Whenever I find out I’m trending, I have to immediately check if I’m alive! Then, I try and see if there’s a constructive dialogue to have on Twitter. Often there isn’t, but today there really WAS. (Thread)

Lana and Lena both giving reparations huh

[muffintiem]

cool thanks for acknowledging what the rest of us already knew, now how are you going to leverage that undeserved privilege to benefit writers/creators of color

[adb7]

Reparations might be the first time I've ever agreed with something she's said.

[zoaster_toaster]

The lesson now? Sit down. Shut up

Good advice to yourself, Lena.

[marzipanism]

I somehow doubt she's going to follow her own advice

[kidviciousdonna]

I truly feel she’s compulsively unable to

[sailormood]

Ah but she gave herself an excuse to not shut up

unless it’s to advocate for change for Black people

Clever girl.

[fernandocolunga]

isnt she also like a nepotism kid? or like her family is rich?

[burntxtoashes]

yeah her family is rich - she went to private school

[beaucadeau]

Her parents are two big deal artists/photographers iirc with connections to MYC art elite. She's rich and connected

[fernandocolunga]

thats why i thought but i guess she wont acknowledge that
