Word: Dolmen
Wednesday's word is...
...dolmen.
a megalithic tomb with a large flat stone laid on upright ones, found chiefly in Britain and France.

I found it in the new detective novel I'm reading Three Bags Full by Leonie Swann.
Othello disappeared into the shadow of the dolmen near the place where George lay pinned to the ground by the spade.
[Note: Othello is a sheep]

Conservation
Aspen trees are flourishing again in Yellowstone for the first time in 80 years, thanks to gray wolf’s return
“The reintroduction of large carnivores has initiated a recovery process that had been shut down for decades,” Luke Painter, the study’s lead author, told Oregon State University.
“About a third of the 87 aspen stands we examined had large numbers of tall saplings throughout, a remarkable change from the 1990s when surveys found none at all.”

The Desert Butterfly Yearns to Be Caught by Kaede Yuunami
Seto, the young head of a desert country, was restless and dissatisfied. Even when he wanted to enjoy a night out, his personal bodyguard Kyle was too controlling.
As lord of a thriving desert country, Seth is responsible for the prosperity and protection of his people... even if that means occasionally putting himself at risk. Fortunately, Seth's bodyguard, Kyle, is ready to yank his master out of harm's way... whether Seth likes it or not.
In the decade since Seth bought him out of servitude, Kyle has become a dogged, dedicated (obsessive, overbearing) bodyguard, willing to sacrifice everything for the safety of his master. Seth, however, resents feeling caged by Kyle's constant controlling attentions...
When Kyle finally crosses the line, will it be enough to capture his master's heart...?

The full-color Boys’ Love webtoon hit inspired by ancient Egyptian mythology!
Nine powerful gods of ancient Egypt form the Ennead. When the god of war, Seth, kills his brother Osiris and takes over Egypt, he ushers in an era of chaos and cruelty. Centuries later, a new challenger appears: Horus, the child of Isis. Horus is not yet a full god, but he has the support of other deities to dethrone Seth. The conflict between Seth and Horus that begins as a series of trials warps into a complex web of deceit, obsession...and desire. This hit Boys’ Love webtoon is a reimagining of one of the oldest myths in human civilization!

Seven Seas will release two versions of the series, which were originally drawn for different audiences: a paperback version rated Older Teen, and a deluxe hardcover version rated Mature.

Cute but Not Cute by Senmu Sakishita
Keiichi Hozumi (30) is a perfect man who has been blessed with everything. The company he started is going well, his private life is very fulfilling, and everything in life is as he pleases. Except for one thing: he is extremely lonely.
Keiichi Hozumi has it all: the looks, the charm, the flashy CEO status... the only thing missing is a single shred of self-sufficiency. Not a problem, though— Hozumi's assistant and long-time friend, Ibuki, has got it covered!
When Hozumi's endless string of one-night stands suddenly falls through, Ibuki is there to tend to ALL of his boss's needs. But once they've crossed that line, there's no turning back... especially since Ibuki has spent the last eight years wanting Hozumi all to himself.
What happens when an insufferable rich kid and his steely sidekick start hooking up? Codependence never looked so cute! ...Yet, totally not cute.

Daydream - October 3, 1995
When I first heard the lead single “Fantasy,” I was delighted by the Tom Tom Club sample. Still a total jam. And yes, the video was always in rotation. I heard that and “One Sweet Day” and “Always Be My Baby” frequently on the radio.
I like the “Fantasy” version with O.D.B., too. I sympathize with her struggle to put more variety into her music and get out from the under the Adult Contemporary genre.
When this album appeared, I was still doing my 90s thing of working and hanging out with friends. But I was also hitting a wall. It was time to make a change, but I wasn’t sure yet what I needed to do and how I would do it. I took a road trip to the mountains and walked through a botanical garden wondering what I should do.
Great closer: “Looking In” is a moving, introspective journey. This song stays with me.

A Boys’ Love manga about just how complicated love is when opposites attract.
Kanata is a handsome young man who can’t help but be the center of attention, even when his mind is miles away. Akira is the perfect student who barely talks to anyone. They don’t even know each other’s names, but they can’t forget each other’s faces. And then one day, these two happen to meet on the stairwell near the rooftop and find comfort in each other's company. From then on, it becomes their secret rendezvous spot. Slowly they discover that while they might be completely different, they both have feelings for each other. Is this a case of opposites attract, or are the differences too great for them to ever truly connect?
