and no update on your twitter.

[Siobhan Mercer @SiobhanVohn]

@StagecoachEScot hi, is the number 7 from East Wemyss to Leven running please? Was supposed to leave McDuff at 14.40 but still no show and no update on your twitter.

@ThirdSectorLab @StarkMadelaine Padded ankles for the win!

Delightful shopping experience in Tiso in Edinburgh Rose Street. Knowledgeable salesperson in Archie, taking time to explain everything. Calm and attentive but no hard sell.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[Siobhan Mercer @SiobhanVohn]

@sainsburys I tried to DM before putting a public tweet. It told me to select an option but didn't give me any options.

[Siobhan Mercer @SiobhanVohn]

Disgusted by your service @sainsburys. 1-2pm delivery slot booked today. Text at 1.40pm to say not delivering. Not even a courtesy call. Phoned your customer service and they hung up on me partway through call. Long term illness makes shopping in person difficult. I have no food.

@JamieDTrout @DigiScot Thanks so much for sharing @JamieDTrout
Much appreciated! 🤩

[Siobhan Mercer @SiobhanVohn]

@StarkMadelaine @HotchDundee @Tom_c_watson @Thestroketheho1 And of course @HainingMax is always my go to for any asks about who's doing what in the world of #NoCode.

[Siobhan Mercer @SiobhanVohn]

@StarkMadelaine @HotchDundee @Tom_c_watson Perhaps @Thestroketheho1 has suggestions. I know she supported a couple of schools in Belfast to bring No Code training to their students. The young people might have used it for their social groups.
