Another reason not to bother with Airbnb...

"He’d booked the apartment more than a month earlier, but barely a week before their departure, late last month, came a message from Airbnb saying his host had cancelled the booking. Instead of being hosted, he was ghosted. The property he’d booked was with a Superhost, supposedly the cream of Airbnb properties."

The Sydney Morning Herald · Tim’s Airbnb cancelled last-minute. He was offered a bunk insteadBy Michael Gebicki

Telehealth is life changing for people with disabilities, seniors and those who live in rural areas.

Disabled people had been pushing for telemedicine options for years before the pandemic hit.

Covid restrictions made telemedicine a reality, and suddenly we had the type of accommodations we always needed.

For those covered under Medicare (which is many seniors and people with disabilities), telemedicine will be cut at the end of March.

It was previously due to be cut at the end of the year, but after outcry from the disability community it received a three month extension.

It’s critical people get loud about this now. Call your local lawmakers and tell them you need telehealth to continue.

People with disabilities can’t always go to the doctor in person. Leaving our homes can take a tremendous amount of spoons and cause week long setbacks (not to mention the risk of Covid and other infectious diseases).

There’s still time to ensure this vital accommodation tool remains funded!

Jess Badger Writes · medicare telehealth is set to expire in 38 days.By Jess Badger

I could use some community advice. I have multiple sleep disorders: apnea, insomnia, and "social jetlag," where my body disregards the local time and acts as if I belong in a timezone several hours behind the local time no matter what I do. I have treatments for these, including a CPAP and medication to sleep at night and be awake in the day, but even so, I am struggling mightily with the early morning meetings with my new job, to the point that being awake for them is ruining my productivity for the rest of the day.

Added to this, I'm autistic, which makes it hard to communicate my needs effectively, and I had a *very* bad experience in a previous job when went to HR about it to request an accommodation. (They forced me to take unpaid medical leave rather than allow me to adjust my work schedule slightly, and I had to interact with a very ableist HR person regularly from then on.)

How do I bring this up with my new boss and find a happy compromise that lets me do my job?
