Why, no, I haven’t been posting much, how kind of you to notice. I’ve been absorbed in some editing projects, but I’ll be back presently. Meanwhile, Teresa explains medieval recipes for how to make good meat appear rotten, and posts to her own comment section that:

I find I care less than I used to about the hairsplitting fine points of a politician’s positions, and more about hearing his or her disintermediated voice. It isn’t just a matter of aesthetics. I believe there’s a largely unacknowledged divide between politicians who still believe we’re all members of the same polity, all citizens together; and those for whom I’m just a member of the voting audience, watching but not otherwise a participant in our regularly scheduled pantomime of democracy.
