i'm sad to say this, but she definitely falls somewhere among "minimization" & "veiled racism" in this pyramid.
 

 
you (general you) have to understand that racism doesn't just happen out of malicious hatred, it can be born out of ignorance and/or sheltered privilege  - and i definitely think that's her case. if so many poc are saying she's racist, it's for a reason & we (this we applies to white people) need to primarily listen to their voices here.
 
any white person is racist, or has been in the past - how could we not, we were raised in a system that upholds and teaches white supremacy. unlearning that is something we have to actively do all our lives, and the most disappointing thing for me re: lana is not that she falls into some of the behaviors above out of ignorance, but that she refuses to listen and learn and keeps reacting/responding from a haughty defensive place while making the same mistakes over and over.

totally agree, "patent leather do over" is magnificent and i can't wait to see how her writing as developed since the poems in violet (some of which are def a few years old). i am HIGH KEY excited and here for any of lana's poetry stans to get hype with!

So, now I've listened to the album multiple times and I absolutely love it. It truly is an exquisite album. Some quick thoughts on the tracks:
willow - love the mood, love the chorus, the melody, everything
champagne problems - exceptionally beautiful and sad, like I mentioned before, the piano reminded me of New Year's Day
gold rush - absolutely sublime, the chorus is so majestic
tis the damn season - flawless, relatable
tolerate it - transcendent, the way she sings the beginning of the line 'I wait by the door like I'm just a kid' makes me feel things
no body, no crime - really catchy, love the mood
happiness - extremely sad and personal and beautiful
dorothea - love the melody
coney island - love the instrumental and melody, they sound amazing together
ivy - heavenly, sweet, reminds of invisible strings
cowboy like me - love the mood 
long story short - very relevant, encapsulates the past few years of my life
marjorie - very sweet 
closure - amazing, love the glitches, again, very relevant, the narrator could be both me and someone I once knew, singing to me
evermore - sad, beautiful, hopeful, the beginning piano reminds me of exile 
She delivered as always 

oh my god Liverpool FC is the only sporting team I follow and I used to have that LFC scarf picture as my homescreen.. this is a literal dream come true omg???? this is my dad's favourite song too maybe he'll like lana after this

You'll Never Walk Alone is to COCC what Season of the Witch is to NFR. Totally unrelated to the album but a palate cleanser for the era

i'm sorry but i am so tired of people saying she's pregnant everytime we see her with a little bit of stomach fat, it's totally normal for a woman to have a little "bump" it doesn't mean she's pregnant, we have a digestive system and a reproductive system, we eat, we bloat, our weight can fluctuate... it's totally normal and when people see that and theorize a woman is expecting it's honestly super weird, we need to normalize the idea that a woman can have a little bit of stomach fat and it doesn't automatically mean she's expecting, it's just strange

!!! This too. Lana has always worn a ring on her lefthand ring finger as an accessory, since the beginning of time. Literally:

 
 
 
Anyway, this is getting off topic, but I just had to speak out about how creepy that post was x

You’re definitely not alone lol! I feel like it’s also such an invasion of boundaries and encroaches upon women’s privacy too. I know it’s not always mal-intented but it’s still a very uncomfortable thing to experience on the whole and oftentimes, commodifying for the women being asked the question. Go off, queen!

This reminds me of the most humiliating moment of my life when I took my friend to get a facial with me, and she asked my facialist if she "had a little playmate on the way" and pointed to her stomach, in which my facialist replied, "nope, just eating lots of cheeseburgers." I was so mortified from the second-hand embarrassment, I never went back.
Anyway, point is, I always find it quite weird/creepy when people try to speculate if a woman is pregnant or not. Especially since we've had these weird Lana pregnancy rumours every year since 2015.. Like... ???? Give it a rest.
Sorry for popping off here, but it just makes my skin crawl. Maybe I just really do hate babies that much that I don't even want to talk about the possibility of more coming into this world, but I feel like I'm not totally alone in my opinion that speculating women's pregnancies, especially women you don't know, is weird lol x
