Natasha, a volunteer at Black Cat Rescue, a local non-profit rescue group based in Somerville, reached out to us to see if we would consider Black Cat Rescue as a We Care Wednesday recipient. If you know us (and that means pretty much the entire gather here team) then you know how much we LOVE cats. Can you blame us? They are far superior animals to humans that's for sure. Did you know that black cats are only half as likely to get adopted as cats of other colors? BCR's all-volunteer network of foster homes is dedicated to saving the...

It's been a long time since we attended a trade show (2019!!!) but this summer we went to Rosemont, Illinois to check out h+h americas. This was the second ever h+h show in the US and it featured yarn, fabric, and notions as well as other craft adjacent industries.

They work in collaboration with other social justice networks in order to address the pressing, urgent, and emergent needs of marginalized communities across Massachusetts. Trans Resistance is entirely grassroots...
