pictures of blood on people on twitter. oddly proud of our reaction through. twitters full of people offering a place to meet/crash/rest via their house. local hotels taken kids in to help parents find them. good going Manchester!

This is messed up, this is my hometown where I was born and lived for a while as a child. The hospital gunman thing is apparently fake news or someone panicking over seeing an armed officer at the hospital. The explosion is supposedly originated from outside where I assume people where exiting.

controlled explosion happening any moment (they found another device)

and with that, off to bed (1:37am here).

Goddammit. People just wanting to hang out and listen to music, a pretty positive thing, and this.. goddammit.

Sadly, counting down the seconds until one of our resident xenophobes tries to pretend this is the collective fault of 1.7 billion people (to some extent, one already has) instead of waiting for real answers and accepting the likely complexity of the situation.

Or pretending there isn't a very real cancer within those 1.7 billion either.
