Is it just me or is 'our website is unavailable in Europe due to GDPR' a complicated way of saying 'our data collection and management policies suck?'

I talk a little about medieval sauces and saucemakers, and then make a non-medieval bechamel.

covid, masks
Told people on the train yesterday to put their masks on. I hate having to do that.
Me: Masks.
Them: (holds up mask, demonstrating they have one.)
Me: (resignedly) On.
Them: (slowly puts mask on)

So I got a commission to create a dice tower based on the Ghostbusters firehouse for 3d printing. Was a really fun project so if anyone else wants something similar hit me up!

Thousands of San Franciscans took to the streets to protest police violence. In response, police snooped on them with a vast business district camera network. They violated the city's new surveillance tech ordinance. So we sued. https://www.eff.org/press/releases/activists-sue-san-francisco-wide-ranging-surveillance-black-led-protests-against

COVID-19, food, sex
Clutched my pearls hard when I saw people having a conversation about going to a restaurant with Tinder dates, until I realized that sitting maskless 3 feet across the table isn't the only bodily fluid they hope to be exchanging and then I was just angry anyone was in a restaurant at all again. Like, go meet outside before deciding to fuck and keep your exhalations out of the general public. And if you didn't end up liking them but still went to a restaurant? You got played.
Replying to myself, now with hashtags!

I both started and finished my bike ride in the dark this morning. Fall is officially here.

food
Peanut sauce, hard boiled egg, cabbage, carrot. Not pictured - the rice noodles underneath it all.

I thought the earth remembered me,
she took me back so tenderly,
arranging her dark skirts, her pockets
full of lichens and seeds.
I slept as never before, a stone on the river bed,
nothing between me and the white fire of the stars
but my thoughts, and they floated light as moths
among the branches of the perfect trees.
All night I heard the small kingdoms
breathing around me, the insects,
and the birds who do their work in the darkness.

Why would you call it Neapolitan when you could've called it "thrice cream"? 🤔
I am currently considering the ethics of cutting off communication with someone because they don't trim their emails when replying.
In the interest of science, I repeated the experiment again today, and am happy to report success!
For future reference - if I put heavy cream in a jar to take to work, the cycle ride with it in my satchel is sufficient to whip it.
For the #medievalist onomastic crowd -
The Tour de France is clearly a bourgeois event: when Christian Prudhomme had a positive Covid test, he was replaced by Francois Lemarchand.
