Author: Janice Arenofsky

I write humor, but also books and serious essays, features and profiles, usually for national venues. I'm a member of the National Society of Newspaper Columnists , Humor Writers of America, and the American Society of Journalists and Authors. I live in Arizona, where it's hot, hot, hot (but very dry of course), and I have six dogs and two cats. Oh yes, a husband, too. I blog at https://humorbyarenofsky.blogspot.com/ Come and visit me there or at my website or at Facebook, where I'm The Dysfunctional Family. Got almost 1,000 followers. Join us.

Followup to Memes Blog

March 11, 2020 Janice Arenofsky

I just couldn’t help being interested in the Brit who did his dissertation on memes. Yeah, he’s officially weird, looks gay (and I don’t mean this pejoratively), calls his dissertation a “scholarly shitpost.” It included […]
