Kevin passed about an hour ago. The time to find his cats a home IS now, and I'm not one step closer to finding it. Please, friends.

When we first published about Semicolon owner Danielle Moore’s fundraiser to keep the bookstore alive, she had raised $9,000. Now her Kickstarter is at $17,000. The goal is $25,000. “If it works, that’s great. We can stay,” she says. thetriibe.com/2025/02/semi...
