War In My Mind

I love it. I'm trying to get all the DIY items so I can decorate my town before Halloween. Seems silly that most of the month I'll be decoration less otherwise

ANYONE PLAYING WITH THE SPOOKY UPDATE? I BEEN TTing

I agree it definitely sucks, but I just feel like if I were her, I would be like so sad that as an artist I'm constantly putting my work out there and all my fans care about is like the next thing. And yeah being a Rihanna stan is what has given me more sympathy for Lana. She commented once like 3 years ago on someone's instagram that the album was coming soon.

That's fine and true. But I think she posts stuff because she's excited and then she is held back by her managers who are like it isnt smart business to release and audiobook and a book and an album within two months of one another. Especially since the audiobook and book got pushed because of S&S asking to publish it (taking it from an independent project to a publisher project). But I don't think posting things on instagram immediately means we deserve them either.

jesus yall are relentless for cocc. Lana feeds us an album every year and is giving us two poetry books within a year of one another and an audiobook. Show some fuckin respect to Rihanna fans whom she let die of starvation.

Love the blank pages at the end, with lines so the reader can write some poetry

yeah ok, meanwhile im waiting for UPS to drop my copy off today. If I wanted cocc, yeah I could probably go out and get one. Because I'm what? sickening.

i literally have no idea what this means

lana loves committing hate crimes. not 2020 with the region timed releases

Damn im so excited. I actually love the poems of Violet. They be inspiring me to write an analysis of some of them.

I'm actually excited for the book lol she said they're'd be more poems than the audiobook right?? or am I hallucinating ?? If we get any music before the release of the physical violet I'd be pleasantly surprised!!

It definitely feels more like an album, where witness felt a lot more everywhere.

Nervous? I'm never nervous

This video is my internal monologue, this is what my mind goes through when I'm in a zoom lecture

Everyone who stans lana: please stop posting about it, we're so tired Lana: *posts another update* Us:

Many artists collab without ever meeting in person. Nicki Minaj recorded her verse on doja C*t's single without ever meeting her.

No, the truth is she posted that publicly for everyone. Fans and non-fans have and will continue to read that post. If she wants this to be read by everyone, she must also accept that not everyone will support her, especially because the post was not well-written. Yes, true fans know she wasn't trying to be problematic (I don't think she was trying to be problematic), but this wasn't a post sent out to fans only, she posted it publicly on instagram, to everyone. And the truth is that it was poorly worded and written with poor choices. Celebrities have always needed to be held more responsible than our average joe, because they are not like the average joe. As a celebrity, she has the responsibility to be better, and the resources to know better. I love Lana, and I will continue to listen to her music, but we also need to understand that we can learn from criticism.

username checks out

it's not that we want an apology. It's that we want her to see that the reasons people were upset were valid, because they were... Even if her post was genuine (which I believe it was), the truth is she namechecked 6 women of color without actually being aware of those specific women's histories of being highly criticized. Their music has been and continues to be criticized. As someone who has unconditional fan support, she should know that fans are not critics. And thus number 1's do not mean, unconditional acceptance. Her refusal and doubling down is a slap in the face, because she's refusing to see the merits of these arguments. If she had let it be, she might have avoided needing to apologize but this second post is really really disappointing.

im gonna take this time to clarify things by contextualizing this with the title of my think piece: "The Amazonian rainforest is dying"

happy birthday. it's funny beyoncé, khelani, nicki minaj, doja cat, and ariana grande have all had birthdays recently... but can we agree to celebrate your birhtday even if it is unlike their birthdays? All birthdays matter

she single-handedly cancelled our covid19 conversations

This literally doesn't prove anything... The fans are still trash?? You know how I know?? I'm sending this from a dumpster!!

yet here you are @expandableclitoris

I have to journal about this tonight henny Look for my thinkpiece in the morning, clowns.
