You can now do it in seconds. Writing Twitter threads, also known as tweetstorms, can be a great way to clarify your thoughts: keeping each paragraph under 280 characters forces you to focus on your message. Threads are great for engagement and sudden bursts of inspiration. But when the thread is done, wouldn't it be nice to have a quick way to capture the full conversation in one place — one page to read, one link to share, all your thoughts captured on a website you own? Now, when you embed a tweet that's part of a larger thread, you'll see a new "Unroll" button on the block toolbar. Click or tap it to import the entire thread into your post. Publish the whole thread as one easy-to-read post — and since WordPress has no character limit, add any extra thoughts that have popped up in the meantime!
