This is an anti-despair checkpoint! You must share something you're looking forward to before scrolling on.

I'll be an avid shipper of something until someone walks in and says "there is NO platonic explanation for this" and suddenly I've never shipped it before in my life and they're just friends and I can't lie i can't really see them being in a romantic relationship with each other yeah sorry I just don't see it

We genuinely as a society need to bring back awareness of 'Ms.' as a term of address because just this week I saw Ms. Piggy and an MS Paint tuna (it was a pun) both referred to as 'Miss'. 'Ms.' has kind of fallen off in recent years, I think partly because formality in speech has kind of fallen off in day-to-day life in general, and partly because of a whole bunch of things about the way feminism has developed since the 70s and how its priorities have shifted.

So! For those of you who haven't encountered this term of address before. Ms. is not short for 'Miss'. It's pronounced as Miz, and it was invented with the intention of giving women a respectful formal term (supposedly equivalent to Mr.) that says 'whether or not I'm married is none of your damn business'. And I think that's beautiful.
