Semicolons should separate related ideas; they should work as independent sentences though.
Em dashes–contrary to how most people use them–are for asides or supplementary information. I also see them used to show a conclusion–a direct response to a prior statement that doesn’t seem appropriate to put in a new sentence.
I sometimes use semicolons when I realise I have been using too many commas and I don’t feel like breaking up into multiple sentences. So, kinda like a bigger comma.
I understand that makes it wrong, though.
just swap them out with semicolons; no one knows how they’re supposed to work anyway

Best choice is to switch out the em dashes for parentheses ( even where that doesn’t make any sense.
yeah, emoji or em dashes will get you hanged around these parts :)
Punctuation: gotta love it.
Thank goodness I was raised where etc. I was; feel like I have a handle on it.
But who knows—maybe I’m imperfect with them!
(howdid I doozie here^ pls)
Edit: Okay, just read it—your comment, I mean—and I used v2 of your em dash, so here’s v1 :)
