Disabled People and Co-ops

Work without bosses, homes without landlords and nothing about us without us: researching disabled people's involvement in co-operatives in the UK

[Disabled People and Co-ops @DisabledCoOps]

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 https://t.co/OP7x8CmhXx

Are you working on queer crip solidarities? Or other forms of working together/across /between queer, trans, intersex & disability? Do you want to write or draw or through other creative means share this in a chapter? Cool! Get involved: https://t.co/vjejvvFdfq 🐌 🐌 🐌 🐌

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 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?

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

[ANTIUNIVERSITY NOW @antiuniversity]

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! https://t.co/NwPjGNLiNL. Tue 3 Oct, 6:30pm @CooperationTown.

[Co-op Finance @coop_finance]

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 https://t.co/PKrfWMOnu9
