JR Atkinson

JR is a Cheezburger editor and gal about town. She's been writing about culture (internet and otherwise) since she could hold a laptop. Some of her earliest internet memories are browsing memes on her iPod touch on the school bus, so it's only natural that she spends her professional life editing them. She hails from Chicago but now lives in New York City, so her opinions on pizza are deep-seated and complex. Don't ask her about it unless you want her launching into an hour-long screed on what even constitutes a “pizza.”  In her free time, you can find her practicing yoga, making playlists for her friends, or bothering her roommate's cat. She's also a comedy writer and performer, so watch out or she might invite you to her improv show.
