This is one of the oldest surviving recordings of a trans person.

Masoud El Amaratly (1897-1944) was an Iraqi trans singer who became famous in 1920s Baghdad for his folk music. He worked as a farmer before transitioning in his teens. The mustarjil, a term similar to trans man, then moved to the city and sang in cafés. A music agent discovered him there and his fame spread across West Asia.

Enjoy this 1925 recording of him singing the traditional Iraqi song, "Khadri al Chai" ("Please Make Tea"). Check out Ajam's website for more.

it's worth mentioning that mustarjil is an identity specific to ahwari (also known as marsh arabs), an indigenous community in the mesopotamian marshlands, today on the border of iraq and iran.

Today's society is no longer Foucault's disciplinary world of hospitals, madhouses, prisons, barracks, and factories. It has long been replaced by another regime, namely a society of fitness studios, office towers, banks, airports, shopping malls, and genetic laboratories. Twenty-first-century society is no longer a disciplinary society, but rather an achievement society [Leistungsgesellschaft]. Also, its inhabitants are no longer "obedience-subjects" but "achievement-subjects." They are entrepreneurs of themselves. The walls of disciplinary institutions, which separate the normal from the abnormal, have come to seem archaic. Foucault's analysis of power cannot account for the psychic and topological changes that occurred as disciplinary society transformed into achievement society. Nor does the commonly employed concept of "control society" do justice to this change. It still contains too much negativity.

Mecanismo cartesiano. A visual interpretation of Rene Descartes epistemology, particularly his mechanism and the role of the pineal gland as the "seat of the soul". This guy was weird.

"Desesperación en la tormenta" (2020)

This a intervention of a Szukalzki drawing I did during a panic attack.

This is a series of exercises I did while playing curse of Stradh. It was my first proper DnD campaign and since it was completely online I did this drawings while I was waiting on combat or dialogue. The amber temple was for me particularly interesting it was one of the the most unique and imaginative fictional sets that I've seen in a game, thus inspired me a lot.
