Sometimes I feel vaguely guilty because I never post about politics, but then I look at the state of the world (I thought learning Russian, apart from being interesting, might be useful; I hardly suspected we were in for the next Cold War...), the stupidity of our current election campaign (How can a party that has been in government for decades have election posters saying 'Es reicht!' ('Enough!')? That's either a tad schizophrenic, or assuming voters have no brain whatsoever; probably both.), and I give up in disgust, fight the urge to delete everything I've written, more often than not give in & delete, feel guilty about my cynicism for a while, because I do recognise how harmful this kind of attitude is, and then let myself get distracted by something pretty & shiny.

So here's Tilda Swinton being gorgeous on my desktop instead. /escapism
