stop oversharing on tnglr

stop posting your exact amounts $ from 🧬

stop posting screenshots of your customer service chats

stop posting the exact items you got in your order

stop posting emails the company sent you

remove your exif data

never use your real name

never reuse a username you use somewhere else

never post any pets or family members

never. post. your face.

dont mention any other accounts you have anywhere on the net

switch up your typing style / vague any locations

blocking people wont stop people from seeing your info on a site with no private account features

be as vague as you can. u can be informational w/o sacrificing discretion. don’t be stupid. always assume you’re being watched.

PSA:

This sounds really fucking shady

They message and claim to “specialize in products specifically for lifting” but I don’t buy it. See here:

⭐️When you buy a magnet or hook from Wish/.com it’s for thousands of purposes and they don’t really fucking care. This place, the only people that would buy from them are lifters because we’re the only people aware of the store—they have a database of lifters personal info. I smell bullshit.

⭐️They appear out of nowhere, only selling like 4 products lifters buy. They message plenty of lifters to get the word. Using the shoplifting/lifblr hashtag on their post so anyone that sees it can look at notes and find nothing but lifters. It’s a floodgate for antis.

⭐️Nobody helps shoplifting. Especially not online businesses nobody wakes up and says “I’m gonna open a store for shoplifters to buy their equipment”.

y’all when u realize wearing a mask is going to make you less recognizable on cam/to employees, hides any nerves you may be showing on your face, and also provides a new concealment spot for y’all crafty lifters,,,,,

tips for michaels? ty!

Oh my goodness, I have no idea how old this ask is, I didn't notice it until now! I'm sorry! But hey, I'm planning on going to mîchæls tomorrow, so I could definitely spare some tips!

Note that, of course, every location differs greatly, and I can only really give you some vague tips to help with the general gist of the store. As often is with the art of lifting, you'll have to improvise the rest.

I suppose I'll start with your method of concealing. If you do on-body, well, there's not much to say, but if you prefer to use a bag, I'd recommend you find yourself an artsy looking one, or take a regular one and cover that thing in pins. The easiest way to blend in in an art store is to seem crafty.

I don't know much about how michàēls is in the way of tagging, as anything I've ever nabbed from there has been untagged, but of course, double check anyway. Better safe than sorry.

And, make sure you avoid cams. The one near me has a pretty good amount of them, spread out throughout the store, except for in the discount section in the back. There will usually be employees who check that area out every now and then, though, so if your store is similar, be careful of that. Mostly though, just keep an eye out for other shoppers or for employees. I'd also recommend you get a basket and put some items in there, including one's you don't plan to lift. Either ditch it before leaving or hand it off to an employee and politely ask them to take care of it, whichever you feel would be best.

Just be as wary as you can, try to blend in, and if you don't plan on buying anything, try to be quick. Have a question or a random item in mind (that you don't plan on lifting) in case an employee asks if you need anything, bc I always think saying that you're just browsing is sus.

Tip!

Lately I’ve been watching vlogs on youtube along the lines of “What it’s like to work at [store]” or “Why I quite my job at [store]”. These vlogs are sooo insightful and worth watching!

[lift-your-spirits-x]

Normal People: The reviews for this store say employees are very attentive and the shelves and racks are always neat and organized. I’ll definitely go there!

Liftblr: The reviews for this store say it’s understaffed and the store is always a disorganized mess. I’ll definitely go there!

for the anon who asked me earlier

a visual guide of a hiding method i use that i haven’t seen on tumblr yet 

nice purse, lexi! sorta looks like u need a tan and a manicure though… too bad u cant lift them

ok. so this purse has lining. and some felt marker stains ((sorry))

so. the lining separates from the purse itself. i wonder how this can come in handy.

yup. just innocent-looking seams from the side of the purse’s lining. 

a hole?!?!? artfully ripped from the side seams?!?!?!

and hiding items inside the hole so it lays inbetween the purse’s shell material and the lining! good for concealing items and magnets, and if anybody checks the inside of your purse, well its empty! nothing there….

