👋 I'm Jackson Bird and I make (hopefully) funny, (sometimes) educational videos for LGBTQ+ nerds like me - and the people in our lives that want to understand us better.
Here on JACKISNOTABIRD, you can find new videos (roughly) once a month sharing my experiences as a bisexual trans guy, answering questions about LGBTQ+ issues, exploring trans history, and sometimes showing what happens when you put weird stuff on a waffle iron.
Beyond this channel, I'm a writer, podcaster, performer, public speaker, and pub quiz host. You can learn more about my work at jacksonbird.cool

I just made my first waffle dough and proper waffles today, with a Tristar heartshaped waffle iron I bought months ago. And now there's a new Will It Waffle after I mentioned your waffle iron's longevity to my guests. The coincidence of this is amazing.
please never change the theme song
it’s so damn good
I bought a paperback copy of the Hobbit back in 2002. That book traveled so many places with me. It looks like it went to The Lonely Mountain with Bilbo. The cover is torn, edges of the pages are stained, and it smells like old. My favorite book 💚
When you were talking about the fumes, all I could think of was Will It Blend's "Don't breathe this!"
Also: waffled book(s) as a P4A perk? I'm sure people would love to donate money to charity for a specially waffled copy.
+
the straight nostalgia injected into my veins when i heard the theme tune
You didn't destroy the book, you scorched it with a little bit of flavor from your own personality it is still totally legible and you didn't destroy something that wasn't already yours etc. But I am glad you shared that message
Always love the occasional return of Will it Waffle! And I love the waffle markssss! My expectations for this waffling were pretty low ngl but the cooking spray did the trick! I read the book in 2021 but I wanna reread it in audiobook format~
The cover looks really cool like that, and if you are looking for waffling suggestions, have you ever tried waffling frosted sugar cookies?
The energy of this ep is incredible 10/10
I haven't heard the WiW theme song in soo long, and just like that, there it is, stuck on replay in my brain once again.
Thanks, Jackson.
Love you 😎😄🤗
I'm surprised you didn't put that pattern on the cover as a nod to your waffling days! I think the pattern came out really neat and would have made for good cover graphics!
This makes me wonder... will a Wreck This Journal waffle???
I found your book in high school. As someone who was trying to figure out my gender identity and masculinity, it was amazing. Thank you so much.
Me and my mom are reading your book together ❤ (I did get it so I could teach her about trans ppl in a way she wouldn’t recognize but I’m still happy to do this with her)
I was able to get your book from our public library! Our library is pretty great about stocking a diverse range of books :)
I've been writing about book bans at Book Riot (thanks for the link!) and the number one thing people can do right now to prevent book bans is to attend school board meetings, speak at the meetings, and vote in school board elections! Right wing groups are taking over, and it's really scary.
"a rainstorm of waffles" @ 10:17
Now "Raining Tacos" is stuck in my head except that in this version, the line is "it's raining waffles" and the song is suddenly more delicious
I just started my first few classes of library school and my research project in one of my classes is on lgbt youth and book bans in the US!
Funny coincidence: This Sunday I met a guy at work (helping out at the printing works of a publishing house) who was optically somewhat reminiscent of you. He was operating the machines in between which a few colleagues and I were doing the last steps which were not automated yet.
Your book helped me through a really confusing time. Now 2 years later I'm 5 months post op and 8 months on T
Your making a big mistake i lost all my op friends after they transitioned 2 committed suicide a year and a half later now im salty af and cant stand trans people tricking each other.
Your book absolutely changed my life just as my trans ass was cracking earlier this year. I kept coming back to it constantly while I was coming out and now that I am almost a month on T I just want to thank you for writing that trans book I needed so much ❤
IT'S BEEN 5 YEARS AND YOU STILL DO WILL IT WAFFLE AHH I'M SO HAPPY!!!!
Was making waffles for dinner last night and thinking about WiW. I'm so chuffed rn
I'm going to go out and get your book now! I'm currently struggling with gender identity and wondering if I'm a transguy instead of a nonbinary person (or both), and I think it would def help me figure out more of myself by reading from a transman's perspective!!
It’s such a good book! I hope it helps you find answers you’re looking for 👍
Should have tried waffling the pages .. would be less potentially toxic and maybe get better waffle patterns
This was such a thoughtful, beautiful video. Thank you
always love to hear the will it waffle theme song, i was dancing along :)
And a very good book it is! Congrats on your three year anniversary!
ITS A PIZZAMAS MIRACLE!!!! Happy book anniversary and happy pizzamas Jackson ;)
I know you’ve done ramen and spaghetti, but have you considered waffling a carbonara or vodka sauced pasta? I bet that would be fairly messy but probably fun too.
Wasn't expecting this video to have a message, but yes, very important point about books!
I just finished reading your book. Thank you very much for writing it. I appreciated the information and the insights. PS I loved this video too. Important issue to keep in the open.
