Today is also “World Semicolon Day” which is not, as you might think, a day to celebrate an underappreciated punctuation mark.
“World Semicolon Day is “a day to celebrate those who chose not to end their lives because their stories are not over yet.” It pays tribute to those who have thought about or attempted suicide, and it informs people about how common suicide is.”
