Interstitial: The handshake will return. It’s too much a part of who we are.

Opinion: (There’s an easy solution for replacing handshakes forever): Post opinion piece by John-Clark Levin is a PhD candidate in politics and international studies at the University of Cambridge who, with George Posner, in 2009, set the since-broken Guinness record according to Guinness for “Longest Continuous Handshake.”

Dutch PM Mark Rutte announces a no-handshake rule in March 2020 and then shakes hands with a health official at the end of the presser, realizes and apologizes.

Navigating the return to the office

Navigating the return to the office - The Washington Post

It goes by many names, both dreary and upbeat: the office, the workspace, the firm, the grind. The campus, headquarters, downtown. Mostly we just call it work. Now, a moment of pandemic-era reckoning is nigh: Bit by bit, we are returning to the office. Some of us volunteered to go first, because it felt right; others had no choice — the boss said come back and they did, or soon will.

Our feelings about this are literally all over the map: Some corporations saw the light and let their employees fling themselves hither and yon, working remotely, a temporary solution that became a permanent win-win. Other, more traditional CEOs feel something’s been lost in the untethering from the mother ship, and that mutual, intellectual sparking happens best at the office.

Hollywood has been onto office ennui for decades now, producing sharp satire about the cramped closeness, horrible bosses and unwanted collegiality that so often veered toward microaggressions and worse. It looks different now; feels different, too. But will it be all that different, once your badge beeps you back in? Is revolution coming? Or just banal familiarity?

First, all the little things: Handshakes? Hugs? Wardrobe? Lunch? Will you fall into your old habits? What have we learned? Who are we now at the office?

Consider this section, featuring the work of Washington Post writers who cover culture, business, food and wellness, as a reorientation to the place we love to loathe and are loath to love.

Productivity gurus think our ability to focus may be limited to four or five hours a day. Make the most of them by doing your work in chunks, scheduling breaks in between, determine your most creative times of day and reduce distractions. <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/wellness/productivity-focus-work-tips/2021/05/31/07453934-bfd0-11eb-b26e-53663e6be6ff_story.html" target=_blank>Story</a>

The pandemic and working from home made many commutes seem unnecessary. But a return to offices means it’s time to hit the roads and rails again — and not everyone is excited. <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/wellness/commute-return-to-work-stress/2021/07/13/dc23cd0c-e35a-11eb-8aa5-5662858b696e_story.html" target=_blank>Tips</a>

The best way to prevent burnout is to change the workplace. As new routines are being established, it’s an ideal time for bosses to check in on company culture. Plus, advice for employees on establishing boundaries and getting support. <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/wellness/burnout-prevent-recover-work-advice/2021/06/14/d897dc1a-cd4c-11eb-8014-2f3926ca24d9_story.html" target=_blank>Advice</a>

Massaging away your own knots and stress, or those of a partner. Press on or roll your trigger points with your fingers, knuckles or a tennis or massage ball. <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2020/lifestyle/wellness/how-to-give-a-massage/" target=_blank>Guide</a>

As our social lives restart, many of us are rusty, tongue-tied, rambling or insecure — and we don’t know what to do with our hands. <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2021/04/24/awkward-social-pandemic-return/" target=_blank>Story</a>

Whether workers wind up at home, in offices or in hybrid work systems, mental health experts hope bosses’ decisions will prioritize individual well-being as much as possible. <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/wellness/working-from-home-office-benefits/2021/06/24/d1f92d86-d077-11eb-8014-2f3926ca24d9_story.html" target="_blank">Story</a>

Americans are booking working “vacci-cations” before office life resumes. White-collar employees are taking working vacations while they can and hoping the trend sticks post-pandemic. <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2021/05/18/last-remote-work-vacation/" target=_blank>Story</a>

From the artist: “I wanted to show a sort of balance between the two experiences of working from home versus the office. On paper, staying at home may still look like the most charming option (meaning: snooze fest) even if we all learned there are many sneaky downsides of smart working. I have a whole second season planned, where the in-laws come to visit. The working title is ‘Looking for a co-working space in the area.’ ” — Giacomo Gambineri

We hate the office. We love the office. Do we want to go back? After the pandemic, our culture of “Dilbert” and “Mad Men” and kvetching about bosses is coming to a head. <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2021/06/30/office-return-work-from-home/" target=_blank>Story</a>

