<;/div>; <;/div>;<;/div>;<;p>;When youre traveling but have pets‚ a whole new set of problems comes up. Perhaps the biggest and most important is what hotels to stay at because not all will accept pets. Even those that do typically charge an eye watering deposit or fee‚ making matters even worse. What about Best Western‚ you may ask? Do they allow pets?<;/p>;<;p>;Yes‚ most Best Western hotels are pet-friendly and gladly welcome your four-legged friends‚ feline or canine. Some even permit birds‚ snakes‚ and other pets‚ but the policy is subject to change. Managers of individual locations‚ for instance‚ may decide to not allow birds‚ cats‚ or dogs if they wish‚ even if the company policy is that pets are welcome at Best Western hotels.<;/p>;<;p>;If that seems a little confusing‚ its because it is. <;strong>;Most Best Westerns are cool with your beloved pets‚ but a few might not be.<;/strong>; Your best bet is to get on the phone or your email and directly contact the Best Western you want to stay at <;em>;before<;/em>; you book your stay and to specifically ask for pet-friendly accommodations.<;/p>;<;p>;<;img decoding=";async"; class=";aligncenter size-full wp-image-417064"; src=";https://www.catster.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Cats-1-1.png"; alt=";cat paw divider"; width=";1200"; height=";120"; srcset=";https://www.catster.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Cats-1-1.png 1200w‚ https://www.catster.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Cats-1-1-600x60.png 600w‚ https://www.catster.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Cats-1-1-800x80.png 800w‚ https://www.catster.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Cats-1-1-768x77.png 768w‚ https://www.catster.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Cats-1-1-250x25.png 250w"; sizes=";(max-width: 1200px) 100vw‚ 1200px";>;<;/p>;<;h2>;Best Western Pet Policy‚ Fees‚ &;amp; Rules<;/h2>;<;figure aria-describedby=";caption-attachment-446613"; class=";wp-caption aligncenter";>;<;img decoding=";async"; class=";size-full wp-image-446613"; src=";https://www.catster.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Best-Western-Hotel-Madison.png"; alt=";Best Western Hotel Madison"; width=";788"; height=";651"; srcset=";https://www.catster.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Best-Western-Hotel-Madison.png 788w‚ https://www.catster.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Best-Western-Hotel-Madison-600x496.png 600w‚ https://www.catster.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Best-Western-Hotel-Madison-768x634.png 768w‚ https://www.catster.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Best-Western-Hotel-Madison-250x207.png 250w"; sizes=";(max-width: 788px) 100vw‚ 788px";>;<;figcaption class=";wp-caption-text";>;Image Credit: <;a href=";https://www.bestwestern.com/";>;Best Western Hotel Madison<;/a>;<;/figcaption>;<;/figure>;<;p>;Best Western has over 1‚200 pet-friendly locations in North America‚ and youll have no problem finding one nearly anywhere you go in the US.

There is no official list of Holiday Inns that are pet friendly‚ but you can find locations by searching Holiday Inns parent company website. Just input your destination‚ and a list of pet-friendly locations should be generated along with links to the specific hotels so you can learn more about their pet policies and guidelines.<;/p>;<;h2>;Holiday Inns Pet Policies<;/h2>;<;p>;Holiday Inn strives to maintain a harmonious balance between accommodating people with pets and those who arent interested in having anything to do with animals. Therefore‚ each location has specific pet policies that must be followed by guests during their stay. These policies vary from location to location‚ so youll need to verify them with the specific Holiday Inn that you plan to stay at with your pet before you get there.<;/p>;<;p>;Most Holiday Inns that accept pets require an additional deposit that can range from anywhere between about $5 and $50 (or more) a night‚ which is to help pay for any damage thats done to the room and/or additional cleaning services that are needed after check-out.

