You're probably reading this because you asked me for proof that I write. As from the mouth of our Twitter-obsessed new leader, "I know words. I have the best words." I, too, am capable of stringing together bits of the English language to form somewhat coherent phrases. Existential troglodytes. Fruit flies on the down-low. Marketing chauvinists is actually antidisestablishmentarianism. You know, words. Those pesky little things.

    In addition to knowing where not to place ""punctu,ation"", I am also well-versed in knowledge of line

breaks

and when not to use them. And, for the record, I really enjoy it when commas are used properly, especially in cases regarding spelling, grammar, and the proper use of the Oxford comma. Another tool in my compositional arsenal is my indispensable miscellany of oral and written vernacular, sometimes known as a "vocabulary". I'm a fan of simple verbage juxtaposed against ornamental language. It creates contrast. 

    That entire chunk of text makes me a little nauseated. Sometimes simplicity is more important than showing off your skills as a human dictionary.

    This example of my writing isn't very long yet, so I guess I'll talk about myself. I'm currently 22 years old, even though I appear (and sound) closer to 16. One of the only perks of being transgender is that whole "eternal youth" thing. Have you ever seen a 25 year old trans guy? They all look 20. Every last one. 

    If this piece was for an employer, and you read that last part and decided you don't want to hire me because of it, I probably didn't want to work for you anyway. Your loss. I'm fun. I bring office snacks and make bad puns. 

    I'm in a band. We do things. I play synthesizers, and so does my bandmate. Surprise! We play electronica. Some of our recordings online have "real instruments". Here's a link: https://rebisineden.bandcamp.com/. The vocals are me, pre-hormones. My voice has only sort of changed.

    To be totally honest, I hate writing about myself, so now I'm going to write about something completely different.

    A "meme", according to Merriam-Webster, is "an idea, behavior, style, or usage that spreads from person to person within a culture". Widely regarded as a newer, internet-bred word, the term actually was first used in 1976 by British scientist Richard Dawkins, in his book The Selfish Gene. Now, in the age of instant everything and attention deficits, memes have taken on an important, but seemingly trivial, role in internet culture. From the days of lolcats and rage comics, to dank memes and the sadboi aesthetic, these circulating images online have formed a distinct experience for the user, unique to this generation and our technology. The entire process of using the internet, especially social media, would be completely different without them.

    Now that I've written a paragraph on the history and significance of memes, I'm sure you're wondering how I'm going to close this piece out.

    I'm not.
