♰ About Me ♰

I've gained a few followers since posting on Tumblr again, so here's some info...

♰ Bio ♰

Miranda Adria is my artist and online alias. I've been using it since I was 14.

I was born in Miami, Florida in 1983.

I identify as queer, partially because it fits me best, and partially because it pisses off whiny online label police who think queer is a slur.

I have 15 piercings (6 in each ear with 00g/10mm lobes, snakebites, and septum), and no tattoos (so far).

I've been working in the digital art field for almost 25 years.

I graduated Summa Cum Laude from University of Florida in 2009 through an art school program provided by the New World School of the Arts (NWSA) in Miami, FL.

My artwork is featured on four YA novels by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes: The Den of Shadows Quartet, The Shapeshifters, All Just Glass, and The Poison Tree.

Decided to treat myself to some "retail therapy" today, though my interpretation of "retail therapy" is hopping from one consignment store or thrift store to another until the high of finding vintage treasures outweighs the burden of physical/emotional pain.

health isn't a virtue.

[bebsi-cola]

people still go around acting like they've done something good in order to be able bodied and healthy. that they worked for it, that it's due to their moral fibre or good upbringing or self control. they genuinely, on some level, believe that they are a good person solely based on the strength of their physical abilities. they will resist the fact that it is largely down to chance that they were able to maintain such health. whatever they think they've built from scratch, the building blocks were already handed to them. not because they're more worthy of it, just by luck. and they really think they're worth more based on that sheer luck. i've met disabled people worth a hundred of the healthiest ableds alive.

[drethelin]

Ignoring luck is dumb, but claiming that health is entirely based on sheer luck is an extremely corrosive worldview. There are dozens of choices you make every day, every week, every month that contribute to your overall health and functioning. It's good to be healthy and it's good to make healthy choices and you do in fact have a lot of control over whether you are able bodied.

[bebsi-cola]

sounds like someone is mad you don't have a lot of control over whether you are able bodied
