Heart heart heart this cause, the person it's named for, the person who put this together, and the artists and others combining their effort and works — what a great way to help students and pollinators while shopping for loved ones!

If you've never considered adopting 2 or 3 kittens, I met 9 sweet ones yesterday who've been rescued and are looking for forever homes in Minnesota — sharing the Facebook link here! In the third photo, the 6 sibs are wrestling in pairs — this could be your life! www.facebook.com/share/p/1B2P...
