Iowa Trans Mutual Aid - Wake Up Iowa Coffee ITMAF’s goal is to provide financial assistance to Trans and Nonbinary individuals in the state of Iowa as they access gender-affirming care.

Reminder that we are taking donations for the Iowa Trans Mutual Aid Fund at this link, cash jar in our shop, or of course just donate directly to them. This far we’ve raised $226.51 for their vital role in making gender affirming care accessible for Iowans.

It’s super cool the amount of women kicking ass at life generally. Womens history month every month always. Yes. And frozen food rules too!!!

It’s women’s history month too! Most if our vendors are from women owned companies at our shop :) including our window design illustrated by a woman. And all the vendors at our pop up last month.

I saw that on a tv at the gym and laughed, but it’s actually not even funny as to how much life would totally suck without it.

Freezers are a miracle for the household. Can you imagine how different life would be without this innovation?

Shoutout to the fact that it’s apparently national frozen food month
