One for the weekend. Also I believe this photo should print nicely at post-card size? (Free to non-commercial uses to make the world a better place.) #dollprotest #nokings

The Continental Soldier would like a word with the management. #DollProtest
a barbie-sized GI-Joe figure in revolutionary war clothing glares at you while holding a sign saying "NO KINGS NO TRAITORS." He might be supposed to be Paul Revere or Patrick Henry or somebody we've heard of; my kid picked him out at an estate sale when she was in preschool, so all I know is that he can ride the horse she also got at the same time.

I think Small Merida speaks for us all: #DollProtest
kid-series Disney princess doll of Merida with a sign saying "Awa' wi' the lyin' scumbags." (er, that's "away with the lying scumbags," in case you, like my spouse, require a translation.)

Biology, redux. Still true. #DollProtest

(this came out a bit, er, "graphic design is my passion" but I feel like that's a valid doll style.)

4 barbie dolls (3 of them dark-skinned) stand on a rug in front of a cedar chest holding protest signs: TARIFFS CAUSE LAY OFFS. WIND JOBS ARE U.S. JOBS. ACADEMIC JOBS ARE U.S. JOBS. GOVERNMENT JOBS ARE U.S. JOBS.

Leia would prefer not to get all the way to an evil empire again, really. #DollProtest
Three Princess Leia dolls holding protest signs. Two are vintage 1970s Leias, one with her original costume, one in a teal sundress with pigtails, and the shorter one in the middle is from the mid-2010s comics tie-in dolls, wearing her Endor speeder pants under her Ewok dress. White dress Leia: They blew up my planet. What's *your* excuse? There is no "Planet B." Endor Leia: OVERTHROW THE EVIL EMPIRE. sundress Leia: RESIST (with a Rebel Alliance symbol.)

This one's inspired by that lovely thread of resources @celestepewter.bsky.social did a while back:
#DollProtest
Two dolls hold a protest sign in front of a colorful stripey background: on our left is a brown-skinned Barbie with ancient Egyptian-style makeup in a little red satin dress & to our right is a blonde-ish Ever After High doll in a molded pink top & a pink & light blue floral skirt. The sign is written in a ridiculous variety of fonts & colors, and reads: "DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION ARE GOOD THINGS."

Elena has got Opinions. Can't imagine why... #DollProtest
Elena of Avalor doll holding a sign that says "Overthrow your Criminal Leaders," with colorful sugar-skull-esque decoration. (for those who missed Elena, she's a teen princess who spent 40-some years trapped in an amulet after an evil sorceress killed her parents & stole their throne.)

Biology has more genders than you can imagine. #DollProtest
Barbie & similarly sized dolls, holding protest signs (two of them are also sitting on a stuffed opossum.) FASCISM IS SCARY AND BORING COMPOST THE RICH BIOLOGY HAS MORE GENDERS THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE CAPITALISM=CANCER / infinite growth=unsustainable STOP KILLING PEOPLE TRASH WHEELS FOREVER REMEMBER SMALLPOX? ME NEITHER! VACCINES SAVE LIVES. Close-up of two barbies holding protest signs. A dark-haired East Asian doll on the left has one that says "FASCISM IS SCARY AND BORING" while the blonde on the right holds "COMPOST THE RICH" with a poop emoji. close-up of three dolls with protest signs: at the back, a darker-skinned doll holds a sign saying "STOP KILLING PEOPLE." To her left a blonde very Barbie-ish Barbie doll holds a sign saying "REMEMBER SMALLPOX? ME NEITHER! VACCINES SAVE LIVES." In the foreground Draculara of Monster High sits on a large-ish stuffed opossum holding a sing that says "TRASH WHEELS FOREVER" and if it seems to you that this does not entirely fit the theme of the rest of the group, that is probably because my daughter insisted she be included. close-up of a pair of red-headed dolls holding protest signs. On the left, a wingless Winx club fairy with "BIOLOGY HAS MORE GENDERS THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE," and on the right her girlfriend (whose doll type I don't actually know) holds a sign that says "CAPITALISM = CANCER" in black, with smaller (semi-illegible) hot-pink writing on either side of the equal sign: "infinite growth = UNSUSTAINABLE."

Can every parent of a doll loving child encourage them to walk around with a full entourage of dolls at all times? Can we fill Washington sq park with dolls?
