Hey I have a question..
Last year, my unvaccinated sister died of covid and I posted a rant about disinformation that went viral. I received an unbelievable amount of support and well wishes that I wanted to eventually share with her children. I want to make sure I can save those messages and all of my pictures. Where do I turn to find help or information on saving all those messages and pictures?

An easy way to do something like this would be to use Google Meet or Zoom with you presenting the screen and recording the meet.
edtechsInfo@TyJoseph @scottmichaud @dangillmor there is a Google script floating around (I used it in 2012) to keep a similar record. I'll try to find it... https://hawksey.info/blog/2012/01/twitter-archive-tagsv3/ he has an updated one. You can follow the link on this page. @mhawksey

Just in case #google didn't already scrape a complete copy of your twitter history, this seems like a good way to hand it to them on a plate.
