You’ve been told Victorian social rules were stiff, outdated, and useless. But some of them could actually fix modern problems. Awkward dates. Clout-chasing. Loneliness. They had a rule for all of it. Should we bring back these 13 old-school customs? 🧵👇
There comes a day for all of us, when we hug & hold tight those whom we are closest to & who mean everything to us, shed a tear, and head home from #OSH25 😉
