Will My Book Waffle? (also, pls stop banning books)

My debut book just turned three years old! To celebrate, I'm baptizing it on my waffle iron. Come for the waffled book. Stick around for the impromptu discussion about book bans and why we need to fight evil by reading books.

👋 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.

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.

[walterelie]

please never change the theme song

it’s so damn good

[autumnbrookesings]

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~

[boocrimson]

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

[samhene]

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.

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 💚

[Rithene]

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.

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 😎😄🤗

[Alex-tlfz]

the straight nostalgia injected into my veins when i heard the theme tune

[kichicat]

The cover looks really cool like that, and if you are looking for waffling suggestions, have you ever tried waffling frosted sugar cookies?

[ebydaniels]

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)

[oldwornoutjeans]

The energy of this ep is incredible 10/10

[pmbluemoon]

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!

[oliverg]

I was able to get your book from our public library! Our library is pretty great about stocking a diverse range of books :)

[aj_the_alto]

This makes me wonder... will a Wreck This Journal waffle???

[tyrannosauruswren]

"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

[turtlecactus]

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 ❤

[emile]

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!!

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!

Was making waffles for dinner last night and thinking about WiW. I'm so chuffed rn
