If you download your Twitter archive it arrives wrapped as a static HTML page, which is not very useful for doing anything with, and worse: it requires the original account to be still active to do useful things like enlarge the images since they use t.co links.
So here's a Python script to convert a Twitter archive to markdown or other formats: https://github.com/timhutton/twitter-archive-parser
Now you can archive your tweets in any way you want.

In case you have ever wondered which quantile model fits your research question best, Nicolai Borgen, Øvind Wiborg and I have some answers:
https://academic.oup.com/esr/advance-article/doi/10.1093/esr/jcac052/6815678
We give you some very non-technical discussions (some equations too if you like) about the different estimands we can care about in our theories and how they fit to recent quantile models.
(So, don't use the wrong type of quantile model for you research any more - if you did so...)

I hope the @TrussellTrust would make their data available for researchers. It’s imperative we understand how social enterprises are generating value by ensuring there is less waste in society. Would appreciate if you can amplify so they will notice… #foodpoverty
