Leave your guesses for what's happening in this still from an upcoming video! 🥯 Can't wait to share a few videos I've been diligently working on for the past several months. In the meantime, we've got access to a ✨ special beta feature ✨ that let's YOU make posts on my Community Tab here, not just reply to them. Feel free to try it out! Maybe make a post sharing the creators you've been digging lately and see if anyone else is a fan too. Or post some photoshopped versions of this photo while you wait for the video to drop!

👋🏻 Hey everyone! I’m working on ramping up video production this fall as I make some big life moves, but in the meantime we now have access to this ✨special new beta feature✨ on youtube!
Community posts aren’t just for me anymore. Now YOU can make posts too and share what you think with other folks here on the channel. 😮
Can’t wait to keep in touch as I work on some fresh videos for you!
To kick this off: comment on this post what books you’ve been reading this summer! And maybe start your own post about a book you want to discuss with other folks! 📚
(and if you can’t post yet, don’t worry! the feature is being rolled out slowly and you should have access soon.)

📣 Trans/nb/gnc folks, what do you wish healthcare professionals knew about your needs? Or, do you have any questions for them?
In an upcoming video, I'll be sitting down with Dr. Alok Patel and Registered Nurse Sheena Williams with @pbsvitals to talk all about trans healthcare and I want your input! Think of this more as an A&A than a Q&A. What do you want them and their colleagues to know about you as a trans, nonbinary, or gender nonconforming person?
Drop your responses or questions below! Your responses might be used anonymously in the video. (if you want to submit them anonymously, head over to my Instagram Story at jackisnotabird)

My nipples are officially five years old! 🥳 I thought I'd do a top surgery-themed Q&A video to celebrate so leave your questions below! Questions about my experiences or about top surgery in general are fair game. The video will be up later this month, but get your questions in before Wednesday! ✌️
If you want more until then, you can watch my top surgery playlist (www.youtube.com/playlist?list...) or pick up a copy of my book, Sorted, at bit.ly/SortedPaperback –– here's a peek!

Everyone's talking about voting, but not everyone CAN vote and some people who technically can are discouraged from doing so. Learn more about voter suppression in the latest episode of @UC6xfvN6hej_gtBFbO6HDRKw, a virtual game show I was so stoked to be a guest on! Be sure to subscribe to them and to my west coast competitor, Myles Bess, the host of KQED's @AboveTheNoise ✌️ And then, if you're an eligible voter in the US, make a plan and go vote! Already voted?

I DIYed my gender. Now I’m DIYing the rest of my life. Learning new things, thinking big thoughts, and taking you along for the ride.
👋 I'm Jackson Bird! Over 18 years on YouTube, I’ve documented my life; shared my experiences as a trans man; educated on LGBTQIA+ topics; produced short films, video essays, and interview series; and seen just how far a humble waffle iron can go in over fifty episodes of my comedy series, Will It Waffle?
Having come out and shared my transition publicly on this channel a decade ago, these days I’m focused on my next big goal: owning my own home and hobby farm while working as a full-time writer and creator.
As I work towards that dream, I’m sharing what I learn from the wonders of everyday life––from nature and home maintenance to literature and lost histories.
tl;dr I DIYed my gender. Now I’m DIYing the rest of my life.