First‚ make sure your pet is housetrained. Dogs should know how to hold it until they can get outside for a potty break‚ and cats should be able and <;a href=";https://www.catster.com/gear/best-travel-litter-boxes/"; target=";_blank"; rel=";noopener";>;willing to use a litter box<;/a>; even in strange environments.

Therefore‚ its a good idea to stay with your pet as much as you can. Try to keep outings under about 15 minutes to minimize the risk of your pet disturbing neighboring guests.<;/li>;<;li>;<;i class=";sui sui-paw";>;<;/i>; <;strong>;Treat Your Pet for Fleas Beforehand:<;/strong>; If the hotel discovers that your pet has left fleas behind‚ there is a chance that youll pay an extra fee for the treatment services that will be necessary before new guests can occupy the space.<;/li>;<;li>;<;i class=";sui sui-paw";>;<;/i>; <;strong>;Be Honest:<;/strong>; Its not worth risking your stay at any Holiday Inn by lying about things <;a href=";https://www.catster.com/cat-breeds/largest-domestic-cat-breeds"; target=";_blank"; rel=";noopener";>;like your pets size<;/a>; or breed. If your pet is larger than the hotels policy allows for‚ dont try to sneak them in‚ anyway.

Like all vets (presumably)‚ I love animals‚ and I chose this career so I could make a difference in their lives. It wasnt always an easy or straightforward path‚ involving years of studying‚ holidays sacrificed to gain practical experience‚ and a sizable student loan to pay back. But to be fair‚ vet school was also one of the best times of my life. I met people who‚ almost twenty years later‚ are still some of my closest friends‚ and although we worked hard‚ we partied hard as well.<;/p>;<;h2>;The Business of Being A Vet<;/h2>;<;p>;I think all vet students enter the profession with wide eyes shielded by rose-colored glasses‚ imagining days of saving lives‚ healing the sick and fixing the broken‚ and there is a fair amount of that. But the reality for most general practice vets are days filled with vaccinations‚ itchy dogs‚ sneezing cats‚ and the pressure of meeting KPI targets. When you spend five or six years learning all there is to know about the anatomy‚ physiology‚ diseases‚ and treatments for a multitude of animal species‚ its easy to forget about the fact that most veterinary practices are businesses‚ and in order for us to have a nice building‚ decent equipment‚ good staff‚ and get paid‚ that business needs to make a profit.<;/p>;<;p>;I have always taken personal offense when I hear people accuse vets of being in it for the money or overcharging for services. I cant tell you the number of times people have come to collect their pets after a major surgery‚ to which they consented after being provided with an estimate‚ only to say that they cant pay until next week‚ or at all. Well madam‚ that wouldnt exactly fly at the mechanic or the supermarket‚ would it? But because ours is an emotional profession‚ we are demonized for expecting to be paid for the service we provide. And believe me‚ were not all driving our brand-new Teslas back to our luxury mansions each night.<;/p>;<;p>;One thing I came to understand is that veterinarians do not always make the best business owners unless they remove themselves from the consulting rooms. By nature‚ vets are sympathetic‚ and want to be able to <;a href=";https://www.catster.com/guides/how-to-switch-vets/"; target=";_blank"; rel=";noopener";>;give every animal the best possible care<;/a>;‚ no matter the cost. When you are faced with a pet in need of help‚ with an owner who has no money‚ we all-too-often undervalue our services to make sure that animal receives the treatment it needs. I have worked with my share of practice owners who have berated me for knocking a bit of the price to help out a client‚ only to turn round and do the very same thing themselves; we are just too soft!<;/p>;<;p>;So it became more and more common for practices to be run by vets who no longer did clinical work‚ or by non-veterinary practice managers‚ who could monitor the books and come down on us hard when we discounted our services. The fact is‚ if we dont charge correctly‚ we will soon be out of business‚ and wont be able to help anyone. But this knowledge doesnt make it any easier when you have a pet in need and the pleading eyes of their owner in front of you.