This photo seems to be from another recent day (different outfit & nails), but Lana's friend Aleque Reid posted this photo of Lana with a painting she gave her along with a cupcake.

Currently, Lana Del Rey is celebrating her 35th birthday with her friends at her home in Los Angeles, California. Her friends attending her celebration are Jen Stith, Annie Tomberlin, Val Vogt, Aleque Reid, Jessica Buch, and Jess's boyfriend Kevin & his daughter Valentina. Happy birthday, Lana. Much love from everyone at LanaBoards

A proper photo of this day was posted by Jess in honour of Lana’s birthday (happy birthday Lana!! Xo)

It looks like in the past two weeks, she's unfollowed 3 accounts, 5 accounts she followed have deactivated, and she's followed 3 new accounts. Two of the people she unfollowed were personal pages of fans. The third was a poetry account called poetry.mode It seems the majority of her decline in people she's following comes from people whose accounts have been deactivated, which can be done voluntarily by the user or by instagram through a ban. The only super notable deactivated account is @subtlesoma, a clairvoyant who Lana gave a shoutout to in a post on May 2nd and was also protesting with Lana recently. Another deactivated account was a musician Johnathan Rice, who also deactivated his twitter. The other 3 deactivated accounts were personal pages of fans.

Earlier today, Lana was spotted by a fan while out shopping in Downtown Los Angeles, California. In the photos, you are able to see Lana's new sunny blonde haircolour & pink acrylic nails, giving major classic LG vibes.

Tobey is the boyfriend of her friend Tatiana, who has been part of her regular girl group for the past 2 years. So I suppose it makes sense that he's there x

Currently, Lana Del Rey is hosting a birthday party for her friends Jen Stith & her husband Mike Longenbach and John Booth at her home in Los Angeles, California. Also in attendance are her sister Chuck Grant and her other friends Val Vogt, Jessica Buch, Annie Tomberlin, Tatiana Dieteman and her boyfriend Tobey Maguire, and Jen's sister Mackenzie Stith. As a gift, Lana bought Jen a diamond "Lennon" nameplate necklace, which is the name of Jen's newborn baby. In the photo below, you can see her new lighter locks, which she had recently coloured by her hairdresser Tracey Cunningham. More photos:

Lana has closed her webstore for Blackout Tuesday and shared petition and donation links -

“I got u”

“ How does one begin to describe how greatly they desire equality for the world? I know lately a lot of people have been feeling like they can’t say the right thing online, their words get all twisted up when all they’re trying to do is help – but when it comes to this kind of madness, I just wanna say- it’s not about putting things into words perfectly. It’s just about having the desire to share what’s on your heart and to do what you feel you can. We’ve been choosing to peacefully protest amongst doing other things, and as always are hearts are with you and we’re standing with u, with our ears to the ground (no high horse preaching here) we’re super in the mix and always have been when it comes to issues of morality and equality. Also, a reminder - It’s in our nature to riot, it always has been. So for everyone who’s feeling nervous just know that this is a long-standing form of protest when it comes to inequality and that it’s a sign of change to come. Much love and blessings L”

The photographs on her story -

She deleted the original post and re-uploaded just the first video -

Lana posted. Per the second photo, it looks like she was at a protest yesterday with her friends Val & Tessa - http://instagram.com/p/CA2_uEaJnpU/

Same except I'm supposed to be taking a break from the internet to deal with myself and I was so good for over a month Telling myself I'm only gonna pop in for news tho and take it easy the rest of the time x

Oops, that wasn't intentional! I'm just so used to typing 2021 for any sort of news lately, it doesn't even feel like 2020 is a thing anymore. I'm not entirely sure that this year is even happening or is real x

