I’m gonna watch the shit out of this.

That’s how New Yorkers feel when politicians, who point to New York as a Sodom and Gomorrah that deserves to be punished to its wickedness (coughTed Cruzcough), suddenly invoke 9/11 as a tragedy that must be avenged, even 15 years later. It infuriates me.

That was my second thought, too. I can’t even imagine :( I hope she has a good support network

Indeed. I hope she has a good support system.

She’s going to have a lot of trauma to grapple with, probably for a long time.

What in the actual fuck?!

Exactly. Muslim taxi drivers have been queueing up, volunteering to drive people home from Manchester Arena for free.

Cigarettes, alcohol, and self-loathing.

As Mr. Rogers said- look for the helpers. This type of event is so horrifying, but knowing that there are people helping gives me hope.

In this case, people said that because early reports said it might be a transformer or generator that exploded, not a bombing. Brits are fully aware that terrorists can be white—this, as far as I know, is the first terrorist attack in Manchester in 1996, and that was by the IRA.

It takes a very special type of coward to volunteer to blow up kids. I cannot even imagine the beyond fucked up mindsets that did this. Fuck them, fuck all of them that were involved.

“Huh, I never heard of that one.”

So. Smarter, more eloquent people than me have given condolences. I’m going to let them do that. I have a very specific bone to pick.

I can’t recall one actually happening in recent history

After the assassination of Jo Cox the week before the Brexit vote, it seems British elections are now going to be drenched in tragedy.

Obviously timing is not a coincidence.

This will have wide-reaching ramifications outside of the next few days, especially if it’s found to be terror-related.

I saw the original post on Tumblr a couple of years ago, and was like “That’s cool, it’ll never happen though”.

This Lord of The Flies cosplay was poorly organized and not very well thought out at all. I give it......1 feral young person out of 5