<;/p>;<;figure aria-describedby=";caption-attachment-551746"; class=";wp-caption aligncenter";>;<;img fetchpriority=";high"; decoding=";async"; class=";wp-image-551746 size-full"; src=";https://www.catster.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/This-bunch-costs-about-1400-per-year-in-insurance_Dr-Karyn.jpg"; alt=";This bunch costs about $1400 per year in insurance"; width=";1000"; height=";633"; srcset=";https://www.catster.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/This-bunch-costs-about-1400-per-year-in-insurance_Dr-Karyn.jpg 1000w‚ https://www.catster.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/This-bunch-costs-about-1400-per-year-in-insurance_Dr-Karyn-600x380.jpg 600w‚ https://www.catster.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/This-bunch-costs-about-1400-per-year-in-insurance_Dr-Karyn-800x506.jpg 800w‚ https://www.catster.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/This-bunch-costs-about-1400-per-year-in-insurance_Dr-Karyn-768x486.jpg 768w‚ https://www.catster.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/This-bunch-costs-about-1400-per-year-in-insurance_Dr-Karyn-250x158.jpg 250w"; sizes=";(max-width: 1000px) 100vw‚ 1000px";>;<;figcaption class=";wp-caption-text";>;My bunch is fully insured at about $1400 per year<;/figcaption>;<;/figure>;<;h2>;Vets = Big Investments<;/h2>;<;p>;As veterinary practices have evolved from a simple enterprise based on simple medicine‚ into complex medical businesses‚ large corporations started to see their value. After all‚ the veterinary industry is one that is constantly growing and evolving; the investment opportunities are endless.<;/p>;<;p>;Over the past decade or so‚ I have seen dozens and dozens of small‚ independent veterinary practices give in to financial pressure and sell their business to larger veterinary chains like Vet Partners‚ VCA and IVC Evidensia. Often this happens very quietly‚ with no change to the practice name or branding‚ leaving pet owners none-the-wiser‚ but in the background‚ decisions about pricing‚ protocols‚ products‚ and payroll are all being made by people working in an office hundreds of miles away. Sure‚ they send a representative out every month or so to check up and put a human face to the company‚ but for the practice staff‚ it means that every decision needs to be run by someone at head office; even when youre talking to your boss‚ youre not talking to the person who can make the decisions.<;/p>;<;p>;<;img decoding=";async"; class=";aligncenter wp-image-552933 size-full"; src=";https://www.catster.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Spot-the-Difference_Dr-Karyn.jpg"; alt=";Spot the Difference"; width=";1000"; height=";440"; srcset=";https://www.catster.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Spot-the-Difference_Dr-Karyn.jpg 1000w‚ https://www.catster.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Spot-the-Difference_Dr-Karyn-600x264.jpg 600w‚ https://www.catster.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Spot-the-Difference_Dr-Karyn-800x352.jpg 800w‚ https://www.catster.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Spot-the-Difference_Dr-Karyn-768x338.jpg 768w‚ https://www.catster.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Spot-the-Difference_Dr-Karyn-250x110.jpg 250w"; sizes=";(max-width: 1000px) 100vw‚ 1000px";>;<;/p>;<;p>;Although corporate ownership does bring with it certain perks and opportunities‚ such as gym memberships‚ training opportunities‚ and better equipment‚ many vets feel that the perceived loss of control over their case management is not a worthwhile trade-off.<;/p>;<;p>;And for the paying client‚ it means that your money is not just going towards the cost of the veterinary practice‚ equipment‚ and staff‚ it must also generate enough profit to pay the office workers‚ managers‚ board members and shareholders of the parent company.