This Australian woman came to Nigeria for just two weeks… a few mosquito bites later, she woke up with both legs gone. Stephenie Rodriguez thought it was a normal trip. 15 days later, she collapsed mid-flight. Cerebral malaria. 2 weeks in a coma. 47 surgeries. And in the end, doctors had to amputate both legs to keep her alive. All from a few bites. Malaria still k!11s about 600,000 people every year, mostly African children. It’s not as “normal” as people treat it.

Social media algorithms don’t care about disability. They care about high-valence emotion. The problem? In the digital attention economy, "high-valence" almost always translates to Trauma Performance. 🧵👇🏾
A woman sits beside a young man using a powered wheelchair in a modern kitchen. The graphic titled “The Algorithm Gap” explains that social media favors emotional or traumatic content, while posts about joy from disabled creators receive less visibility.

Disabled people are more than their worst days. But the algorithm will never know that until we change what we reward. We aren't content for your feed; we are the architects of the future. Count us in.

Today is World Parkinson’s Day. But we aren't here for "awareness." Let's talk about Signal Integrity. Parkinson’s isn’t just "shaking." It’s a systemic failure where the brain’s instructions are dropped before they reach the hardware (the body). 🧵👇🏾

Jillian Mercado didn't ask the fashion industry for permission. She walked into casting calls with muscular dystrophy and a wheelchair, and booked Diesel. 🧵

Economic empowerment > representation. Jillian didn't need a magazine to write a "feel-good story" about her. She needed casting directors to see her as a model, not a symbol. She got paid. She built a career. That's the goal.

Disabled Creators Friday: Jillian Mercado. Model. Actress. IMG talent. Wheelchair user. One of these things made her different. The rest made her successful. #DisabledCreatorsFriday #JillianMercado

In 1999, Colombia had one of the highest landmine casualty rates in the world. 11,000 people injured or killed. Most became amputees or wheelchair users. The government offered charity. Landmine survivors said: We want rights. 🧵

The lesson: Charity keeps you dependent. Rights make you free. Landmine survivors didn't accept pity. They demanded justice.
