Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

It was fun creating a meme from scratch. It was not fun altering someone else's meme. I didn't like that at all. I had to google the images to find the blank one, and the website we were given didn't erase someone else's text in a meme. I was frustrated. Also, I didn't like that I had to wait for everyone else to post their meme so I could alter them. I still have one to go and I have a million things I have to do today, so who knows if it will get done.
I like that in Meme's you can just say stupid things, or witty things, or you can use your meme to get your political agenda across. I think in our exercise I tried to stay political and religiously neutral. I didn't want to offend anyone in the class. Although, if this were a meme that I was just going to publish anonymously, I think I'd have more freedom. I hate that about anonymity by the way. I can't stand when people say things thinking they have no consequences. That's when people get ugly. What I am unsure of, is could text only be a meme? Does it have to have a familiar picture? According to the text we read, that is one of the factors, but I think a familiar quote slightly altered would have the same effect as a meme with a picture. I couldn't understand the repetition requirement until I kept seeing these cats with "haz". What does "haz" mean anyway?