<;/p>;<;p>;Over time‚ these large veterinary groups started to expand beyond just buying up veterinary practices‚ merging with drug companies and laboratories‚ even <;a href=";https://www.catster.com/guides/can-i-get-a-prescription-for-my-cat-online/"; target=";_blank"; rel=";noopener";>;online veterinary pharmacies<;/a>; it didnt matter where your money was being spent‚ it was all going to the one place! Even Mars‚ one of the worlds largest conglomerates has taken a very large bite of the veterinary apple. Of course‚ its all for a good cause. <;a href=";https://www.avma.org/javma-news/2018-12-01/corporatization-veterinary-medicine"; target=";_blank"; rel=";noopener";>;According to Pamela Mars<;/a>;‚ they got into the veterinary business because we love pets‚ not for financial gain. Thats easy to say when your net worth is a little over $6.2 billion‚ Pam!<;/p>;<;h2>;The Corporate Fallout<;/h2>;<;p>;Recently in the UK‚ the <;a href=";https://www.gov.uk/government/news/cma-identifies-multiple-concerns-in-vets-market"; target=";_blank"; rel=";noopener";>;Competitions and Market Authority (CMA) announced<;/a>; that there would be an investigation into veterinary fees and charging. The immediate backlash has been public outrage aimed at veterinary staff‚ rather than where it should be directed‚ <;i>;and <;/i>;what the investigation will be focusing on: the impact that growing corporatization is having on dictating prices and controlling the competition. So much so that it is becoming almost impossible for small‚ independent practices to survive.<;/p>;<;p>;For many vets‚ myself included‚ the pressure to provide an excellent standard of care‚ whilst being mindful of client financial limitations‚ and making sure we were following the protocols and drug recommendations dictated by head office‚ has started to make our vocation feel like a job in sales. Not that theres anything wrong with working in sales‚ its just not what I went to vet school for. Its no secret that the veterinary industry is seeing an unprecedented number of vets leaving the profession‚ with poor work/life balance‚ mental health‚ and the surge in caseload since COVID listed as the main reasons for their decision. Not to mention the fact that the veterinary profession consistently has one of the highest suicide rates.<;/p>;<;figure aria-describedby=";caption-attachment-552941"; class=";wp-caption aligncenter";>;<;img decoding=";async"; class=";size-full wp-image-552941"; src=";https://www.catster.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Its-not-always-cuddles-and-smiles_Dr-Karyn.jpg"; alt=";It';s not always cuddles and smiles!"; width=";452"; height=";800"; srcset=";https://www.catster.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Its-not-always-cuddles-and-smiles_Dr-Karyn.jpg 452w‚ https://www.catster.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Its-not-always-cuddles-and-smiles_Dr-Karyn-250x442.jpg 250w"; sizes=";(max-width: 452px) 100vw‚ 452px";>;<;figcaption class=";wp-caption-text";>;Its not always cuddles and smiles!<;/figcaption>;<;/figure>;<;h2>;How This Affects You and Your Cat<;/h2>;<;p>;You might be wondering what significance this all has to the care of your cat. No matter what‚ your pet will get the best possible care‚ but as more vets walk away from clinical work‚ they take their expertise and experience with them. Which‚ from the perspective of veterinary groups hoping to streamline their services‚ is probably a good thing‚ as it is far easier to shape newly graduated vets into the practitioners they need‚ rather than butt heads with people like me‚ who take a little bit of pleasure at pushing back against decisions founded in bureaucracy and profit margins rather than patient and client interests.<;/p>;<;p>;Am I being a tad cynical?

Hannah Yang gave me one of those with Now that Ive failed as a woman‚ my punishment is to become a garden. Her story is exactly what the sentence describes. A woman fails to meet the rigid‚ patriarchal rules of her societyin other words‚ she cannot have childrenand is condemned to be turned into a garden.

In Winnets town‚ she sits on the council helping to keep order. When the town council vote to let in the Caravan of Light‚ Winnet isnt happy about it. The traveling show breaks the borders between the living and the dead and allows spirits to walk the earth for one night.

