Tweet: I have a new machine but after logging in to Tweetdeck I don't see the Pillow account. @radarhere Can you still see Pillow in Tweetdeck?

[radarhere]

Yes, I can. Tweeted - https://twitter.com/PythonPillow/status/1642117078705651713

I intended to also attach the screenshots, but accidentally posted it too early.

[hugovk]

Thanks! Screenshots not important.

@aclark4life Could you try removing and re-adding my account (@hugovk) to Pillow's Tweetdeck for Teams thing? That might send me a new invitation. https://help.twitter.com/en/using-twitter/tweetdeck-teams
