Being Deaf: High-Frequency Hearing Loss & Me In this personal post, I write about being deaf, my high-frequency hearing loss & my deafness experiences in the UK. Plus, my shiny new hearing aids!

I’ve been deaf since childhood, only hearing the world properly for the first time in my 40s.

I wrote about my high frequency hearing loss, and how specialist hearing aids changed my life.

The Emotional Roller Coaster of Chronic Illness By Antonia @ Unremarkable Me | Published January 2026Living with chronic illness is not a gentle cruise down a lazy river with a straw hat and a soundtrack. It is a non-consensual roller coaster built...

Chronic illness isn’t a journey.
It’s a roller coaster with no seatbelt, no exit, and a very tired goblin holding on anyway.

I’ve been living with sarcoidosis and heart disease for nearly 20 years. That’s a lot of lessons, scars, and hard-earned perspective. I finally started saying it out loud—on my podcast. 🎧 thoughtswhilesurvivingchronicillness.buzzsprout.com

Review of Unfit Parent: A Disabled Mother Challenges an Inaccessible World by Jessica Slice - The Massachusetts Review We must invite (or force) gatekeepers to adjust their understanding of what it means to be a capable parent. As disabled caretakers, we invite judgement when we leave the house with our children and,…

In UNFIT PARENT, @jessicaslice.bsky.social makes clear, again and again, the fraught nature of parenting-while-disabled but also how disabled parents are often better equipped for parenting infants and children. #DisabilityVoices @themassreview.bsky.social

Parenting Wisdom From An Interabled Couple There are 4.4 million parents in the U.S. who have a disability and are navigating parenthood in a culture that prizes able-bodiedness. An interabled couple share the creativity and adaptability…

For @jessicaslice.bsky.social, the experience of becoming disabled was a real reckoning with the uncertainty of any life. #DisabilityVoices @embodiedwunc.bsky.social

Rabbi Julia Watts Belser reimagines God with a disability | Broadview Magazine The Grawemeyer Award winner challenges ideas of bodies and the sacred in her new book

Whenever Rabbi Julia Watts Belser talks with religious communities, she always emphasizes that disability is a justice issue. Because we live in a society that’s set up to enable certain kinds of bodies and minds while disabling others. @broadviewmedia.bsky.social #DisabilityVoices

Traded my home office for the Leeds council chambers today,covering the chamber takeovers.Less coffee, more politics, and a whole lot of zoom (the camera kind).

Memoir as a Way to Fight Back for Our Lives on Every Page—Part 2 A Q&A with Terry Galloway | I was really pissed that most of the YouTube videos featuring babies getting cochlear implants show their little faces lighting up with joy when they first hear Mama cooing...

Don’t believe the YouTube videos of babies whose faces light up after getting their cochlear implants. A lot of those babies scream bloody murder when those things are first turned on. That was Terry Galloway’s experience. #DisabilityVoices

A disabled mom's message to parents: We all need help, and it's OK to ask for it Raising two kids while living with an autonomic nervous system disorder taught Jessica Slice to embrace interdependence. Her story is a reminder to parents of the power of asking for help.

At 28, @jessicaslice.bsky.social‬ became disabled. Her onset was so sudden and changed her life so profoundly in the course of a day. It took years for her to accept that she was sick, that she was disabled. #DisabilityVoices

New book 'Unfit Parent' shares what parents with disabilities can teach the rest of society Disabled author Jessica Slice learned that despite often negative societal views, those who were disabled could often parent very well.

“Without the disabled community and without disability culture, I would have had a lot more insecurity about my needs as a parent and about the ways my parenting looks different.” — @jessicaslice.bsky.social‬ #DisabilityVoices

The Ingenuity Of Disability Culture Could Benefit All Parents Once I identified as disabled, I started to ask the right questions: What do I need? What is available? What can I change?

@jessicaslice.bsky.social‬’s acceptance and identity as disabled brought tremendous freedom. She stopped trying to shoehorn her body into the world and started to adapt her world to her body. #DisabilityVoices

The Disabled-Parent Myth “The nondisabled version of myself parenting would have had a very hard time,” says author Jessica Slice. “My disability forced me to let go.”

