Using the excellent tool by @darius I was able to get all of the Vermont Library Association's tweets (back to 2012!) backed up so that we could self-host an archive but also delete our presence from that site. Thanks Darius!

@jessamyn @darius I love that!!! This is reminding me that I am THINKING about putting something up, though I might lock it down a bit

The local Blues Brother cover band absolutely understood the assignment. #vermont

@jessamyn unclear if BLUES license plate legit or for show, but bonus points regardless. #KeepVermontWeird👍 (good-weird - as opposed to creepy JD Vance MAGA authoritarian / Christofascist weird😡👎)

It totally sucks that they now have to try extra hard to find a mall that isn’t deserted or shut down to drive through.

I viewed the source of my grocery store receipt because I was trying to figure out "Is my emailed receipt supposed to be all centered like that? I hope not." and now I have to lie down.

screenshot of HTML file where there is a commented out line saying "Table used to center email" before a bunch of tables looking like they are from the early aughts
a screenshot of a CSS file showing that there are font sizes hard coded for all of the header sizes from H1 down to H18 and they're not even all in order of sizes, Like h15 is inexplicably three times larger than h13.

"CARRYING QUEENS IN TUBULAR CAGES. on the tips of my fingers"

A random image from the @internetarchive account on Flickr that caught my eye today.

Important tech tip for Slack users not sold on the new "design"

If you hard-refresh Slack Command-Shift-R, and then type Command-Shift-S, you get an extra vertical sidebar that disaggregates your individual slacks.

Thanks to @snarkout who has improved my life for the better, this day.

@jessamyn @snarkout I found that Command-Q makes Snack enormously better.

@jessamyn @snarkout @duckalini thank you SO MUCH on behalf of my dear person who has a zillion Slacks and was losing so much time due to this interface change. Much appreciated!

This is the rare occasion on which I fully approve the use of scare quotes.

News: "It’s with a great sense of calm I introduce our newest team member, Jessamyn West. She’s joining us as the new Community Manager of the Flickr Commons program." We should all be so lucky to be onboarded like this.

I made a searchable archive of all of my tweets from 2007 - 2022 using a tool made by @darius

Look how nice! 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:

@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!

@jessamyn @darius I wish this had existed when I shuttered my account. Excellent work.
