Disability culture is the art of people with disabilities operating space on their terms based on their unique abilities. It's about integrating yourself into any space that you find yourself in. This includes dancing, writing, reading, driving, and other activities. It's about embracing your differences as a gift instead of a curse. It's about retaking what it means to be disabled in the eyes of the mainstream media and retooling it to what it truly means in the eyes of yourself. It's about celebrating your differences and seeing that they can be used to make others (and, importantly, yourself) happy. Disability culture is the ability to understand yourself as a human being—an advanced organism with quirks. We all have quirks, so why not embrace them?

Hi everyone! I am doing a make-up post for a class I missed near the end of April for my dad’s birthday. And I wanted to share some thoughts (some deep, some more trivial) about the place we had dinner to celebrate my dad’s birthday.
