Etiquette That Still Matters

Placeholder post. Replace this with a real article — this text exists to prove the blog system works end to end.

Most etiquette advice is nostalgia for rules nobody enforces anymore. The version worth keeping is smaller and more useful: put your phone away when someone’s talking to you, arrive when you say you will, thank the people whose job it is to serve you, and don’t make your bad day someone else’s problem.

None of this requires a dinner jacket. It requires noticing other people and choosing, consistently, to make things slightly easier for them.

Swap this placeholder for the real piece when you’re ready.
