Gray on O Caftan My Caftan

I am poor - generationally poor! lifelong poor! worryingly poor! - and I completely expect a host to keep whatever I bring as an offering, smh. It's a GIFT. What is the world coming to?? As a neurodivergent person who is constantly wanting structure for social situations, I find etiquette absolutely alluring. I remember reading several etiquette books aimed at teens growing up. A lot of it was difficult to relate to due to the, y'know, poor thing, but much of it can be useful! I look forward to this as a new column! (Me looking at the release form section on the submission page and seeing that it could be used for "future projects:" Krista, if your next book is a queer etiquette book I WILL SCREAMMMMM.)
