This Weekend is Trans Day of Visibility
Trans Day of Visibility on March 31st. To be honest, I'm having a hard time finding the right words to express how TDOV feels this year. I suppose I'll just say what is true for me: my heart hurts for the damaging rhetoric aimed at our community and the pain and suffering it leads to; my heart sings with the love, vibrance, and dedication to authentic self-expression that our community ushers into the world.
Little Loaf is proud to be a queer and trans-owned business, and Colleen and I are very focused on intentionally creating and sustaining environments that feel safe for our community, and where self-expression and joy can thrive. We're grateful for all of our customers who help to make that happen, not only for our trans and nonbinary community—but for everyone.
There are local organizations & organizers who are doing so much dang work to support and uplift our community, including creating events that bring us all together. Please support them if you can—more details below!

April Bread Loaf Order Form (including buns!)
We don't have the capacity to make a ton of loaves at the moment, but we've heard from folks that they'd love the ability to grab them from us at our pop-up at the Underwear Factory in Poughkeepsie (Thursdays-Saturdays 8am-1pm).
So, here we are! We'll give this a try with a Google Form and see how it goes!
April 6th: Matters Coffee in Croton on Hudson
Remember last month when I accidentally marketed the wrong date across every single possible digital channel? Because I do! I promise this is the correct date this time! -Rian
PS, we have a pre-order link again here!