New art video for the poem -

Here's the complete post transcribed: "Hey. So I don’t wanna beat a dead horse and I don’t wanna go on and on about this post thing, but I just wanna remind you that in that post, my one and only personal declaration I’ve ever made - thanks for being so warm and welcoming - was about the need for fragility in the feminist movement. It’s gonna be important. & when I mentioned women who look like me, I didn’t mean white like me, I mean the kind of women who other people might not believe because they think “oh, well, look at her, she fuckin’ deserves it” or whatever. There’s a lot of people like that, y’know? I just think it’s sad that the women I mentioned about, whether they sing about dancing for money or whatever, the same stuff by the way that I’ve been singing about chronicling for 13 years. That’s why I’m in that echelon, yes they are my friends and peers, contemporaries. The difference is when I get on the pole people call me a whore, but when Twigs gets on the pole it’s art. So y’know I mean I’m reminded constantly by my friends that lyrically there are layers and complicated psychological factors that play into some of my songwriting, but I just want to say y’know the culture’s super sick right now and the fact they want to turn my post, my advocacy for fragility, into a race war, it’s really bad. It’s actually really bad, especially when it that same declaration I was talking again about the idea of how important it is for me to make reparations to the Navajo community because they touched me so much in my youth and that I believe in personal reparations because it’s the right thing to do. I think what’s really sad is like as a personal advocate, as a girl’s girl, as somebody who wants the best for every culture, when Marianne Williamson was talking about reparations to the black community that never got done during the emancipation period. That was why I liked her, because I always felt that way. So I just wanna say to all of the other women out there who are like me – good girls, good intentioned, who get fucked up the ass constantly by the culture just because you say what you really mean - I’m with you and I feel for you and I know that you feel for me. Y’know I’m super strong, you can call me whatever. I’m sorry that I didn’t add one caucasian, 100% caucasian person, into the mix of the women that I admire. It really says more about you than it does about me. I think what’s interesting is that the very first time I decide to tell you anything about my life or the fact that I’m writing books that chronical that fragility, that 200,000 hateful, spiteful comments come in, and my phone number leaked, and comments like “you fucking white bitch…” It’s the opposite of the spirit of an advocate. It’s what causes fragility. But it’s not gonna stop me. Period. I just want to say nobody gets to tell your story except for you, and even if that means it’s kind of messy like this along the way, ‘cause unfortunately when you have a good heart it doesn’t always shine through, and you trudge on anyway. You make those personal reparations to heal your own family karmic lineage and the sickness of this country, y’know? Domestic abuse, mental health problems, this is the second epidemic that’s arising out of this pandemic. It’s a real thing. That’s what I was talking about. So, as ever I’m grateful that my muse is still here and that I have over the last 3 years been blessed to have the insight and ability to channel two books worth of beautiful poems. I think my new record Chemtrails Over the Country Club is special as well. I’m sorry that a couple of the girls I talked to who were mentioned in that post have a super different opinion of my insight and especially because we’ve been so close for so long. It really again makes you reach into the depth of your own heart and say “am I good intentioned?” and of course for me the answer is always, yes. I barely ever share a thing, and this is why, y’know? The reason why I’m making this post and I know it seems a bit much, right? But there are women out there like me who have so much to give and don’t quite get to the place spiritually or karmically where they’re supposed to be because there are other women who hate them and try and take them down, whether in my case it’s certain alternative singers or malintented journalists or men who hate women, yknow? But I’m not the enemy and I’m definitely not racist, so don’t get it twisted. Nobody gets to tell your story except for you, and that’s what I’m gonna do in the next couple books. So god bless, and yeah, fuck off if you don’t like the post." Nobody gets to tell your story from 'Behind the Iron Gates'

No big decisions to the lake or to the sea My only question

Sylvia - I knew what you meant when you talked about swimming in the ocean and leaving your patent leather black shoes pointed towards it while you swam It tickled you to leave them there It was the thought of a young child or of a lost fairy It reminded me of who I am That's why I'm now at this facility by the ocean & why I go barefoot and why I go calmly Why I leave my shoes up by the stairway I do it for you, and I do it for me Because having learned from others and from you, I learned there was a missing piece to finding existential calmness and domestic bliss to lead to peace You see, you cant fall in love with a man like Ted or a musician who sings about being free A woodworker doesn't a good man make if he wants his work to be on TV You have to separate the wheat from the chaff You have to be discerning It takes diligence, consequence, and other things to keep that sea from churning & to keep yourself from longing to let those painted waves take you under It isn't just the water black that makes the body plunder from high sea cliffs I know, my dear, I wish that I had been here or there I wish that you were here now if you're not now because who knows how these things work? Sylvia, Marilyn, Violet, Diana All of my kind women who came before me, blonde I dyed my hair black for you I turned my back on that black pond I swear I wont stop 'til I'm dead & here I am at 34, and what for? To bring my pair of baby patent leather shoes to turn them the other way Towards the sea cliff stairs, not at the ocean To bring them back up safe to the facility instead & I think of you as I walk to the 280 wooden steps dynamited into the cliffs 100 years before I let myself into room 2 and got undressed I was sunburnt Contemplative and sore & as I fell asleep by Gabapentin I lay my head on the pillow & stretched my hand out on the cool white linen and sang you a lemon melody I kept the shoes on the sill by the window seat in case you got restless and wanted to leave & I hugged you with my baby's breath and sang your spirit to bed The way I would have if you were my child or if I had children My Queen Anne's lace heart weightless on your little head

Yeah, I'm absolutely not going to be disrespected by you. I sent an apology to a user who had just joined and not even been around for a full hour because I did not want them to get the wrong impression of the site. If you are having an issue with what another user said to you, you can hash it out in the DMs and message me there if you think I need to intervene. We also have a report feature. I saw something I didn't like regarding how the site should be viewed as "learning from the bestest" with "hating Lana as a specialty" from another user, so as an admin and owner who disagrees with that mindset, I spoke up. Also, I did not delete any of your posts and have no idea what posts you're even referring to. If your posts were in fact deleted, I wasn't the one who removed them. If I ever edit another user's post, I always leave a mod & edit note informing the user that I did. Don't try to purposely insult me either for something that I did not even involve you at all with. Y'know, I've only been back to LanaBoards for the first time in over a month as I was in need of a serious break from the internet and all that it harbours, and I think if anything you just made it clear that I'm not ready to deal with all you guys and your drama again quite just yet lol. Probably not the best time for me to have popped back in anyway, but I knew a lot was going on and I wanted to stay updated with it. I knew my return now was only temporary due to the news, but frankly I just don't want to deal with this sort of attitude right now as it's not good for me at this moment, so I'm not going to. Behave yourself, kids. The rules are PM'd to every user upon joining and are also pinned under the Help & Support section if you would really like to review them. I appreciate the apology. I just didn't like a user's first impression of the site to be the reply you had posted, encouraging hate and stating to "learn from the bestest" in that regard. Just always be cautious of what you encourage to other users, and remember that first impressions matter! x