Hugs are coming back. Not everyone is thrilled. Non-huggers enjoyed the year-long break, but now it’s open season on affectionate squeezes. <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2021/05/15/hugs-greeting-pandemic/" target="_blank">Tips</a>

We don’t know how to get dressed anymore. And our pants don’t fit. <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/fashion-clothes-what-to-wear-pandemic/2021/06/04/f534bd76-bfb3-11eb-9c90-731aff7d9a0d_story.html" target=_blank>Story</a> Plus, now is the perfect time to rethink your wardrobe, with an eye toward sustainability. <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/road-to-recovery/now-is-the-perfect-time-to-rethink-your-wardrobe-with-an-eye-toward-sustainability/2021/01/25/8895ff1c-542a-11eb-a08b-f1381ef3d207_story.html" target=_blank>Advice</a>

Who were we and what were we thinking? A return to offices frozen in time. For workers who haven’t been back in many months, a cubicle is a tiny museum to pre-pandemic life. <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/returning-to-office-frozen-in-pre-pandemic-time/2021/04/27/281ce604-9959-11eb-b28d-bfa7bb5cb2a5_story.html" target="_blank">Story</a>

Our pandemic eyebrows are driving us crazy. Can we learn to love them? Our brow appointments became dangerous, sparking a year of obsessive plucking and chronic self-consciousness. <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2021/02/06/eyebrows-waxing-threading-salon-home-quarantine/" target="_blank">Story</a>

There are many moods to soundtrack a commute. Whether you’re filled with nervous energy to be on time for that first meeting. You want traffic — and your music — to take its sweet time. You want to get amped to grab hold of the day. Or need these precious moments of serene, deep listening before the day swallows you whole. Here’s some listening for those feelings from over the past year.

— <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/people/hau-chu/" target=_blank>Hau Chu</a>

Who needs that first cup of coffee? One of the most fun groups of punks having the time of their lives. Watch the short film accompaniment on YouTube at your desk lunch later.

Inspiring and soaring. A new texture or sound wave to unpack every listen. All hail the guitar god.

For morning meditation. One of our most curious and finest listeners delivers a defining statement on the natural world.

Florida band creates something weird, profound and a total blast. Call it emo, screamo, whatever. If you dig it, you won’t forget about it for a very long time.

Floating Points &amp; Pharaoh Sanders feat. London Symphony Orchestra

When you need to transcend. A masterful concoction conjured up by a jazz maestro, electronic wizard and chamber ensemble.

In the Before Times, the best part of my commute was listening to a podcast — living inside a whole different world in my head for 35 minutes before and after work. For me, having more built-in time for podcast listening in my day is one perk of returning to the office. Here are five podcasts particularly well-suited for commuting.

— <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/people/martine-powers/" target=_blank>Martine Powers</a>

It’s a show about crimes — but it’s not morbid, or lurid. It’s more about choices, and the surprising places where those choices can take you.

A podcast about the female gaze. This is what I listen to when I want to stifle giggles on the bus.

A podcast about resolving lingering questions. This is what I listen to when I want to cry silently on the train.

A fiction podcast that is sound-rich and intimate. (Emphasis on “intimate”; I’d give it a PG-13 rating.) An audio reimmersion into the world of crowded clubs, loud bars and whispering to a stranger late at night.

A podcast about sounds and where they come from. The perfect antidote to spending the last 18 months in the domestic equivalent of a sensory deprivation chamber.

Lindsey Made This

Can a presidential era also be defined by the cultural buzz going on around it? - The Washington Post

New president, new vibes. The Barack Obama years brought “Game of Thrones,” “Hamilton” and lots of craft brew. During Donald Trump’s first few months in office, Hollywood served racial and political trauma as horror (“Get Out”) and dystopia (“The Handmaid’s Tale”).

Now, with President Biden marking 100 days in office, has our constantly buzzing culture offered up that one thing that will set an overall mood? Will any of it make perfect sense to future pop historians? Cancel culture? Tik Tok pasta? “I am not a cat”? For your consideration, and theirs: a list of events, releases, memes and moments from the first 100 days — many of which have already been forgotten. And some that might stick around a while, like a stuck cargo ship.
