Ultra Violet

i'm sorry but that reminds me of a happy meal toy 

The Portals perfume release is... interesting to say the least. When we started being told a perfume was coming, I was hoping to see something similar to the Crybaby perfume that, while a bit niche, is over all an appealing blend with a simple package you can tuck into a drawer if you don't want to display it. I know smaller and more affordable bottles are meant to be coming out next spring, but it just leads me to think this release was being pushed out before it was ready and rushed to completion.

Another thing I've started to see now that people are receiving their packages is that even if they are over all happy with the product in terms of the packaging, they're disappointed with the fragrances themselves. u/blue_cookie_cutter on reddit said the fragrances only lasted for around ten minutes on their skin, and had a plasticy overtone after drying down that they compared to a c*ndom. I do hope that this is just a case of an individual receiving a poor product, possibly from winter temperatures during transit, but if this does turn out to be a consistent issue it's disappointing that this is another instance of low-quality merchandise being pushed by Melanie that probably won't be spoken on.

and all the perfume bottles look like an4l plugs.......... melanie girl this ain't you.

I Scream (2015) is THAT song!

playing my portals vinyl again, its not as bad as the last couple plays but its still so quiet and low-pitched for no reason
 
edit - and honestly sounds kinda slow?
 
edit 2 - we all already knew melanie self produced Void, but did we know she self-produced Light Shower too? i just saw it in the credits of my vinyl insert

Genuinely, it's one of the last songs I'm desperately wanting ATM 

It looks so cheap and ugly?? For $200+.. I do not understand anything about this fucking era at all anymore

Omfg--

I don't know what's in those mushrooms she's been taking, but no. Just.. holy fuck, no.

And the Dollhouse EP version of Intervals. A need.

 
she peaked during DH era tour I fear 

When Gold Diggin Love leaks and I can fully retire my Stan card 

theyre even here on Lanaboards!

interesting

The way her voice in the spotify artist message is pitched I'm tired of this!.

Agreed, like Israel not cooperating with the US advising them against illegally colonising the West Bank and using unlawful violence against Palestinians for years

Enough people believe them no matter how much evidence against them shows up anyway Netanyahu said from the start it was essential for the US to believe they have no choice but to destroy Gaza. Nothing else matters so long as the US keeps allowing them and supporting them with money and weapons

I also have followed this youtuber for years, he is a student of language. Often touring highly "dangerous" places to document true life there.
He has been to so many countries, and his work is truly eye opening.
Here he is being harassed in Jerusalem

This is an easy-to-digest mini-history of questions asked about Palestine!

god bless this girl. have been following her since the beginning of the war and she lost everything, except her cat! Who miraculously survived the bombardment of their own home!!! She is so strong. Her face and story is just one of millions. But she has been on my mind a lot, i fear its because she was one of the very few out of Gaza given a platform. But nonetheless, she is pretty much my age. My cat is my everything. It shakes me to think of this as a reality. For ANYONE!
 
 
there is a part at 7:22 where she says
"i dont know if you can see it now, but this is what it means to be Palestinian. to be destroyed over and over, and to just rebuild again and again."
What does it mean to be a Zionist?

Yes I was surprised to also see the hostages of terrorists being released from Gaza are in good health, have been receiving their medications, given food, water. Even waving goodbye to their captors.

While Israeli prisoners have been subject to literal torture, detention without trial, abuse, r*pe, and starvation. All while most of them are women and children......................................... 
 
I wonder if the released Israelis and other foreign citizens are being sequestered and silenced once they return to Israel/Egypt because there is something more going on beneath the surface 
 
 
 
orrrr just Maybe its because when there WAS a video published by Hamas of a captive, Blaming Netanyahu for everything, it didn't look to good on Israel's part to the rest of the world, who might not know he was being investigated for War Crimes WELL BEFORE the events of this last month took place. 
 
 
 
 
idk, seems like theres soooo much we dont knowwwwww, and israel does 
 
why they refuse to back up their claims with evidence?  who knows

Agreed, like Israel not cooperating with the US advising them against illegally colonising the West Bank and using unlawful violence against Palestinians for years

And the attacks on Gaza resume
