    At my place, there’s an artshop that has a metal fence around a spray cans and markers section that can only be opened by asking the staff. You know, not car paint or usual permanents, but specialized stuff branded exclusively towards bombing walls and tagging surfaces, like Montana. I was surprised why they even sell them if they think they are connected to crime and are afraid they are first targets to be lifted. I thought about buying them, but the whole procedure was so embarrassing and they were so overpriced. Them and Hobbycraft staff probably think they solved the graffiti problem, won the battle against the hydra of crime by that. They haven’t mistaken that much in their lives. Nor in Louis case, that’d hopefully lead to consequencies, nor in mine leading to many acts of silly vandalism. Fuck them UwU

      I’ve never been in a spray paint section at a store where people hadn’t opened the cans and painted all over everything. Perhaps that has something to do with it.

      I see someone moved to UK. Congrats on not not dying in trenches for Putin’s yacht!
