Presenting at a conference from home and I cannot stress how many benefits virtual conferencing offers.

- I get to take my medications without worry that TSA may confiscate

- I get to navigate my home comfortably without worry my mobility aids may be damaged

- I can eat/drink whenever I feel up to it, and whenever I need, with foods that are safe for me

- I get to lay down to listen to other sessions bc it's a bad pain day

- I get to use heating pads & other devices I wouldn't travel with

A reminder for anyone new to mastodon who might not be happy with some of the racist and bad actors out there on other servers... Just import the fediblock list to your personal blocks and you will be safe from the vast majority of bad actors.
