Going to plug my website guide once again: blog.itsnero.com/webguide/

This will get you online with a website in an afternoon. It's not the fanciest or most modern way to do it, but it's code that has worked for decades. Get yourself a site ASAP and figure out what else you need to do later.

✶ FABLE COLLAB PREVIEW ✶ @whaspellbook.bsky.social

Preview of the story and illustration for "The Threads of Fate" written by Madin and illustrated by me, Jou! Background illustration has a young witch in a red dress drawing a glyph on a textile pattern. Text reads, "Be warned, young one. Your impatience may prove fatal," the shopkeeper cautioned her. "The ink from black Silverwood trees is said to be poisonous. Are you willing to risk the fortune that comes with this kind of power?"

I illustrated ?ren's (@chromathesia on twitter/x) story chronicling the journey of a lost child and the sigils that would form the basis of magic.

Preview of the story and illustration for "The First Apprentice" written by ?ren and illustrated by me, Jou! Background illustration has a hooded child reaching up towards a silverwood tree. Text reads, "Can this forest not be your home as it is mine?" the tree asked. "This may be your home, but it cannot be mine. My home has a hearth to keep me warm and a family I love, and I shall miss it terribly if I'm never to see it again."

If you want to avoid these AI generations of your Instagram posts, without switching your account to private, you’ll have to dig into the app’s settings. Open the Instagram app, tap your profile, and then tap the three lines in the top-right corner of the screen. Then, scroll down to the Sharing and reuse tab. Here is where you should see a section labeled Allow people to use your content on Instagram and with AI features on Meta, with a toggle for Posts and one for Reels.
