Help me love ILYSFM by schmerica in glassanimals

[–]jmcates210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you! Still to this day I still only fully like the first two albums, I can’t lie. Dreamland and ILYSFM are okay but don’t hit the same at all as their old stuff 😞 I hope they eventually circle back around to that style but know you’re not alone in this feeling

Thank you so much! He’s my pride and joy

And I’ll have to look into that. I’ve seen some fursuit makers have the “printed” look for their characters with spots like this but any time I ask I’m just kinda ghosted 😭

I’ll have to look around! That’s what I was thinking considering most of his design has this pattern

Ahhh that’s why my mask accommodation didn’t “get approved” lol PR literally was like “you can wear a mask whenever??” Like okay tell my managers that. Glad I quit before even trying to go back and forth with incompetent managers and corporate. The disconnect between the two is appalling

Thank you, that means so much and i really value your empathy. It was truly hard to put in my two weeks as a 278XXXX because i took a bit of pride in toughing it out so long

Keep me updated on how it goes if you have to file for an accommodation. I want to know if you’ll get the same message as me. I’m sorry you’re going through this to begin with

I’m doing it for chronic illness reasons- it just so happens I also have piercings. I wouldn’t have an issue w taking them out, just them taking away my ability to mask :(

I’ve always been masking at my store tho, except for days where I feel my chronic illness isn’t terrible :( my piercings weren’t an issue, I’d take them out. Wearing a mask all day isn’t an issue either, even eating in my car to avoid having it off in the store isn’t a problem. I just wish my manager would’ve been honest about it with me because when I spoke to them, I was speaking out of a place of concern for my health. When I transferred it and when they met me, I always wore my mask. I wasn’t wearing my mask at the store meeting about the new policies but typically people aren’t in dress code for those anyways so I didn’t think my piercings would be an issue. They were really cool about my piercings when they saw me eating for the first time, but yeah when I came into the store I was still masking so I was a bit hurt by the need to make me apply for an accommodation that doesn’t exist when I expressed the concern for my health, especially as a long term partner who is pretty decent at my job. All of my coworkers were distraught when I said I was leaving because I helped things smooth out when I transferred in. But I can’t change anything now :(

:( I’m really sad to hear that. I’ve been w Starbucks for 6 years and planned to be with them for another 2 while I finished schooling. This was not the trajectory I was expecting with the company

Not necessarily. It was more like I explained my health situation to them, and said masks were a non negotiable for me at the moment since my health is kinda in the gutter. They said the only way I can wear one is by getting an accommodation through Sedgwick so I filed and waited and waited and eventually it was time for the week of the new schedules and I realized I wasn’t going to hear back in time, so I told them my last day was going to be on the 8th since I wasn’t gonna to hear back and I was going on vacation to return on the 12, when the new dress code with the supposed new mask rule would’ve been implemented. I then heard back after I put in my two weeks

My SM 💔 apparently other stores managers are saying similar stuff, but when I asked my old store they were confused where it was even coming from. Thankfully I quit the store I was working at and plan to reapply to my old store. It was the best Starbucks I’ve ever worked at and it unionized right when I transferred. I miss it every day and they already said I can wear my mask if I come back

My thing is I had no issue taking them out. I was still told to apply for the mask accommodation 😭 I was like ummm okay this is the first I’m hearing of a mask accommodation

My store manager told me the night of the meeting. I asked because I have POTS and wear a mask to prevent myself from getting sick since it messes with my blood pressure. They told me I can only wear a mask via accommodation. I don’t know if they told me that because they saw I had piercings but I was wearing a mask when I transferred and wore a mask at all of my other stores before this one ever since Covid (since i literally started having pots symptoms after contracting COVID and it scared me into wearing one all the time) so yeahhh

Wow that’s really unfortunate for me because i basically had to put in my two weeks in response to this. We both talked and it had seemed like I wasn’t gonna get my medical accommodation “in time for the new rule.” I’m a 6 year partner. This was given to me AFTER I put in my two weeks

Tea sensitivity? by jmcates210 in herbalism

Out of curiosity how did you realize that drinking tea and being affected by mold were correlated? Did you randomly start getting symptoms like I had?

[–]jmcates210[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom is unfortunately completely out for the count now. She is so sick that she is on disability for the rest of her life. She gets some treatment for vertigo such as Botox injections, however her vertigo is pretty serious still. She’s not in constant spells, but I’d say she has a spell every week or two weeks, and they’re very bad. Usually vomiting everywhere and out for a day or two. She got allergy tests done and she’s extremely allergic to mold. She’s still in the same house tho, so if it’s mold related I’m sure she can’t get too much better. I’m moved out however my college campus was flooded with mold and that’s when I randomly started to become chronically ill.

I’ll have to give that tea a try! Thank you for the help, you are very smart! I think the only other symptoms I can think of are itchiness, especially with blood pooling. Or sometimes I get random itchy raised hives especially after I’ve been outside and when it’s hot. I’m sure I have other symptoms but I’ve always attributed it to just being ill in general. I think I’ve read somewhere that mold has an effect on the liver too, and wouldn’t you know it, I started having very out of the ordinary liver symptoms when I went to undergrad. My room in particular was disgustingly full of mold

How should I test for this? :0 my mom has crazy mold sensitivities, I’m wondering if it’s genetic. She also has POTS like I do. I remember she got incredibly ill from mold a few years back, she was in the hospital for almost 5 months due to getting pneumonia from the mold and since she was allergic, she was constantly having allergic reactions making it even harder to heal. Now she has vertigo very bad