The trade off during hot girl summer is having less fabric and layers for c0ncealing 😪 I need new skincare and I’m tryna save for a new apartment 😫

[lift-your-spirits-x]

Got my first MK

It was untagged and perfect 😍 store was high end, had no tags, no towers, unmammed dressing rooms, locked but they didn’t count etc.

Put it on my arm and walked out with it

ALTHOUGH conditions were ideal I was still careful!

Tips 1.) Dress for the store/shopping centre. (Don’t wear sweats and a baggy hoodie to a high end store)

2.) Confidence is key

3.) DON’T get greedy (I SO could have taken more than I did)

4.) Walk with an even pace. (Obviously if you “Gotta blast” do it

5.) Act like a normal shopper (Scan the area b4 you get there. Look arround

6.) DON’T TAKE TOO LONG UNLESS you are actually going to buy something.( Use cash not a card)

Extra.) Purse specific. If it’s untagged or you can untag it look at a few, pick one up, walk around and slip it on your arm, then go to dressing room and get u some. 😍

If you have any questions feel free to ask. I almost cried when I got the bag. Lol.

A bit of a warning:

According to LP chatter sites, many stores that had pretty much stopped apps due to Covid are resuming, this includes Tárgèt, Mèijers, Bèd-Bath-Bèyond, and several others. This means that many stores simply weren’t stopping lifters and now will, LP are HUNGRY to stop people, many of them are creepily manic about it and may even stop people that aren’t lifting just to get your fix.

Be incredibly cautious and wise in your lifting.

Remember that being fast and organized and prioritizing a small lift of needs vs wants is very important to not getting caught.

Be safe

hey everyone!

I work at a B&Ń and tonight I saw this in receiving! This basically explains the standards for placing RFID tags in books. As you can see, it’s only certain books that will be tagged, but it’s always good to check!

Also, be aware of the 20% off, 30% off stickers on the front of the books. In my location, these are almost always RFID stickers so remove everything you see! It won’t hurt to take off anything that could possibly make you beep at the door.

Thank you for reading! *mwah*

it literally says at the top of my blog that if you’re not a l1ft/ing blog or an ed blog that you will be blocked and still every single time I log in I have to go thru my new followers and block all the non-l1ft/ing and ed blogs ugh

[lift-your-spirits-x]

I just did that thinking thing!

Guys!!! i just got an idea im very excited about. plz let me know what u think of it

so what if all the lifters of tumblr got together and decided that for the entire month of december we will not lift anything for ourselves but we will donate everything we lift to people in need and charities. (u can still lift as gifts for ur friends or maybe a thing or two for urself as an xmas gift). think about just how many people in need will benefit. also since december is the month for xmas imagine all the kids who will get nice gifts they might not have been able to get before. December is also usually cold in many places (duhhh winter) so we could try to lift clothes that will help keep people warm like wool socks and long sleeved shirts and scarves etc. we can lift canned items from grocery stores and just everything we can to help people. 

im literally sitting in bed giggling and smiling out of excitement. i really want to do this and by december i will have my gold magnet and hook so i can make bigger hauls too :))))) wht do u guys think?

How would we find each other? A specific tag? Tagging on tumblr is a bad idea so idk

Okay so you know how everyone is talking about places were liftblr can go since tumblr is shit and I have a great idea and I never seen anyone share something about it. How about we all make Private instagram accounts and have that be new liftblr like we can make Private accounts, we can post stories at only stay up for 24 hours we can make permeant posts we can @. And tag other lifters we can make story high lights instagram stories at stay up forever and you can make multiple of them and we can make group chats and single dms and there's cool instagram stickers for like asking each other questions on are stories and we can comment on each other posts. Like instagram liftblr should be the NEW THING like we can all have private accounts we can choose are followers and it will be a whole community and instagram is just alot better than tumblr at this point tumblrs a mess. private instagram accounts for the win

Okay I’m pretty fucjing proud of this as I thought kf it at 3am and it’s almost pretty genius if I say so. I cut a while into my pocket in the inner lining the size of a vitamin bottle and put on a big waist trainer, from there in a blind spot concealed into the hole under my waist trainer and you are completely flat and it’s visible that your pocket is empty. I’m a minor so cannot be body searched and I think this is a really great method !!