Its written in the style of a GoFundMe appeal for covering healthcare costs for a fairy attacked by three children‚ and the comments various donors have left in support. Vivian Chous insightful satire pokes at the ways allies often fall into performance territory‚ either with performative outrage or offering meaningless sympathy. She touches on the way the system oppresses and how when individuals collectivize under resistance‚ the system finds another way to get at you.<;strong>;(<;em>;Flashpoint SF<;/em>;‚ March 8‚ 2024)<;/strong>;<;/p>;<;div aria-hidden=";true"; class=";wp-block-spacer";>;<;/div>;<;p>; <;/p>;<;h3 class=";wp-block-heading";>;<;a href=";https://www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/let-the-star-explode/"; target=";_blank"; rel=";noreferrer noopener";>;Let the Star Explode by Shingai Njeri Kagunda<;/a>;<;/h3>;<;p>;In a not too distant future‚ beings in human shape but decidedly not human arrive on Earth.

Karu has the chance to star jump‚ and the things she experiences during her trip change her in ways she has only begun to understand. It should be no surprise that Shingai Njeri Kagunda has written a beautiful‚ thought-provoking Afrofuturist tale‚ but if this is your first introduction to her‚ get ready for a journey as surreal as Karus. <;strong>;(<;em>;Lightspeed<;/em>;‚ March 2024; issue 166)<;/strong>;<;/p>;<;div aria-hidden=";true"; class=";wp-block-spacer";>;<;/div>;<;h3 class=";wp-block-heading";>;<;a href=";https://www.thedarkmagazine.com/marshman/"; target=";_blank"; rel=";noreferrer noopener";>;Marshman by Sara Omer<;/a>;<;/h3>;<;p>;A cryptozoologist heads out to a strange swamp near a pit on the outskirts of farmland.

Hella lives alone in her apartment after her daughter abandoned her to travel the world. She took with her a magic coat and all Hellas hopes and dreams. The title references a ship from Norse mythology that is made of the finger and toenails of the dead‚ and it gets even more unsettling from there. <;strong>;(<;em>;Gamut<;/em>;‚ March 2024; issue 4)<;/strong>;<;/p>;<;div aria-hidden=";true"; class=";wp-block-spacer";>;<;/div>;<;h3 class=";wp-block-heading";>;<;a href=";https://smallwondersmag.com/piece/saguaro-wedding/"; target=";_blank"; rel=";noreferrer noopener";>;Saguaro Wedding by Jordan Kurella<;/a>;<;/h3>;<;p>;This was the first story I read in the first issue of <;em>;Small Wonders<;/em>; Ive ever read and it was just too perfect to pass up.

Apple TV+ has renewed <;em>;Monarch: Legacy of Monsters<;/em>; for a second seasonand whats more‚ its adding an unspecified number of spinoff series to the Monsterverses small-screen lineup.<;/p>;<;p>;Thats very vague‚ right? But the press release literally says multiple spinoffs‚ with no further details. Vagueness aside‚ the return of <;em>;Monarch<;/em>; is very good news. Even if you have not been keeping up with the various Godzilla-related films of the last decade (I certainly have not)‚ the series is a fascinating‚ character-driven drama with an appealing cast of both established actors and new faces.<;/p>;<;p>;The Russells elder and youngerKurt and Wyattplay the same character‚ Lee Shaw‚ in two time periods. In the 1950s‚ Shaw is part of a team that discovers titans. (Said team includes Mari Yamamoto as brilliant scientist Keiko Miura and Anders Holm as Bill Randa). Decades later‚ in the wake of the Titans battle in San Francisco‚ an older Shaw joins up with a younger generation of characters who have their own reasons to be invested in the secrets of the Titans and Monarch‚ the mysterious agency that has a connection to the giant creatures.<;/p>;<;p>;<;em>;Monarch<;/em>; was co-created by Chris Black (<;em>;Severance<;/em>;) and comics writer Matt Fraction‚ who also serve as co-showrunners. It isand I cannot stress this enough<;em>;very<;/em>; good. It also stars Anna Sawai‚ Kiersey Clemons‚ Ren Watabe‚ Joe Tippett‚ and Takehiro Hira‚ all of whom I hope to keep watching for many seasons to come.<;/p>;<;p>;No production schedule has been announced for season two of <;em>;Monarch: Legacy of Monsters<;/em>; or any of its mysterious spinoffs‚ but in the meantime‚ you can catch up on the first season on Apple TV+.

