Phyllis, as I work, I keep having ideas and want to grab the info while it’s flowing. So I’ll start putting it here for you and we can discuss. m

I’m asking Gemini for help with content. Some will be for Instagram as this title suggests. But I first went there thinking it can help me write your terms page so I’ll revisit that soon.
