And yet again, Spotify thumnail links are being a jackass on web-browser. So side-episode can be found by the link in the bio.

I should also note that this doesn't take precedent over future artists we'll cover in the coming years who DID embrace being trans. #sophie, #100gecs, #AgainstMe, and #blackdresses are on the plate for undisclosed times in the future
For what it's worth, I don't think we can 100% know the answer for sure without a journal or something written or spoken...but as you can hear, I think there is a case to be made that he MIGHT have not been cis (just never realized it).
The last side-episode of #LinkinPark was a topic a few #trans #discord servers I'm in brought up and had me curiously think "How deep does this rabbit hole go?"
I'll say I did have pushback from one of my cohosts (going so far as to call me a 'crackpot'), but I wanted to see where I could take it.
Note: I just got the thumbanail image by searching "rock split in half" on Google Images and grabbed the first thing I saw. I am sometimes bad at determining if images are AI-generated or not. If this is AI, I'll look for a different one and re-upload the episode.
The first major side-episode for #linkinpark felt fitting since--by all accounts--they were the last #rocknroll band to reach the heights they did. And we tackle this from several angles.
Yet again, browser BlueSky being a butt with the thumbail links. So episode can be found via link in bio.

Now it's time for Top Songs from #LinkinPark
Two more side-episodes to go, both of which I feel are relevant to this band. But one of which I got called a crackpot by one of my cohosts for suggesting.
CW for [respectful as possible] discussion of suicide and sexual abuse involving a cult (as it pertains to the albums *One More Light* and *From Zero*)

The episode covering #2000s icons #LinkinPark is officially live!
This one was an eye-opener, to say the least. Knew more from them than I initially thought.
BlueSky browser is being a butt with Spotify thumbnails, so you'll have to click the link in my bio to find the episode.
Also, the profile image is now pretty out-of-date. It does depict Me, Duke, and Soren, but we've since adopted two members who have become full-time participants: Para and Sally.
I should contact Red to update the image to include Para and Sally.
I've also damn-near finalized the lineup for every episode until the Big 4 of #BritishInvasion (Episodes 97-100)...and that should run until August of 2028 (assuming we don't slow down due to life events).
And now for Top Songs from Mastodon.

I say this in the episode description, but I'll also say it here: the message at the top of the episode was recorded in August shortly after the tragic death of Brett Hinds & I originally-expected this to drop in October. Everything got pushed back due to life stuff on my end.
The episode is on #Spotify and wherever #podcasts are available under The Algorhythms moniker. Unfortunately, the link to the episode won't be provided. #BlueSky 's web-browser is being a butt & isn't processing the thumbnail. So it was either no link or the post gets stuck in limbo.
My apologies.
The episode on Georgia-based #heavymetal titans #Mastodon is now live. This was a fun dive & I believe their first four albums are to #2000s US #metal what #Metallica 's were to #80s US metal: the most-influential four-album streak from a generation-defining band at a creative peak.
Supreme Court allowing conversion therapy to proliferate on Trans Day of Visibility was no coincidence. I believe this in my heart of hearts.
Until we take the example of the French, we will always be beholden to these people who are no more important than us.
I don't think cis people can comprehend how radicalising it is to spend any significant portion of your life wanting to not be alive until the solution you find happens to be the same one that western civilization suddenly decides it wants to kill you for taking
There is no other group where the president of the United States of America can go on national television, say "no more of these people," and the response is crickets.
He didn't say trans people were stealing an election. He didn't say we should be deported. He said we should not exist.
This is the best encapsulation I have seen of what it means to be trans right now.
And how deeply it hurts to see the moment with clarity.
Read it.
Time for #Canada to open up its refugee program to Americans impacted by these cruel and inhumane rulings.
Once again for the 'that doesn't affect me" crowd: this is a direct pipeline to also controlling women. No more pants. No more employment out of the house. No more 'anything the regime finds unflattering or not feminine enough'. Fuck the slippery slope, they're just steam rolling. You're next. You.
I really try not to only post about the horrors trans people are facing, but everyone needs to understand that this is genocide. Your average trans person is basically chronically depressed because society wants us dead. Imagine if the state came up to you and took your medication away
It's always this.
If you want to stand up against fascism, then you have to defend trans rights. It’s nonnegotiable. We all lose otherwise.
please help trans kansans and their families, if you’re able. everything helps.
A 2-in-1 of side-episodes in regarding #Sepultura. Meant to do this yesterday, but stress and distraction in general.
The first is me and Duke's top songs. The second is our fave international music acts (outside the US or UK).
