I hate this website
Month: October 2015
I was once talking to a colleague about how great it is that Obama wants to make two years of community college free for American citizens, thereby reducing the amount of debt students come out of school with, and providing more educational opportunities to the wider populace and to those who couldn’t afford any higher schooling in the current system.
She responded to me: “I don’t support it, that means our taxes will go up.”
I asked her: “Why wouldn’t you be okay with your taxes being higher if it meant that literally millions of people could pursue an education, including your own children? There are virtually no drawbacks.”
She replied by saying: “I had to work to go to school, why should they get to go for free?”
And that is a huge fundamental problem with this country:
Whether it’s better healthcare, climate change, or education,
we are so consumed with the state of ourselves, we’d abandon our own children.

Well, that sort of depends…
Hobbes is extremely sensitive and thinks that everyone is picking on him all of the time. He can be very sweet, but any time he gets too much affection he starts biting anything his mouth can reach. Like, pet him and he’ll be purring and suddenly he starts biting the blanket like he doesn’t know how to deal with his feelings. He’s also the one that will smack the other cats out of misdirected anger, and hiss and screech even if the other cat just walked by.
Benji is very, very shy of new people, but generally very affectionate and calm. He loves to drape in my lap and not move for hours. He hates change, and prefers when Aaron and I are in the same room and on the same schedule. The vacuum cleaner will cause him to hide for hours at a time. He’s also the whiniest, and will loudly remind us when it’s time for such-and-such routine. Even if his food bowl is full, he will cry and cry and cry until we come check it, and then he’ll go back to eating. He’s also scared of spiders and will cry until we move them away from his food bowl.
Tango, on the other hand, is the friendliest cat that ever happened. He greets every new person at the door, purrs 24/7, chirps and mews and vibrates his tail. He’s stupidly smart and affectionate, loves to cuddle and headbump and beg for food. If it involves cheese, popcorn, cheetos, or french fries, he WILL try to take the food from you, right out of your hand or mouth. This usually involves a lot of screaming when you tell him no. He’s also really good at stealing money and hair ties, getting all squinty-eyed and reaching up to sneak a paw over the shiny of his choice and sliiiiiide it off of the table and into his clutched paw. He keeps his treasures in various hoardes, but usually under the bed.
Tango loves to tease Hobbes. He’ll sometimes wait until Hobbes is walking by to reach out and poke him, which makes Hobbes jump and screech and hiss like he’s dying. Then Benji lumbers out to chase Tango away like a good brother should, and Hobbes pouts somewhere up high.
So that is the story of the cats.
These are my cats, for those who were curious.
I also ordered a box of 12 purple highlighters. $5 with prime shipping yay!
