    i apologize if i misunderstood your previous posts, your heart is in the right place and ultimately i believe most of us have our hearts in the right place, we might just not always agree or understand the ways we go about it, but regardless, we're all trying to make a difference and do the right thing, and it feels especially important to make different choices when so much is happening in our world, wars, conflict, division, and also the threat of the climate crisis, thankfully, more people are becoming aware of these things, but it seems like our world and our society is still so blind to everything happening and although i feel hopeful, i also very discouraged because it just seems like everything's getting worse and not enough people are really aware of it, but i do think it matters to be educated and to make better choices regarding where you spend your money and who you financially support if you're able to, and also educating others, and just being aware in general, i would agree that when something as awful as a genocide is occurring, we should be more compelled to speak out, and to care, we just get so wrapped up in our own lives, but we should care about others, especially those who's voices are silenced or stifled

    I don’t think the average person needs to be aware of the boycotts or is a bad person from buying from Starbucks or McDonalds. I don’t even think Lana necessarily should know about the boycotts. Like I said before, the selfie is separate from my feelings, I felt this way before the selfie.
    Especially with Israel-Palestine, the media and the government is so incredibly biased that if one important celebrity spoke out, they could have an enormous impact. I do think that celebrities are very ignorant and if they spoke out, they would probably say the wrong thing. But I just think that in an era where pro-Israel propaganda is so deeply ingrained in American society, any attention would be good attention. I do think that when a genocide is happening, people with power should try to acknowledge it.
    I wanna end this by saying that I really admire you, you’re such a kind and articulate person on a website that can sometimes lack that. I appreciate having a back and forth. The fact that you’re educating yourself on Palestine now is very admirable and not something many would do.

    the boycott divest and sanctions movement (which has been around for ages) has been saying for years long lists like this are counterproductive. they say an organized focus should be specific companies that blatantly hurt palestinians or have factories in israel. they have a very selective list on their site- including HP, chevron gas stations, and a makeup brand called ahava. Those boycotts have worked- i think sodastream closed an israeli factory because of it and ben and jerrys changed their position. i think they played a part in lana (and the other artists) cancelling israeli concerts.
    BDS did mention mcdonalds as an “organic boycott”- meaning they didn’t officially call for it but the common people started. They support it in specific areas that have called for it which i don’t know if LA/Cali has but I’m assuming so since it seems like an American movement to boycott McDonald’s. But McDonald’s is not high on BDS’
     list of boycotts. 
    also, BDS movement hasn’t breathed a word about starbucks so i think anyone advocating for boycotting them for Palestine needs to reflect on why they’re doing something bds has specifically said not to. If you’re boycotting starbucks for labor and union reasons or exploitation of farmers (local coffeeshops all the way!) that’s great but it’s not about Palestine!

    My point isn’t that she should be expected to know about the boycotts. I’m trying to say that she should use her many resources to educate herself about Israel-Palestine and make some positive change rather than remaining ignorant. I think the issue is a lot bigger than this one selfie, which I don’t actually care about. Schumer and Schnapp are separate issues, they’re not going to change or educate themselves. But I think if Lana, Taylor, Beyonce, etc. did they could cause some genuinely
    positive change. Obviously Lana isn’t necessarily as famous as Taylor or Beyonce, but she still has a huge platform. Personally, I think it’s the responsibility of celebrities to try to do good. That doesn’t necessarily mean researching every place that is being boycotted, but it does mean educating themselves and using their platform to speak out about what Palestine is experiencing. I’m not really mad at Lana, I still love her and her music. I just think that celebrities in general should use their platforms for good. This criticism I made of her doesn’t equate to hate, it’s just something I hope she can improve upon. But obviously, it’s a much wider issue than just Lana.

    To me, the issue isn’t Lana buying McDonald’s this one time, it’s her continued ignorance. She has the time, money, and any other resources to make a genuine positive impact yet she chooses to remain ignorant. She can’t keep saying that she has good intentions while making no effort to demonstrate this.

    When has Lana actually cared about making money when it comes to her music? If she wants visuals she'll do visuals even if it's not necessarily the smartest promotional thing to do. Her label has given her virtually unlimited creative freedom. Even if the label's annoyed that the CN video barely made any money, Lana is more popular than ever and one failed MV is nothing in comparison to her current success.

    The ICJ has delivered its interim decisions:
    Israel must take all measures to prevent any acts that could be considered genocidal - killing members of a group, causing bodily harm, inflicting conditions designed to bring about the destruction of a group, preventing births Israel must ensure its military does not commit any genocidal acts Israel must prevent and punish any public comments that could be considered incitement to commit genocide in Gaza Israel must take measures to ensure humanitarian access Israel must prevent any destruction of evidence that could be used in a genocide case Israel must submit a report to the court within one month of this order being given https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/world-68097640
     
    While disappointing that the ICJ has not ruled for an immediate ceasefire; the positive news is that they do believe Isreal has a case to answer and they have in effect, taken the case on!

    I know I'm late to this but I'm so so angry. Any song on Midnights does not hold a candle to Fingertips, Kintsugi, DYKTTATUOB, etc. Ocean Boulevard is a generation-defining album and I'm so sick of Lana being belittled by condescending critics who make no effort to understand her artistry. Album of the year is supposedly judged by artistic excellence yet Lana pushed the boundaries with every aspect of this album and is consistently ignored while Taylor made 1989 2.0 and was rewarded. If any other artist besides Miley won AOTY I would've been less upset, but there's absolutely no reason for Taylor to win besides the Grammy's knowing she would announce something and give them more views.
    Not only that, but Lana should've 100% won SOTY. A&W is one of if not her best song, and it sweeps every other song that was nominated. I know I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up but literally everyone has begun to recognize Lana as the visionary she is, even Fantano admitted he was wrong about her music, except the Grammys.
    Maybe next year Lasso will be nominated and she'll beat out Taylor's new album, but I think she should stop submitting. The Grammys need her, she doesn't need them. The fact that their critics still judge her by her SNL performance shows that they don't care about music.

    "Regardless of anyone’s view on Lana Del Rey’s music, whether you like it or not, there is no way to deny that it has been a pioneering and industry-changing force. Without her, there would be no Boygenius to win ‘Best Alternative Album’, and no Billie Eilish to win ‘Song of the Year’. There would be no Gracie Abrams, The Last Dinner Party, Katie Gregson-Macleod or Etta Marcus, with a whole lineage of exciting up-and-coming names coming directly from the Del Rey school of music.
     
    Regardless of opinions, there is no reason why an artist as defining and vital as Lana Del Rey should be snubbed so routinely while her impact is so visibly on display at every ceremony." - Far Out Magazine
