Meanwhile, in South Korea: "Starting at the end of November, public parking lots with more than 80 spaces will be required to install solar power generation facilities. This obligation applies not only to newly constructed parking lots but also to existing ones."

I have listened to Diablo Swing Orchestra's album "Swagger and Stroll Down the Rabbit Hole" an absolutely criminal amount of times while working on this book.
While outlining, though, the album of choice was Opeth's "Blackwater Park." No idea what this combination means.

excited to be a part of this sturgeon release tomorrow. our water quality team will be represented at Merwin’s Wharf 1-4pm and we’d love to see you there.
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources will release 2,000 fingerling sturgeon into the Cuyahoga River, hoping that in 15 to 20 years they will come back to reproduce.
Once abundant Lake Erie fish to be stocked Saturday at three Cuyahoga River sites
The sturgeon population in Lake Erie was depleted starting in the 1800s and now efforts are underway to bring it back.

I like the Terraforming Mars board game but it always seems that I go for a corporation that does X, and then get cards that exclusively cater to every other letter of the alphabet. I'm like "I need solutions to generate power" and my entire science team are "Hey I just invented a tardigrade."

Toni Morrison wrote that “all water has a perfect memory and is forever trying to get back to where it was”. Morrison was talking about writing and the Mississippi, but she could easily have been talking about the creeks that flow through 'Honeyeater'. satpa.pe/Zo0OpGR
Honeyeater
Toni Morrison once observed that “all water has a perfect memory and is forever trying to get back to where it was”. Morrison was talking about writing, but her thinking was steeped in the fluvial, the tendency of rivers to reassert themselves in the face of human interference. As Morrison said, “ ‘floods’ is the word they use, but in fact it is not flooding; it is remembering”.

What are some trad pub SFF/H books that have been out at least a year that you think didn't get enough attention? Adult or YA. Marginalized authors preferred, and small press titles encouraged. Not looking for big bestsellers or award-sweepers.
