Tomorrow should be cool, all being well. Lyn and I are planning to go to the Liberty Festival in Trafalgar square. To be honest, apart from that it’s a disability pride thing, I do not know too much about it. But Trafalgar square is only a tube ride away, so I reckon it’s well worth a look.

I feel I kind of live on the periphery of the disabled community. Although I have quite a few friends with disability, and am indeed engaged to a woman with CP, I still feel something of an outsider when it comes to the community. I just try to voice my perspective on my blog, but no longer get involved with things like Ouch. Indeed, I’m still not even sure there is a community per se.

I think that needs to change a bit. I think I need to get involved more in crip culture; I need to understand it a bit more. I also think Lyn and I could do with a few more contacts. Either way, tomorrow, if we do go, should be cool: a chance to celebrate who we are, network, and perhaps bump into a few old friends.
