Beautiful Loser

My sister in law’s vote didn’t count in the last election. It got “lost”. She called several times asking where it went but nobody did anything. She won’t stop voting of course, but it’s not exactly encouraging people to vote if 1) you need to register to vote (you should be able to automatically), b) your vote gets lost and c) making it hard for minorities who can’t take a day off of work to go and vote.I agree, Trump needs to get out of the White House because as long as he’s there, all those fucking racists will think it’s okay to be racist. Nobody’s stopping them. But like others have commented, the Democrats’ candidate doesn’t look too inspiring... but he can’t be worse than Trump I think.

Yeah, I didn’t connect the dots between the looting video and George on her stories either. I had it on low volume when I watched her story and didn’t catch everything but like... if she really thinks stealing things is a problem bigger than protesters getting seriously hurt and POC getting treated unfairly every day... I... I don’t even know anymore, Lana. I guess I’m going back to being disappointed.

If I didn’t want some albums anymore, I would just donate them to a second hand store or sell them and donate the money instead of smashing them. But I guess it wouldn’t look as impressive on social media. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Friendly reminder that posts in the threads should be in English. Maybe you guys can edit a translation before (if?) you get a warning point.

And that was not something he should’ve done. But he deserved a fair trial for that and not an execution in the streets by several police officers who decided to take his life before a judge had a say.

It feels like the last few pages have been the same comments going ‘round and ‘round in circles, I think we know pretty well what everyone’s opinions are on this matter by now. Maybe it would do us some good to take a break and come back later before things escalate.

@ This is pretty long so I’ll keep it under a spoiler.

She can start this week then!

Also, it feels like she’s been trying to be more aware of the world around her since she dropped LFL (When the world was at war, the Trump hexing, Looking for America), I actually expect her to say or do something this time. If she’s staying silent because she doesn’t want to look too involved in politics, well... Today is not the day to stay silent.

Of course I don’t know what she’s doing or not doing. If she has donated or signed a petition, great. But I don’t think it would hurt to let her fans know that she has done something to help the BLM movement, the worst thing that could happen would be that people wouldn’t believe her after last week, but honestly, that shouldn’t bother her if she knows she’s done something to help. Like others pointed out already, she can take time to make multiple posts explaining her “question for the culture” message, promote stores and send DMs to Instagram moms... Why can’t she take a minute to, say, I don’t know, post a BLM picture and a link to petitions or donations in the caption? It’s the least she can do.

She could sign petitions for other problems in the world too, but this is something that’s going on daily in her own country. I think it would hit her closer to home than something she might not even be aware of in a foreign country. There’s no way she has missed news of the recent days and what’s going on in America right now.

Yup. The vinyls I own are Lana and Hozier’s latest album, they’re all colored except for BTD. Do you own a portable speaker?

I drew Flayn again

I think she’s been looking very happy up til the last few days after her insta post.

She better release Yosemite this time.

I think it will be, in the sense that it’ll be very stripped down. She said at the Grammy museum that she wanted to keep the “Hope” theme and steer away from NFR.

Time to bring back my timeline to my signature.

I expect the sound to be similar to NFR (and hope), isn’t that what she said earlier?

Don’t hope for too much, she’s (mostly) voluntary quarantined. Chuck has been with her several times and will probably snap a picture in the backyard a la Mariner’s cover art. Just in case Lana will tease us with snippets and songs for a year again.

I’m three hours late but YAY for an album title!! I hope she’s feeling somewhat okay, she’s been through a lot the past few days.

I got NH yesterday for my birthday and I’m glad to have met Gulliver and Blathers already. :’D

I listened to this last night before going to sleep and I agree, it’s one of the, if not the, best poem she’s written. I’m suddenly genuinely excited to listen to the rest of her audio book, I had almost zero interest a year ago but this did something to me. I hope we can hear them all soon.

Omgggg just let her be, live you own life. That honestly sounds stalker-ish.

What I’m personally confused about is why she would even take this public. Her point in the original post was badly formulated and people would probably try to correct her even if she hadn’t mentioned those names at the beginning of the text. To me, it seemed that this has been something that’s been on her mind for the last days or week, something that she’s been trying to figure out on her own but failed to come to a conclusion which is why she decided to ask a “question for the culture”. If I were her, I would’ve reached out to friends, maybe my (her) sister since they seem to be close and like my managers to know what they think, so have someone to exchange thoughts with. Just so I wouldn’t have to keep those thoughts to myself and “hide” my feelings. To say, “I want to go back and do this again, too”. Why post it on her public LDR account? It wouldn’t have been great to post it on her private Honeymoon account because fans follow her there too, but she surely must have another private one.I guess she wanted to post it so to kind of start a debate in the music industry, surely to get support from fans, but this backfired greatly in a way I don’t think she predicted at all. I don’t know, maybe I’m getting old too, but I didn’t try to defend Lana on Twitter at all because I figured that’s not my job really; those are her words and she’s the only one who can defend herself and explain her thoughts. It’s not up to me. And like I said, if I were her, and if I had the power to, I would just say that those women inspired me to also be brave and write songs with sexual, submissive, heartbreaking lyrics and go back to my roots instead of bringing it all to social media.
