 I made a searchable archive of all of my tweets from 2007 - 2022 using a tool made by @darius Look how nice! http://jessamyn.com/tweets/ I messed it up a bunch of times at first, but then I figured it out. Then I made it orange and added a cartoon bear because IT'S MY STUFF. Get your stuff. Tool is here: 8 comments
 @jessamyn My wife and I were just having a long conversation about the current and future value of 1,000s upon 1,000s of photos she inherited from her parents (many complete unlabeled) and somewhat fewer my still-sharp dad gave me (I had a bunch scanned and he's annotating them). It’s a hard thing to toss personal history, but when it’s 2+ generations back…though I favor scanning & ultimately AI-face recognition based on IDing some people in captions. @glennf My dad scanned a ton of his old slides and put the digital images on Flickr. They're low res but we tagged them and sorted them and I refer to them ALL the time and I'm so happy we did. I think it's different if you have kids, maybe. This is mostly a memory tool for me and my sister. @middleclasstool Did you download your archive.because it just works with your archived tweets, doesn't interact with the website at all. @jessamyn yeah I should have it somewhere, that is excellent news. My shitposting should be preserved for generations to witness |

@jessamyn It’s funny, as my impulse is to delete all my remaining tweets at some point. A few years ago, I deleted everything before 2019!
