I refound a little flipbook of tutorials for drawing cats aimed at kids I was gifted when I was about 7. I loved this book and it influenced how I draw cats forever and ever. Thought I'd try going through the book again, following the instructions and then doing something else with it as my at-work quick doodles. Obviously my pitiful colour pencil skill ruins this, but I gotta do it to get any better!

And for this first 'beginner's cat', I couldn't help bit think of @silvers-starrway 's Shadow Cat Cafe AU, which I love and you should check out. Sketch and page of the book below the cut.

when i talk about being super-busy irl, rn it is:

i just submitted an application (required me to do a lot of shit) for an occupation-related license;

i am still in the middle of a work training program, including practical exams and on-the-job training;

i have actual, like, work shifts to do this month -- and this month ends with one of the busiest weekends of my work year;

ongoing chronic bout of The Genders, including:

...oh boy lol, gotta tell the endocrinologist i just met this winter that mm, yeah, so, when you met me i was still pretty happy with how things had been going, but now i'm interested in, like, changing my hormone dosage and/or adding additional medication... no, i'm still a he/him, this was mainly an internal realization and i am still figuring out how i want others to treat me (mostly the same)

i want to either shave my head or grow my hair out and i cannot decide which. very tempted by going back to the undercut, a little afraid of what it might reveal about my hairline

do i still rotate blorbo in my mind? yeah, when i have the time

Primus and Rung can't agree on Thunderclash.

They can, however, agree on Garfield.

will u give me stealing advice i always just hide things under my hands or scan only one thing at self checkout but need to up my game

Ok Im stoned rn so bear with me BUT Ive been lifting on & off for like a decade & never been caught so I do consider myself a bit of a expert on petty theft against big box stores(& I do mean petty, NEVER go over the felony amount in ur state in one trip & be careful bc some places like target will literally case build against u and let u get away until u have hit the felony limit, then they will prosecute. Srsly fuck target. their PTZ cans are insane & they have their own fucking crime lab plus very aggressive hands on LP. Only thing I ever take from there is sports bras that I wear out from the fitting rooms)

Anyways the best tip I have is do NOT linger around trying to look natural after concealing. It doesn't matter if you think leaving suddenly would look suspicious bc even if it does they won't have time to react. basically just getting in and out as fast as possible is the idea bc u don't wanna be in the store for long enough for them to A, notice u, & B, organize an ambush at the doors.

Obviously u must not look suspicious & don't dress in a way that's flashy or out of place (ex, don't walk into a suburban swanky mall looking homeless or the LP will be on u like glue). also if u aren't relaxed & able to act totally normal u absolutely will get caught sooner or later. I actually wouldn't recommend the self checkout swindle bc these days stores are catching on to that & placing cams there plus employees are instructed to watch them like a hawk. It's the single most popular way ppl steal.

detag only when u can do so easily, quickly & silently. it's not 100% necessary imo, the alarms going off isn't the end of the world just wear headphones & keep walking briskly (no running unless they start chasing)& it's very doubtful they will follow u off the curb, most LP aren't even allowed to. I have a hook and magnet but I almost never use them bc if ur caught with a those it's an automatic felony due to proof of premeditation, it brings the charge up to burglary. I'd much rather just beep when I leave.

ymmv with all of this tho, anon. Im a white woman, obv I would have a much more difficult time lifting if I were black bc LP racially profile ppl all the time

best mall store for walkouts? (preferably no detagging, just going in and getting out)

depends on what u want !! but i’d recommend stores like f21 (at least my location) the entrance is really far from the checkout so anyone who would come over to check if someone beeped would take longer than other places. also i’ve seen that lots of places don’t care abt beeping (again, in my location) i know that h0t t0pic, t4rget, and f21 at least didn’t care abt beeping when i went to the mall on black friday!

[bunnylifts]

what's your concealing method?

for small items i use the sleeve or phone trick, where u hide something behind ur phone and once u have a blindspot or while walking i just shove it in

or for big things i just go to a blindspot and put it into my bag LMAO or for clothing i just take more than the items i want and go to the changing rooms to detag :]

hope this helps!!

update! my magnet works for UO but i accidentally detagged what i didn’t want and trying to put the tag back in was a mess so i just put the tag under the stool, returned everything, and left 💀

(i forgot to say something! my magnet also worked at vs/pink after some jiggling but i didn’t take anything because they have the new updated touchpads that show what you bring into the dressing room. my magnet is too weak for the ink tags at höt töpïc but strong enough to get their regular tags off!)

I just finished detagging all my boy clothes and I have to detag my bras and I immediately lost all my serotonin :(
