Dear Library of Congress,

it has come to my attention that The Library of Congress has acquired twitter’s entire catalog. This is exciting to me! I have been trying to access my earliest tweets for some time, but twitter does not allow this (they limit access to like the last 3,200 or so). I’ve requested they allow me to read all of my updates. After all, I wrote ‘em, I should be able to read ‘em! But they seem unwilling to help me or address this deficiency!

It’s a bit unclear to me why they would give them to you, while continuing to deny them to me, but so be it. Since you have them, would you please send me my first 10,000 or so updates? I’m not interested in the replies to people as much as I am the stupid crap I fired off. A .txt file or even a print-out of all @jackassletters updates will be fine, thanks!

You can just send them to the above address!

Sincerely,