What do so many doctors, social workers, and others get wrong about disabled parenting, and what damage does it cause? @jessicaslice.bsky.social‬ counts the ways in UNFIT PARENT. @thecut.com‬ #DisabilityVoices

I Loved Parenting a Newborn. I Had a Secret Weapon. The baby wanted to be held constantly. That was fine by me.

When @jessicaslice.bsky.social began writing her book UNFIT PAPRENT, she was surprised to find that many disabled parents like her shared her easy transition to parenthood. #DisabilityVoices

How the Child Welfare System Prioritizes Autonomous Family Units, and Punishes Disabled Parents A faded sign outside boasted great rates and free local calls. The motel windows did nothing to block the West Oakland road noise. Sitting on the stained quilt, Natalie and her fifteen-year-old dau…

Our culture’s deluded insistence that a nuclear family be autonomous has far-reaching negative consequences, which include disabled parents losing custody of their kids. @jessicaslice.bsky.social #DisabilityVoices

The Wisdom of Disabled Parenting 2.0 with Jessica Slice We reunite with author and parent Jessica's Slice ahead of the release of her tremendous book, Unfit Parent: A Disabled Mother Challenges an Inaccessible World, to learn how her life with a second…

The nature of disability is that it’s a reference to our mortality. As @jessicaslice.bsky.social has observed, people have strong feelings about mortality and fragility, because they feel disability says: “You’re not invincible.” #DisabilityVoices @motherofitallpod.bsky.social

The world often judges disabled parents. What if it listened to them? Jessica Slice’s memoir, “Unfit Parent: A Disabled Mother Challenges an Inaccessible World,” has lessons for all parents.

“[A]s a society, we’re taught to fear disability… There’s disability everywhere, and society has been telling you for decades that this is a terrible way to live.” — @jessicaslice.bsky.social #DisabilityVoices

A Conversation with Author Jessica Slice — Diversability I had the privilege of chatting with author Jessica Slice (she/her). J essica’s book, Unfit Parent , explores p arenting with a disability.

When @jessicaslice.bsky.social became disabled at 28, she underwent a necessary transformation — from an always on-the-go perfectionist to a more patient, more honest human. She says this second version of herself is more attuned to what kids need. #DisabilityVoices

The world often judges disabled parents. What if it listened to them? Jessica Slice’s memoir, “Unfit Parent: A Disabled Mother Challenges an Inaccessible World,” has lessons for all parents.

There’s a profound idea at the heart of @jessicaslice.bsky.social’s UNFIT PARENT: Ableism is born of a fear of need and a fear of death. How can the nondisabled rewire that way of thinking? #DisabilityVoices

REVIEWED: Loving Our Own Bones: Disability Wisdom and the Spiritual Subversiveness of Knowing Ourselves Whole In Loving Our Own Bones, Julia Watts Belser gives a refreshing perspective on disability, challenging ableism and affirming God’s presence in all bodies.

Whether disabled or not, readers can re-imagine an embodied God that intimately knows the joys and frustrations of the disability community after reading Rabbi Julia Watts Belser’s LOVING OUR OWN BONES. #DisabilityVoices @friendsjournal.org

Disability has informed @jessicaslice.bsky.social’s parenting. It has taught her to slow down, to give up control, and to accept that there’s no one way to be a parent. It’s very freeing. #DisabilityVoices @motherofitallpod.bsky.social

The world often judges disabled parents. What if it listened to them? Jessica Slice’s memoir, “Unfit Parent: A Disabled Mother Challenges an Inaccessible World,” has lessons for all parents.

Parenting in public as a disabled person is hard because people often have opinions, but the truth is that disability has a lot of overlapping skill sets with caring for a newborn. @jessicaslice.bsky.social #DisabilityVoices

If you’re in a community where disability isn’t talked about enough and you want it to be truly welcoming and inclusive, @friendsjournal.org says Rabbi Julia Watts Belser’s LOVING OUR OWN BONES is a great place to start. #DisabilityVoices

Reading Rabbi Julia Watts Belser’s LOVING OUR OWN BONES “feels like a long conversation with a dear friend.” @friendsjournal.org just gets it. 😊 #DisabilityVoices
