“Dizzy Gillespie For President” pin from his actual run in 1963. He would have renamed The White House to be The Blues House. America chose unwisely.

You’re cute just saying that is all.
Awe :) well thank you!
[You’re cute when the only thing you’re saying is ‘That is all’.]
bleep-bloop: “How to Write Good”
- Avoid alliteration. Always. [Sew Lol.]
- Prepositions are not words to end sentences with. [Except for it’s fine.]
- Avoid cliches like the plague. (They’re old hat.) [Nonsense]
- Employ the vernacular. [Nonsense]
- Eschew ampersands & abbreviations, etc. [No one uses ampersand anyway.]
- Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are unnecessary. [In every situation, right?]
- It is wrong to ever split an infinitive. [Why?]
- Contractions aren’t necessary. [But they are good.]
- Foreign words and phrases are not apropos. [Nonsense
- One should never generalize. [Why shouldn’t one?]
- Eliminate quotations. As Ralph Waldo Emerson once said: “I hate quotations. Tell me what you know.” [A lot of the time, quotable people know better.]
- Comparisons are as bad as cliches. [Comparisons help people understand & are an important part in ‘Writing good’. ]*
- Don’t be redundant; don’t use more words than necessary; it’s highly superfluous. [(Call the department!)]
- Profanity sucks. [Unless it’s in a QUOTATION! SEW LOL.]
- Be more or less specific. [Hi-hi-hi.]
- Understatement is always best. [I love how these tumblr people can never explain anything.]
- Exaggeration is a billion times worse than understatement. [*This works here too.]
- One-word sentences? Eliminate. [Why?]
- Analogies in writing are like feathers on a snake. [Nonsense.]
- The passive voice is to be avoided. [(Sew Lol I know language terms & picked some & said they are wrong.)]
- Go around the barn at high noon to avoid colloquialisms. [Nonsense]
- Even if a mixed metaphor stings, it should be derailed. [(See #20)]
- Who needs rhetorical questions? [Who ever said ‘writing good’ was about necessity?]
