I’ve been disabled throughout my entire time at UP, but it wasn’t until this semester that I became a full-time wheelchair user.

Ever since the COVID-19 pandemic, I’ve been interested in what happens to us when we spend too much time on social media. X, Instagram, TikTok and Facebook are spaces where people can connect with each other. But they’re also hubs for misinformation and groupthink.
