Oh I so hear you there, it is so complex to traverse the I need to make a living pool while also upholding one's principles. As a consumer and creator I always am willing to pay a bit more for something that is ethically made, but I am also conscious of my budget and possess a frugal nature. Yay!
And I really know nothing about merch creation other than the stuff I've gleaned from a bit of research and that one time I did screenprinting in high school, lol! Mainly, I just wanted to throw out my support regarding your idea, and to say I would definitely by Hive merch!
That is awesome to hear, thanks. I better get busy over the next few weeks figuring it out how to make it happen 🙂