Who wants Rincewind on their team? (Me‚ I do.)<;/p>;<;p class=";has-lg-font-size";>;Summary<;/p>;<;p>;Glenda and Juliet head back to the university to give themselves an alibi for not being at the match. Ottimony comes in to tell them all about it after leading the wizards there‚ and he swears that Juliet looks like the girl at the match. Glenda is summoned to the Stollops because Juliets dad got a letter from Vetinari‚ asking him to attend a dinner with the wizards to talk about the future of football. Trev finds Nutt asleep at the university‚ having eaten a large quotient of Glendas pies. He tells Glenda and Juliet what happened‚ and when Nutt comes to‚ he start up his work again. But he says a few things about how Trev really feels about his late father that sends Trev catatonic. Glenda asks Nutt how he knows all these things‚ how he managed not to die‚ and where he comes from. Nutt isnt entirely sure; he only knows how he came to be in Ladyships castle and that theres a door in his mind that he cant access. Nutt thinks about writing love poetry for Trev to give Juliet‚ and Juliet bothers Glenda the next day about going to a fashion show‚ which has an ad in the paper next to an article about the origins of football going back a millennia. Glenda agrees to the show‚ but only after she gets a chance to listen in on the University Council meeting.<;/p>;<;p>;The wizards are putting together thoughts for what they need as a team‚ including the pies‚ the uniforms‚ and the fans. Glenda is bemused by the whole conversation and accidentally interjects herself‚ letting them know that theyve got it largely wrongthey wont be able to change much about how football functions‚ and they wont be able to dictate how people enjoy it. She also tells them not to make their uniforms sport a UU across the front‚ or itll make the team look like they have bosoms. Ridcully asks what she does‚ and they all learn that she runs the Night Kitchen and makes the incredible pies theyre all so fond of. After she leaves‚ Ponder notes that Glendas talk of football invoked memories in the group‚ whether or not they had them; it was a kind of religious experience. Glenda goes with Juliet to a dwarf chainmail fashion show run by Madame Sharon‚ who has her assistant Pepe measure Juliet and asks them to help her because her model dropped a pickaxe on her foot. Glenda negotiates a hefty sum for Juliet to model the new cloth-like micromail. The wizards begin their first practice round of football‚ which they dont rightly understand.<;/p>;<;p>;Glenda sees Juliet through her first fashion show. Shes very drunk and stumbles into the next room after its over‚ having a talking with Pepe‚ who turns out to have converted to being a dwarf with Madame Sharons help. They want Juliet to keep working for them‚ planning to pay her lots of money travel her around the Disc. They know Glenda is the key to her cooperation‚ so they ask her to consider it‚ and Glenda decides theyre going home for the night first. Despite the fact that Ridcully promised never to use it for these sorts of purposes‚ he demands that Ponder let them in to the Cabinet of Curiosity so that it can make them a proper footballbecause they dont have one. They can only keep the ball outside the cabinet for about fourteen hours before causing trouble‚ so Ridcully stops Trev and Nutt in the hall and asks them if they know where to have the ball replicated. He gives them money for the job and they set off. Glenda tells Juliet that theyll open up a bank account for her so that her father cant get at her money. Trev and Nutt run into Andy again‚ and when he threatens Trev‚ Nutt threatens to break his hand. They make it to a dwarf shop‚ and ask him to replicate the ball in exchange for money and a university license to make more of them.