Antoinette and Her Friends Resist…the Abortion Legal Hellscape

Antoinette is back, and she has a plan to fight abortion bans and the legal hellscape that they present for women in the United States.

With a gynecologist, an attorney, an accountant (plus a few more friends), and plenty of money from her career as a violinist, the dolls are armed and ready.

Dolls can’t be sued, arrested, extradited, or otherwise stopped from delivering and/or providing abortion healthcare across state lines.

Read about their efforts as they cross state lines and challenge anti-abortion states with assistance from their bases in pro-choice states, and enjoy images of elegantly dressed dolls in various scenes.

We've done it again...without even blinking, we have overshot our planet's ecological budget.

We have overshot our planet’s ecological budget as of the 24th of July, 2025. Every resource we use for the rest of the year is now borrowed from the future on a non-negotiable budget. At least, that’s the theory. We have been borrowing like this since the year I was born – 1969 – so I don’t really believe that. I think the situation is likely much worse after all those decades of…

Earth Overshoot Day and Project 2025: The Heritage Foundation Will Make It Even Earlier!

It’s Earth Overshoot Day again: August 2, 2024. Today marks the day of this year on which we humans have used up all of the resources that our planet can replenish in the space of one year. That means that we are operating at a deficit for the rest of this year. Good job, humans! Actually, for developed nations, it’s worse; each nation has its own Overshoot Day, and the United States had its…

For sale in print!

This book is for sale on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Google Play Books, Kobo, Smashwords, and more. It was great fun to create!

Here is the link for the print book on Amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/Antoinette-Year.../dp/1734374322/

Antoinette is a concert violinist and opera singer. She travels and advocates for causes that aim to make the world a better place.

She has a friend, Lilith, who does that as a lawyer, politician...and witch.

A few months into the year, they receive a surprise visit from an alien botanist, Ileandra.

Follow them throughout an entire year on their adventures!

The dolls are each unique personalities that I built myself using mouline floss embroidery threads for their faces, ears, and manicures. Then I attached wigs to their heads and styled their hair with ribbons.

I sewed all of their outfits and created the dress designs, and recreated, in miniature, dress designs that I love from human fashions.

There is a story that follows calendar events, with photographs by me accompanying each part of it.

To get the images, I photographed the dolls in each of their outfits, then used Photoshop to place them in other photographs from my own collection of images from places that I have traveled to, so that it is like the doll is there.

There are a few images of me holding each doll at the end in matching outfits, just for fun.

Please buy a copy of this book, and enjoy it.

Thank you very much!

It’s Earth Overshoot Day – Again, and Well Before the Year is Over

It’s August 2, 2023. It’s Earth Overshoot Day…for the planet as a whole. For individual nations, the dates vary, depending on the standard of living for each one. The higher that standard, the more resource use, and thus the earlier the Overshoot Day for whichever nation you focus on.   We’ve done it again: we humans have reproduced way too much, put far more pressure on our planet’s ecosystems…

Intrigue On a Longship Cruise – A Novel and a Travelogue…and a Threat to Understand

Intrigue On a Longship Cruise – A Novel and a Travelogue…and a Threat to Understand

4 years ago, I took a river cruise up the Rhône in the South of France with my mother. I wrote a blog post about it, complete with photographs, and this is the story that developed from that trip. It was a wonderful experience, and we met lots of interesting and nice people, both the passengers and the crew of our ship. My mother exhorted me to write a murder mystery that takes place on the ship,…

Happy Hallowe’en – Putin Set Maximum-Security Felons on Ukraine

Happy Hallowe’en – Putin Set Maximum-Security Felons on Ukraine

As I have watched and read the news reports about the ongoing genocide in Ukraine, I have wondered about the soldiers that Putin sent there. The question that nagged at me was, what sort of soldiers are these, who are committing so many war crimes? We live in an age with many treaties against such practices, and there is an International Criminal Court to deal with perpetrators of them. The…

Unhappy Earth Overshoot Day 2022 to Humans – We’re Stupid

Unhappy Earth Overshoot Day 2022 to Humans – We’re Stupid

It’s Earth Overshoot Day again. July 28th, 2022 – we have done it again, topping, as usual, the foolish behavior of previous years. As a planet-full of humans, we’ve used up all of the resources that the Earth can generate in a year…with more than 5 months left in it. Here are some graphics from the Global Footprint Network to illustrate this point:   If we all lived like the people in wealthy,…

Forced Births and Guns, Guns, Guns!

Forced Births and Guns, Guns, Guns!

There is nothing quite like an originalist. That’s what is currently infesting the U.S. Supreme Court, along with religiousness. Welcome to the slippery slope to dystopian fascist religious rule – we have slid down it. They have eviscerated the right to abortion in our Constitution. Ending Constitutional Right to Abortion, Supreme Court Reshapes U.S. Politics The ruling eliminating the…

Unhappy Mother’s Day Due to Forced Birthing

Unhappy Mother’s Day Due to Forced Birthing

I knew I would find myself writing this post soon. Forced birtherism is poisonous to a functioning society. The U.S. Supreme Court is effectively ruined. Ketanji Brown Jackson won’t be able to do anything about this. She’s not even there yet, much as we are glad that she is headed there. She is certainly a worthy successor to Ruth Bader Ginsberg. Amy Coney Barrett – a.k.a. Justice Handmaid – is…
