Miriam Jayaratna has a doctorate in clinical psychology, but she’s determined to not let that stop her from writing deranged comedy for the internet.

Her short humor has appeared in publications like The New Yorker’s Shouts and Murmurs, Reductress, and McSweeney’s Internet Tendency.

You can do a deeper dive into Miriam’s psyche by following her on Twitter and Instagram, where she brags about how many cents she makes on Medium each month and posts pictures of her maladjusted corgi stepson.
