@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 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?

“[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
The world often judges disabled parents. What if it listened to them?

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

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

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.

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

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

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 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
