A quotation from Rothfuss, Patrick:
«««««
You see, there’s a fundamental connection between seeming and being. Every Fae child knows this, but you mortals never seem to see. We understand how dangerous a mask can be. We all become what we pretend to be.

A quotation from La Bruyere, Jean de:
«««««
No vice exists which does not pretend to be more or less like some virtue, and which does not take advantage of this assumed resemblance.
[Il n’y a point de vice qui n’ait une fausse ressemblance avec quelque vertu, et qui ne s’en aide.]

A quotation from De Levis, Francois-Gaston:
«««««
It is because gold is rare that gilding has been invented, which, without having its solidity, has all its brilliance. — Thus, to replace the kindness we lack, we have devised politeness, which has all its appearance.

Finally joined the great unwashed.
Tested positive for the vid last night.
N95 masks for three years, kids out of school for two years. Isolation. Vaccines and boosters. Doing the right thing and making sacrifices. The only chink in our amour was returning the kids to school this year. And that’s where it came from.
It’s fucking rampant in the schools but that’s inconvenient isn’t it?
The great #pretence continues and fuck the weak, those that don’t make it and the long termers - 1/2

Why not all #snitches come out of #pretence and #breakup with #Democratic #Party?
You'd just make the #case that this shenanigan's been there to fool #workers from their #livelihood.
Down with #conservatism, it's #gop, and whatever else they got under their #sleeve.
