How to be a great guest in a few easy steps:

1) let your yes be yes: don't commit if you have no intention of attending; don't flake within 24 hours of the event

It affects your host's ability to plan well + it sucks to be in the middle of prep and get "I'm not coming" texts 2) arrive in a timely manner: unless the host says it's a drop-in event, assume they would like you there when they asked / you agreed to be there

They are timing the food they're preparing and probably don't need more than 5-10 minutes as a grace window

Aside from being miserable + rude, people like this display the most boring lack of imagination I can fathom

Absolutely pathetic

And I usually just block and move on, but this time I want to make one thing very clear: I am adored

🧵 Image Nope, I’m not thin. This isn’t news to me

And this really bothers some people, but: I am treasured, I am adored, and not to be crude, but I have lots of sex (with the lights on) under the gaze of someone who likes what he sees

Not sorry if that fucks with your worldview
