Week.ly 4th Installment
Welcome to this Week.ly! After two weeks of Melissa McCarthy doppleganging Sean Spicer, Kellyanne Conway issuing a public apology to her boss, and the hiring of Rove-era GOP strategist Mike Duke for White House Communications Director … I felt like the debut meme of this week deserved a “Help Wanted sign. Because communicating (read: damage control) for Trump’s id is like three full-time jobs that no human could possible be equipped for.
Also, this Week.ly we took a shot at the Grammys … for being so white, Kanye for being on
“Grammy Probation” (not really but he was MIA) and Adele for being awesome and gracious…even though the Grammys are still so white. We gave Frederick Douglass some love on his birthday (formerly known as Valentine’s Day … #BlackLove). And in case you missed it, the National Security Adviser to the President stepped down after telegraphing our international policy moves to the Russians. No memes about the Soviet Submarine off the coast of Connecticut this week though … it’s hard to keep up. 😉 See you next week! – hb

Week.ly 6
Hey gang! I was out of pocket last week. Week 2 of a two week Reel Fathers Fathers In Focus intensive at Capital High School in Santa Fe. Worked with over 400 Freshman over the course of two weeks to put together a show at the Lensic composed of stories and poems they created about their fathers (good, bad and ugly) and the kind of fathers they want to be and see in society. It was a two week mediation on a topic our communities rarely discuss unless we are bemoaning the fact that there is a crisis of father engagement in this country. So, my peeps at Reel Fathers decided to do something about it. As a result, if you follow me on Instagram and
Twitter you saw fewer poly-sci memes from me and more “non-partisan” memes like this…
You can follow Reel Fathers to see other memes in this #FathersInFocus series (including our #PaperAirplanes & #WishingWell series) @ReelFathers on Twitter and Instagram. And it goes without saying that my content creation for that contract is firewalled from my usual politics at my personal social media outlets … all views expressed are my own …my opinions do not reflect the views of Reel Fathers … etc. etc. #LegalEASE
Enough with the excuses … now back to your regularly scheduled program… This Week.ly! Ahhhh, ummmm Russia? If it seems like there is more on your boob tube about Russia than about the United States … don’t be alarmed … this administration’s foreign policy has finally consummated our marriage to Russia by way “unconventional” diplomacy. Think “common law,” we may or may not have engaged in sexual relations with that country (shout out to the #GoldenShower) … but, ya know, if the ring fits … wear it out. We now seem to be the U.S.S.S. R. (United States of Soviet Socialist Republics) … at least they got to keep their maiden name. That was nice of U.S. 😉
Anyways, all the memes I got for you this week are about Russia … because my civic duty is civic disobedience, I suppose…and all the good Grammy’s meme’s were taken. 😉 ’Til next
Week.ly friends…stay thirsty! – hb
And this happened
…so then this had to happen…