<;/p>;<;p>;Juliet decides she agrees with Glenda about staying in her job at the university‚ which makes Glenda feel wretched; the next day her picture is in the paper. Trev goes to pee out back while Nutt and the dwarf artisan are working and sees two vampire women outside‚ which Butt later tells him are protection for Ladyship. Nutt delivers the love poem he wrote for Trev to Glenda‚ so she can give it to Juliet. Glenda reads the letter for Juliet and knows that Trev didnt write it‚ but doesnt tell her. Pepe wakes to Times reporters in their store and everyone asking about Juliet. King Rhys has the paper sent via clacks‚ and the grags are in a tizzy about Juliets appearance‚ deeming it undwarfish. Ponder returns the Cabinets ball to the Cabinet and they begin creating teams again. (Rincewind tries to get out of this to no avail.) The (former) Dean has arrived at the university‚ but the game is interrupted by Nutt‚ who means to tell Ridcully that theyre playing the game all wrong‚ and more strategy is needed and‚ indeed‚ more theater. Trev comes to Nutts defense to make sure no one gets upset with him for speaking out of turn‚ but Ridcully is amenable to the idea. Glenda sells a lot more for Stronginthearm and gives him ideas for whole new troll fashion lines.<;/p>;<;div aria-hidden=";true"; class=";wp-block-spacer";>;<;/div>;<;p class=";has-lg-font-size";>;Commentary<;/p>;<;p>;There are several overlays going on with the Juliet and Trev story‚ one of them obviously being the Romeo and Juliet angle that you get from her name and the two houses being their two football teams. This is mostly funny to me because I saw some Tumblr post just a few days ago that was pointing out that the Montagues and Capulets being both alike in dignity as houses did not preclude any level of poshnessthey just needed to be the same. Hence‚ footballer families.<;/p>;<;p>;But the more intriguing slice here is the Cyrano parody‚ at least to me. Nutt is effectively playing the Cyrano part‚ writing letters on Trevs behalf‚ whos in the Christian role. But the intention isnt to make a direct parallel‚ of course‚ because Nutt clearly isnt interested in Juliethe likes Glenda. And I appreciate the lack of conflict‚ but moreso‚ I find myself appreciating the fact that someone whos as bright as Nutt isnt really interested in someone whos pretty if theyre not particularly thoughtful? Juliets not his type‚ so no issue there.<;/p>;<;p>;And conversely‚ Juliets route to becoming a fashion model for micromail is endearing too‚ namely due to Glenda learning some things for herself about snuffing out the desire to dream a little bigger. Do I like that its helped along by too much sherry? Yes‚ I do. I wish sherry talked to me like that. Tequila does‚ though‚ so I cant complain too much.<;/p>;<;p>;Were getting more clues on Nutts true identity as we go‚ but I do appreciate that the mystery is drawn out and viewed from multiple character perspectives‚ making it that much harder to guess point blank.<;/p>;<;p>;The bits where the wizards are practicing football are favorites for me because it reads like its written by someone who feels exactly the same way about sports that I do. Theres no sense‚ no real interest in the game itself‚ nor any inclination toward athleticism (aside from Ridcullys own personal interest and physical prowess). The only time things make sense is when everyone is thinking about how exciting the game should be‚ how to generate narrative around it‚ how to make it a spectacle. I get that part. The rest is just window dressing.<;/p>;<;div aria-hidden=";true"; class=";wp-block-spacer";>;<;/div>;<;p class=";has-lg-font-size";>;Asides and little thoughts<;/p>;<;ul>;<;li>;Of Vetinari being the wrong sort for Juliet despite being the only available prince around‚ Glenda thinks: <;em>;Besides‚ no one was sure which side of the bed he got out of‚ or even if he went to bed at all.<;/em>; Meaning: Were honestly not sure if the man is gay‚ straight‚ or ace.<;/li>;<;li>;By his own admission‚ he would rather run ten miles‚ leap a five-bar gate and climb a big hill than engage in any athletic activity.
