Lana’s fondness of Morgan Wallen’s bro-country music actually worries me I get you can like whatever music you like but after giving it a listen it’s HOT GARBAGE (and not in a campy way!) let’s hope no influence creeps into her new music..it would be much more reassuring if she enjoyed Zach Bryan’s newest album (which was GREAT) but for now all I know is she really likes Morgan Wallen..

Annual report from National Center for Transgender Equality shows grim statistics by race and gender A new report reveals that 53 transgender people were killed while 32 were lost to suicide across the US in the last year, which saw a marked increase in anti-trans legislation and rhetoric. Notably, while these numbers from the National Center for Transgender Equality’s (NCTE) annual remembrance report have grown since last year, some experts say that the real number of lives lost is probably higher due to the difficulties in accurate reporting and data within the trans community. “It is no coincidence that we are seeing anti-trans violence rise at the same time as we’re seeing anti-trans legislation rise,” said Rodrigo Heng-Lehtinen, the executive director at the NCTE. “Every year from 2020 to today, we have broken the record … of anti-transgender bills ever introduced.” Heng-Lehtinen added that as “policy attacks grow, so do the physical attacks”. “It is because of society sending a signal about whose lives are considered important,” he said. The annual report, released every November, includes deaths from November 2022 through this month. It includes 53 violent deaths and 56 nonviolent deaths, 32 of which were by suicide. In both categories, trans women comprised the majority of deaths. “Even though hate crimes overall are decreasing in the United States, they are actually increasing when it comes to hate crimes against transgender people in particular and, even more so, hate crimes against transgender women,” Heng-Lehtinen said. According to the FBI’s national crime statistics released in October 2023, there was a 32.9% jump in reported hate crimes based on gender identity from the previous year. That jump is reflected in the report, with a disproportionate impact on people of color. While 64% of nonviolent deaths involved white people, 51% of violent deaths were of Black people, and 21 of the 53 violent deaths were of Black trans women. Heng-Lehtinen noted that these numbers are “obviously completely out of proportion to the general population” and emblematic of a “horrible storm of transphobia, meeting misogyny, meeting racism”. NCTE’s list includes 30-year-old Chyna Long, a Black trans choreographer who was killed on 8 October in a residential neighborhood in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. “Once she became who she wanted to be, which is Chyna, she lived in that and every day,” Long’s aunt, Alissa Davenport, told local news station TMJ4. “She lived to be Chyna and she was happy.” Davenport said the murder “took a piece of our joy”. “To know this was done to her, they truly don’t understand what they have done to our family,” she told the outlet. Alongside Long, many other Black trans women on the list were killed in acts of violence. In September, Bre’Asia Bankz was shot to death in Arizona, leaving behind a dog named Tiger whom she loved like “her baby”, according to a GoFundMe page set up by her family to pay for her funeral expenses. In August, DéVonnie J’Rae Johnson was killed in Los Angeles, where she was receiving gender-affirming medical care. She was an accomplished artist, and her family and friends say she wanted to give back to her community. In October, A’nee Johnson died in Washington DC after an assault that left her in a street. She was later hit by a passing car. “I want [people] to remember her for her zeal, her passion and her consistency,” Johnson’s friend Oluwaferanni Olarinde told local Fox affiliate WTTG. “How consistent she was with showing her face and making sure her energy was pure and lively.” Experts emphasize that the number of trans people killed by violence is almost certainly higher than what the report says. “It is very difficult to comprehensively identify everyone who’s been attacked like this,” Heng-Lehtinen said. Those difficulties include obtaining IDs that match a person’s gender identity and being misidentified by surviving family members. “Many transgender people, especially Black transgender people, are nervous going to the police for help and feel like they can’t report crimes,” he said. “It will be too risky or they won’t be taken seriously … all of that adds up to these cases and instances of violence being underreported.” Kris Tassone, who is policy counsel for the NCTE and head of the remembrance project, told the Guardian that “despite strides in vital record updates, more comprehensive efforts are needed to ensure accurate representation and recognition”. While international reporting efforts can be even more difficult, the report includes at least 434 worldwide total deaths of trans people – 336 of which were recorded as violent. Heng-Lehtinen believes it’s “incredibly important” to draw “attention to the violent deaths of trans people” but that it’s also important to remember that activists are still making progress. “There’s all these attacks happening, and that is galvanizing trans people and those who love us to get really involved. So people are fighting back,” he said. “They’re going out and doing a rally or testifying in a state legislature or getting other folks involved.” He points to more transgender candidates running for office at all levels, including the Delaware state senator Sarah McBride, the Nashville city councilor Olivia Hill, and the Montana state representative Zooey Zephyr, as well as increased visibility of trans people in the media – particularly in film. “There’s a lot of resilience here, and there’s a lot of really, really crucial political organizing happening to turn this tide back,” he said. The full 2023 remembrance report is available online and features photos, illustrations and memorials. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/nov/22/transgender-deaths-rememberance-report

