The next big transition in my life...
After 14 years in New York City, I finally did what I've been threatening to do for years: moved to a small town all alone. The years of indecision and the effort required to finally take the plunge reminded me a lot of coming out and transitioning a decade ago. So this is a self-indulgent vlog about moving. But it's also about transitioning, and the big changes we all dare to make in our lives.
Thank you to Sam, Lauren, and Katie for helping me shoot the artsier scenes. And big thank you for Armand for the incredible custom artwork of Queens, NY that I hung on my wall. Buy the picture book he illustrated or hire him! / armandsilvani

👋 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.
Here on jackisnotabird, I share my experiences as a queer trans man, explore trans history, and sometimes show 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 http://jacksonbird.cool
If you want to hire me to speak at your school, event, or business, you can email my speaking bureau at [email protected]
Writing inquiries can be directed to O'Connor Literary at [email protected]
Please send other business inquiries to [email protected]
