Happy National Punctuation Day‽ (en.wikipedia.org)

The interrobang in the title is in honor of the day and also shows both my surprise and approval that the day exists.

The guy that created it had a whole website set up for it, but the domain lapsed this year. Here's an archived version:

If this day appeals to you, I'd recommend reading Shady Characters: The Secret Life of Punctuation, Symbols & Other Typographical Marks. Also a reminder that bookwyrm.social exists as a federated alternative to GoodReads, and is good way to link to books instead of Amazon or what-have-you.