Last month, Lana Del Rey stopped to meet a fan while out shopping in Los Angeles, California. “Old” pictures, but I just came across them and had to share since she looks so pretty x

I made a mockup for what I would LOVE to see for TFJ 15th anniversary (although it will probs not happen) I know it doesn’t look the best but I had to place every single letter one by one and make them join up for the tracklist bit and it took HOURS of hell.

I don’t see her release any « new » music before the Grammy’s. But the unreleased collection or cover’s release could be an « unofficial way » of campaigning…

I wonder when the first single from LDR10 will be released. She don't seem to be planning any time off next year to concentrate on the album. Is it almost finished? Or is it planned for a much later date? We might know more by the end of the year.

imagine these younger people at this festival now that lana is famous on tiktok

a morgan wallen collab would be the absolute worst decision for her to make, controversies aside, from what i've heard, his music sounds like hot garbage and collaborating with such a basic, mainstream, commercialized country artist who's hardly actually country, and who's also known for saying the n-word, would be a very embarrassing look for her, she could do so much better

I'm 99% sure that Stand By Your Man cover will be on LDR10. She sang it on the tour all the time like she sang For Free on The NFR! Tour. And it somehow suits her current Americana aesthetic too. We'll see, maybe it's on American Standards & Classics.

part of me would loveeeeee for the next album to have a proper full blown 'era' with multiple music videos, loads of tv performances and a billion photoshoots ....but then another part of me loves how lana just doesn't bother with traditional popstar stuff and instead picks and chooses when she wants to join in w/ all that jazz

Lana Del Rey will be headlining Reading & Leeds Festival held at Bramham Park in Leeds, England on August 25th, 2024. She will also perform the previous day at the festival’s Reading location.

All Around The World On It Red Wine Girl Of My Dreams Overdrive Coming With Me Drinks More Where That Came From Owwww Rosita Street HQ Keep It Oh My God Somber Whatever CANDY.zip is this Kim mass in the room with us?

do i hear sad girl slander

The current artists that Lana listens to are never an inspiration for her music. She has always been inspired by classic artists and legends. She will NEVER make "country music" as horrible as Morgan Wallen.

We are probably getting some new music next year given Ocean Blvd will be 1 year and 9 months old. Blue Banisters was only 1 year and 5 months old when Ocean was fully released.

This fuckass photo.. they’ll never let go huh

She's doing Saturday Reading, Sunday Leeds https://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/reading-and-leeds-festival The way I've got to age 23 without having to brave either of these festivals I fear it might be the end of me

Mine is delivering Saturday, moving through the FedEx system but it’s taking ages.

Mark my words, besides Spain and the UK, she will perform in those European countries in 2024: Portugal, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Poland, Hungary, Switzerland, France, Ireland, Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Greece + another 2 UK festivals. I can also see her doing shows in Australia + New Zealand and Brazil/Argentina/Chile. Manifesting a concert in every continent and majority of the world's countries though! 🪄🔮🔥

was llooking through some old threads/topics (mostrly runors) and this is what i could gather, not really much but some stuff was new and interesting to me much talking about Elvis Presley Covers recording during BTD era some Balthazar Getty person sessions during lfl (that probably were never done) chuck and rob talking about some small stuff during UV times, have never seen this before possibly means nothing - but someone asked Dan Heath about that 2013 soundchek, that atp might really be just her freestyling and nothing more some (probably fake) lyrics, hot potato ones turned out real in the end im yet to explore "Lana thoughts" topic and some parts of "Random Lana Discussion Thread", to hopefully find somthing new and interesting that accidentally was swept under the rug

It’s the perfect season for a big announcement. Around this time last year OB was announced and I was OBSESSED with the title track. Australia dates??? Billie collab on her next album??? I think so

Lana Del Rey will be headlining Reading & Leeds Festival held at Richfield Avenue in Reading, England on August 24th, 2024. She will also perform the next day at the festival’s Leeds location.

When You Take Away Control / Not Hungry double single is COMINNNNG?!?!??( FROOTERS RISE

I love the self-produced Garageband MvS stuff, but we needed a 2006 prog-rock EP too Thank you for linking that demo, I haven't heard it since 2022 and forgot how much I loved it

Lake Placid is one of her best songs. So sad.

