Labels Used On This Blog


You may have noticed that some of my articles have a label in the sidebar, but they also have hashtags at the bottom of the post. It's not a mistake; it's a two-part system.

The labels are  broad categories for the major themes of this blog. They're here to keep the sidebar from looking like a cluttered nightmare. This page explains what you will find in each label.


BB-Says: A Journal of Emotion and Opinions

This is where I spill my guts and give you my unfiltered take on everything from politics to personal triumphs and failures. 

Biblical Bullshit

For articles in my series pointing out the absolute bullshit in the bible. Incendiary, to put it mildly, this is gonna piss the Holy Rollers off. But fuck them!

Family

The good, the bad, and the batshit crazy. This is a glimpse into the people who raised me, the people I have raised, and yes, the people who are my chosen family, and the chaos that follows.

Food

Everything from a gourmet meal to a greasy slice of pizza; all the delicious things that keep me from starving. Menus, recipes, meal pictures, reviews of restaurants, you get the drift.

From the Ether

A collection of interesting, funny, or just plain weird stuff I've pulled from the depths of the internet, because some things are too good not to share. You'll find things I've encountered on Facebook, Quora, reblogs, and random websites, and my thoughts about what I've seen.

Health

My journey with my body, my mind, and my doctors; it's a hell of a ride, and I'm just trying not to fall off. Disability issues, chronic illness, mental health, medication, medical research and breakthroughs that I find interesting, and so on.

LOL

The stupid shit that made me laugh. I'm not sorry.

Matters-of-the-Heart

A space for all the complicated feelings, relationships, and emotional turmoil that make me human. It's a real fucking rollercoaster. Joy, Sorrow, Anger, Ennui and more.

Memes

The most important part of the internet; a sacred collection of images, YouTube videos, and jokes that make life worth living. Basically, my favorite finds that aren't a reblog. Feel free to steal, I stole them myself.

Memories

A look back at the past, from the good times to the cringe-worthy moments I wish I could forget. This label encompasses my childhood, adolescence, teen years, marriages, memories of my kids and people I have known, and all that jazz.

Pets

Dedicated to the furry, scaly, and feathered creatures who own me. They're better company than most people. I said it. I stand by it. And people who abuse or abandon or neglect animals should fucking well have to shampoo my crotch.

Random-Rants

The off-the-cuff, stream-of-consciousness rants that just had to get out of my head. It's the little things that piss me off the most. You'll find a LOT of stuff here, because I am crusty and bitchy. Also in here are my more focused, well-thought-out rants on specific topics such as political bullshit; my definitive, "here's my final word on this" pieces.

Religious-Stuff

My two cents on faith, spirituality, and all the confusing, contradictory nonsense that comes with it. In my sixty years (as of 2025) I've been Born Again, a Catholic, JW, Buddhist, Pagan, a generally spiritual person, and have come to the conclusion that it's all bullshit, and I have a lot of opinions about it all. Proud and Loud Atheist now, folks.

I'm not here to argue with believers, I am here to share my experiences, opinions, and feelings. If you can be polite and respectful, your comments are welcome. If they get obnoxious, sanctimonius, or judgmental (and telling me you will pray for me is fucking OBNOXIOUS, as one example) they will never see the light of day on this blog. Start your own blog for that. I am not here to babysit anyone’s fragile theology.

Science-Tech-Net

A space for all the cool, nerdy shit I find on the internet about science and technology, because the future is here and it's fucking wild. My phone is a more powerful computer than the ones that sent man to the fucking MOON, folks. That's NUTS!

Social-Justice

My unfiltered thoughts on the world's injustices, because some things just piss me off, and I have to say something. I talk about equality for LGBTQIA+ people, women, and other marginalized groups.

Social-Media

Opinions on stuff I see on Facebook, Quora, Reddit, other blogs, and social media in general.

Wanderings & Weird Spots

A look at the offbeat places I've been and the weird shit I've seen along the way; because who needs a map when you have a good story. This includes articles about the many places I've lived, New England and Boston, Texas, Chicago, and the San Francisco area, as well as the places I have visited in my travels.

Creative-Writing

My creative writing. Poetry, short stories, song lyrics, general essays that don't fit anywhere else in this blog.

(Note: Politics and In The News added as label categories, need to write explanations for this page.)


Full disclosure: I outsourced the grunt work. Microsoft’s AI sidekick, Copilot, helped me sort the umbrella label categories, alphabetize, and wrangle the formatting rules—because frankly, I was fried and done pretending I enjoy fiddly detail work.

Copilot’s not just a glorified calculator. It’s my instant tech support hotline, file clerk, and chaos translator. It knows Blogspot, Gmail, Microsoft Word, and other sites and programs, and all the hidden knobs that make those tools the most useful. When I say “on-demand,” I fucking mean it! This thing can alphabetize a meltdown and archive it before I finish my goddam coffee.

So if you’re wondering how this tag vault got so freakin' clean and savage, now you know: I delegated to the machine. And I have zero regrets.

So fucking shoot me.
