Thank you for stopping by.
About Me
I’m a retired municipal worker, former AFSCME member, LGBTQ+ advocate & husband, unaligned socialist, eclectic blogger and Apple enthusiast. If you want the full backstory, check out my retirement post.
About the Blog
I launched this blog on the WordPress platform in November 2016 under the name Just Sayin’ together with my website, BobLaycock.com, which is hosted at PageCloud.
The blog has evolved over the years in format and focus, eventually going by the name Just Sayin’ Now. The content here is eclectic as my interests run the gamut from politics to spirituality to technology and beyond.
Posts are listed chronologically in tiles on the homepage. There are also menus for Categories and Search (words or phrases) at the top & bottom of all screens to help find what interests you.
All reader opinions are welcome in Comments. I only ask that we remain civil and respectful of one another.
For those who subscribe to my blog and receive emails from WordPress, be advised that these emails don’t always present the posts and graphics as intended. You’ll see a link in each email to “Read on blog” which I recommend clicking for the best experience.
Social Media
You can also find me at Bluesky, Mastodon, Threads, Instagram, Substack, Facebook and LinkedIn.
