Perfection Doesn't Exist: Stranded Abroad, Missing History & Going Independent
Show notes
Where have we been for the past few weeks? In a crazy, unexpected, turn of events Bimini was stranded abroad... and that's what this episode of The Pieces is all about.
In this deeply personal solo episode of The Pieces, Bimini opens up about one of the most challenging periods in recent memory — from missing the biggest trans rights rally in UK history due to flight cancellations, to being stranded in Dubai airport for 24 hours during missile strikes, to making the bold decision to leave their major label and become an independent artist.
Fresh off winning LGBTQ+ Podcast of the Year at the Gaydio Awards, Bimini reflects on the importance of platforming diverse voices and creating space for nuance in a world that increasingly feels divided. This episode tackles the infighting on the left and why progressive movements need to stop one-upping each other if real change is going to happen.
Bimini also shares the terrifying experience of being stuck in Dubai with alerts warning to stay away from windows, the devastation of missing a historic moment for the trans community at Wembley, and the reality that the world feels like it's gone mad.
But there's hope too. Bimini announces their journey as an independent recording artist, sharing excitement about their debut album of "electro-punk" music and the freedom that comes from finally making art that feels authentic.