This song is pure magic

WHERE'S THE MASS LEAK PPL?

I kinda believe it, she's really inspired by Gwen Stefani (lyrics and titles) And I love it, I mean look at Crash

Today I will be calling my representatives in Congress and in my state to implore them to call for a permanent ceasefire! For any elected official who hasn’t yet called for a bilateral ceasefire at this point, this is their last chance - during this 4-day “humanitarian pause” - to show themselves to have any backbone or basic humanity. I’m sick of the non-response from the people I voted for. The silence is disturbing and I want them to make sure they know that.

1800 are in stock, so far no other store has restocked them so it's possibly leftover inventory.

I’m holding out on not buying the festival tickets because I just KNOW she’ll announce a London date right after I buy them, but I’m worrying incase she does just do the festival headliners and then leaves

Fred again and Lana on the same day

I love this woman to death but there’s absolutely no way I’m paying for travel, tickets, and accommodation to go to a sweaty festival where I’ll be miserable fingers crossed she announces London dates or anything solo in the UK, even something like Hyde park again would be amazinggggg

listing to you all known unleaked uv outtakes (from september 2012 - april 2014) tropico sound (september 2012 - july 2013) Earthquakes (final) Preacher Unknown Tropico Song If You Lie Down with Me og version and more songs made with barrie ultraviolence (october 2013 - april 2014) Angels Forever, Forever Angels (final) Hollywood (2013 Version) Fine China (final, rick nowels version) I Can Fly (og version) The Other Side (we don’t know the month but i’d guess it’s around this time) I Talk to Jesus (2 final mixes) rumored Trans-Am Elvis studio version as for dan songs, he made with her only 13 songs that were reported by mixing engineer, the ones on the album + money power glory his version (it makes 10), and the rest 3 songs he reworked but lana decided to discard his contribution on these songs, there are unleaked versions of pretty when you cry, guns and roses and i talk to jesus made by him

Omg purchased

Well the AB collab is easy to fuck up. Just look Azealia in the eye and she'll launch 8000 warheads at your social media accounts. Idk about Doja. She in her own world.

okaayyy lashes

i pretty much only listen to unreleased in the shower

it depends, sometimes i can get really fixated on a certain artist or even just a certain album (right now it's loveless by my bloody valentine) recently i've also found myself fixated on opal, also mazzy star, and specifically the lizzy grant music of 2007, honestly i find myself gravitated more towards her 2005-2007 work most but obviously i still love her most recent work and lately i've been obsessed with candy necklace who knows, maybe i'll find myself fixated on ultraviolence or something like that in the future, but regardless, her pre-fame, lizzy grant work is always an easy listen for me

For real, you put everything perfectly into word. He's making like fast food country 😭

got my finger on the detonator crazy girl shit gonna go spring breakers

We listen to Lana, we see her, we get her 100% without any effort. It's almost instantaneous. Her critics look at her, they listen to her, they can't grasp her in the least, and they embarrass themselves attempting to define what they do see. Look at narcissistic, fascist Anne Powers, complaining that Lana didn't carry herself the way Anne Powers believes she should as a female artist in the 21st century, didn't have the right political opinions, didn't have the correct vision and correct attitudes, as if Lana was Anne Powers, and not a completely different individual in her own right. Lana seems to have an unusually high level of people, especially in the critic class, that don't get her, but everyone who does get her loves her passionately. And the fact that Lana has a long string of dedicated admirers, some of whom are musical and creative legends—David Lynch, Joan Baez, Bruce Springsteen, Father John Misty, Courtney Love, the Weeknd, John Waters, Stevie Nicks—and they see and hear her, as we do, has to rankle. Obviously this has been a huge year for Lana; she won the war even if she lost a few battles.

Let the Light In has just become the most streamed song from this album. Who would have thought?

here is today's sleuthing escapade, i'm personally really happy i found these, archives of the original uploads of the paradise album trailer and the original bel air music video! they look SO good, the quality is noticable better, it's a shame they were privatized, they're honestly really cool and fascinating pieces of lana del rey media it should let you watch the video, if it doesn't allow you to when you first open the page, try refreshing the page PARADISE ALBUM TRAILER https://web.archive.org/web/20121007005414/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpJUm5C07_0&feature=relmfu surf noir BEL AIR ORIGINAL MUSIC VIDEO https://web.archive.org/web/20121108192041/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yq3yT8CkPzY