Wait it's been three years?!?!?!?!!!!! Wow, I feel like I just read it and I read it when it came out.
Thx for your rant.
this was fun and yes for the important message at the end! read all the beautiful books that are being banned.
Hello !! I follow your channel since the moment you started and I’m so happy to see what you have became professionally, personally . You helped a lot to start my social transition and to understand who I was , im here writing you because regardless of having 5 years I came out as transman my mother still have some problems with this and I still have some problem accepting she has problems with this , i would like to know if there’s a book you can recommend me to help me with this . I feel I alone and worthless by my mother because of the way she treats me and it’s breaks my heart the fact I’m a good person and still don’t have her love as I would love to… so that makes me feel alone and empty because of what I’m missing from her , like we don’t get to connect and seems never enough to make her proud and it’s like I’m also disappointed her because I can not meet her requirements… I feel hate from someone i care and love about which it’s my mother … and that is killing me . The misgender, the public humiliation due to my identity, I can’t stop from having a relationship with her because I want to Honor and compliance with the role I have to do as son ( respectfully ) can you please advise me what to do? Any books that can help ? I appreciate it
Kind regards,
Ferran Leo
i remember watching your videos years ago when i was about 13 or 14 and first discovering that i was trans, and your content always made me happy and feel like i could be myself. just got this video recommended to me now and immediately clicked, and i very much so am glad i did. just as entertained now as i was then by your content
Where else am I going to get these top-tier buttery book burning experiments?
12:04 - hilarious, i am somone who would not lend certain books to people. But seeing the waffle print is actually pretty cool.
I found Gender Queer because it was in an article about banned books - was very "i have to read that!" Highly agree, if it's banned. I probably want to read it.
Still a long way to go, but alot more LGBTQ+ books for middlegrade are being publish, which is always encouraging. 💜📚
Saw you with the ny neos last weekend and YOU slash THE NEOS slash THE SHOW slash THE CHOCOLATE I WAS GIFTED FROM A GIFT HORSE were all so good. I didn't know what the best way to tell you any of this was so obviously I am commenting on your most recent youtube video.
Will Jackson waffle? I think you should put Jackson on the waffle iron next 😊
4:23 - appreciating the science 😂 and the tag of not banning books 👍💜📚🧇
Soap box time well used, five star rant ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ would recommend
Your book is fabulous definitely worthy of awards hope to see it in the New York best seller list also how about toothpaste will it waffle also waffle oven mitts another great idea for your store Jackson
Does Jackson or anyone else know how I can buy the book when I live in Sweden? On the page he linked I can only choose Canada, US or Australia. I would like a book to hold and read and not a pdf.
I don‘t know about Sweden, but I live in Germany and whenever I want US books I either go to a book shop in person and they order for me, or there are some larger book shops that have an online store where you can order them (although you can‘t find all books here)
@@ptarmigan1356 Thank you. We do have one book store that is really big, I might go there then and see if they can order it for me. Thank you.
I ordered mine from adlibris last year. There are plenty of other stores in Europe as well that have it. Do make sure the store is in the EU though, so you don't need to pay extra.
@@MrNickJ Oh, wonderful, thank you.
I don't know why but it feels right that this video came out during Pizzamas
Way way off topic- but every video he posts, I’m once again reminded of how good looking Jackson is
Yay! 💜
Should I waffle my copy of your book?! I have the hardcover, so I’m not sure how it would work.
The fumes are seriously not so safe and the waffle iron should not be used for anything edible afterwards. From a safety standpoint, I would not recommend it.
I just realized you have the same waffle iron as me, lol
OMG you actually did it! I thought you were joking! haha...
BTW, it still looks better than my copy of A Clash of Kings which survived moving with me from Argentina to Poland, to the UK...
I'm a trans guy , my GP has told me I cannot go on hormones due to having diabetes !! Is this right ? Anyone know ?
Next up, phalloplasty, will it waffle? I will see myself out now.
Love ya Jackson!!!! Btw I made a coming out vid myself, I'm sure a lot of it will resonate with you Jacko xx
Hi my friend, where are you? I haven't seen a new video of you yet waffle😎
waffle gingerbread if you haven't already
oh you did
I've missed will it waffle
Very very very important points made at the end of this video 🎉🎉🎉 fuck yes
Love you, brother.
Lol 😂 - so having found you through dearching trans books - i thought i'd see your most recent videos. Rather that waffeling it I will add it to TBR
💜📚
I think this is the most you video ever
Well, there's that gal with the Quaker beard and chubby cheeks
Blenderized happy meal waffle?
Please can you waffle pizza?
💙💖💙💖
I love the trans content, but it's always fun to see you return to will it waffle 😁
Doesn’t this seem a lot like book burning?
You may want to watch the whole video.
The journey of following this channel since the beginning when it was all waffles, staying after cause I was a fan of yours and to learn, to realizing I was trans and using it as a resource, and now still getting waffle content 🧇
