This has personally inspired me more than any other quote I've ever read.

An embroidery in a frame that reads 'I do not argue with obstinate men. I act in spite of them'. There's a little peg figure in the corner of Agatha Christie.

I've been making gifts for friends recently and I've finished this one for my friend who loves Agatha Christie! I embroidered the letters myself (but I didn't make the little figure!). I'm making a little zine for my other friend πŸ˜€

On a green background, the title 'coming soon on Punk Rock Philosophy'. One text box describes the topic of Magdelen Laundries and another one explains medical misogyny with an example of a news headline.

Hello punks! I've got some very interesting posts coming up on Punk Rock Philosophy- one looks at the events behind a punk song about the Magdelene Laundries in Ireland & another medical misogyny, explored via a MCR Punk song!
