Yeah, I finally found a platform that posts simultaneously to Twitter, BlueSky, and threads. Should I be re-elected, prepare to be bombarded with my real-time votes come January

Good evening from the #Joco Farm Bureau #ksleg dinner! A beautiful summer night, perfect for homemade ice cream and cucumber salad, just like my grandparents used to make!

The Trash Sunflowers are out in full force this time of year. You’ll even see them in #joco, growing through the concrete on the side of 435. Kansas summers are the best.

So honored and proud to have support from Moms Demand for the 2026 General Election! #ksleg

Proud to announce that I continue to have the endorsement of the KNEA in the 2026 General election. Happy first week of school to our amazing teachers! #ksleg #ksed

Feeling down about the way that your government functions? In need of some bipartisan Peace on Earth? Join me tomorrow (Tuesday, December 16th) at Chicken and Pickle where I’ll be a guest panelist for the December meeting of The Tuesday Project. We’ll be in their festive private indoor room. #ksleg

I’m a wholesome kind of gal I guess

@ssc4ks @ssc4ks.bsky.social · 18/09/2025

Today in Tax committee, I met someone who used to follow me on Twitter, but isn’t on it anymore. She was super-nice, and was wearing a cute houndstooth jacket, and I was so flustered by her kind words that I forgot to ask her name. So, if you’re on here, thank you for making my day! 💙💙💙 #ksleg

Just a test post to see if anyone will interact. #ksleg

We often encourage people to Make Something Of Themselves. But, when we have an irrational amount of fees added for arbitrary reasons for allegedly public institutions, it sets up a system in which it bars many from even applying. I hope someone can make it make sense. #ksleg

@ssc4ks @ssc4ks.bsky.social · 14/08/2025

I also need to know why students need to pay for transcripts for these now irrelevant classes. For unexpired courses, I get it. But, if the course is no longer relevant, why is there a transcript fee? #ksleg.

@ssc4ks @ssc4ks.bsky.social · 14/08/2025

Higher Ed people: can you tell me why: College credits expire? If a course was completed and the work was done and the grade earned, and the money spent, then why? #ksleg

@ssc4ks @ssc4ks.bsky.social · 16/07/2025

Later this week, I’ll be a panelist at both of these events. #ksleg

@ssc4ks @ssc4ks.bsky.social · 16/07/2025

I’m on my way to ALEC, not because I agree with what comes out of there, but because only a fool would skip an opportunity to learn what legislation is coming in 2026.

@ssc4ks @ssc4ks.bsky.social · 16/07/2025

Lady next to me on the plane just crossed herself and got out the rosary beads so that’s how it’s going.

@ssc4ks @ssc4ks.bsky.social · 15/07/2025

I’m going to this tonight. You should, too. #ksleg

@ssc4ks @ssc4ks.bsky.social · 19/06/2025

Finally, I’ll add this: one of the leading causes of death for pregnant women is being murdered, often by their romantic partner.

111

@ssc4ks @ssc4ks.bsky.social · 19/06/2025

I would argue that maybe if we treated women like people, instead of sources of unpaid labor, then our entire society would thrive.

000

@ssc4ks @ssc4ks.bsky.social · 19/06/2025

It costs nothing to show compassion and decency to a pregnant woman.

110

@ssc4ks @ssc4ks.bsky.social · 19/06/2025

We hear about how much treatment for ppd and related conditions costs. And, I’ve got a fiscally conservative solution for all of you:

100

@ssc4ks @ssc4ks.bsky.social · 19/06/2025

If a pregnant or postpartum woman admits that she’s struggling, usually the first thing that people do is shame her for being anything other than happy.

110

@ssc4ks @ssc4ks.bsky.social · 19/06/2025

I don’t know, maybe so many women have postpartum issues because we are socialized to treat wives and mothers like slaves.

100

@ssc4ks @ssc4ks.bsky.social · 19/06/2025

And I strongly support all screening and funding and support for postpartum depression, psychosis, etc. BUT

110

@ssc4ks @ssc4ks.bsky.social · 19/06/2025

Most of the sessions are health care and mental health related. We are just now finishing up a session on screening for postpartum depression treatment.

@ssc4ks @ssc4ks.bsky.social · 19/06/2025

I’m at the Women in Government national conference in St Louis. I’m going to post some things about it on here, but I don’t expect anyone to see or interact, because BlueSky is basically screaming into the void. 🤷‍♀️

@ssc4ks @ssc4ks.bsky.social · 16/06/2025

I’m looking forward to participating in this event with other electives and advocates! I hope to see you there! #ksleg

Olive hasn’t left my side since I came home last night. This morning she’s helping me write bill briefs and my #ksleg newsletter. Dogs always know.

060

@ssc4ks @ssc4ks.bsky.social · 21/01/2025

As well as a bill intro from Kobach’s office re: immigration, establishing E-verify. #ksleg

010

@ssc4ks @ssc4ks.bsky.social · 21/01/2025

Also bill into from Kobach’s office putting E-verify in place. Given yesterday’s events, this does not surprise me, but I oppose this policy. #ksleg

010

@ssc4ks @ssc4ks.bsky.social · 21/01/2025

Good morning, #ksleg. Several bill intros in Fed and State, including Convention of States, National Heritage Areas…

230

@ssc4ks @ssc4ks.bsky.social · 21/01/2025

I’m fine. It’s my job to look after you guys and make sure that you’re doing all right

010

@ssc4ks @ssc4ks.bsky.social · 21/01/2025

So…how is everyone doing? I know I’m just #ksleg, but I thought I’d check up on folks. It’s been a Day.

@ssc4ks @ssc4ks.bsky.social · 19/01/2025

And, yes, I know that the bill only concerned State devices, and not the actual banning of the app for private use. But, boy, when you read the quotes in the article, it certainly sounds like talking points we hear today. #ksleg

@ssc4ks @ssc4ks.bsky.social · 19/01/2025

Proud to be one of the few who voted no. www.kslegislature.gov/li_2024/b202... #ksleg

Also, is there an app similar to tweetdeck that allows posting on Twitter and BlueSky simultaneously? Let me know; it will help with my #ksleg updates quite a bit.

120

@ssc4ks @ssc4ks.bsky.social · 14/01/2025

Good morning, #ksleg. In house fed and state for our first meeting. Just introductions and KOMA/KORA overview.

150

@ssc4ks @ssc4ks.bsky.social · 11/01/2025

I’ll continue to update my votes here and on Twitter in real-time. My votes tend to make folks on both sides of the aisle both pleased and annoyed, but I really don’t give a hoot. I follow my own moral code, and serve only my constituents. I’m looking forward to serving you. #ksleg

@ssc4ks @ssc4ks.bsky.social · 11/01/2025

Anyway, astrology aside (although I think we sometimes trash it because it’s something that teenage girls like, and I don’t stand for misogyny), I am honored to be coming back to the #ksleg for my 13th session, that starts on the 13th during a full moon.

110

@ssc4ks @ssc4ks.bsky.social · 11/01/2025

As some may recall, that was the longest (until 2017) sessions. It was a hot mess. Things finally came together and we adjourned on June 12. Mercury went direct the evening of June 11th. So, that’s when I became a believer. #ksleg

100

@ssc4ks @ssc4ks.bsky.social · 11/01/2025

There’s also a Mercury retrograde somewhere in there, too, right around First Adjournment. I never really bought much into it, but the 2015 #ksleg session changed my mind.

110

@ssc4ks @ssc4ks.bsky.social · 11/01/2025

So, full moons during #ksleg session are Jan 13th (Day one), Feb 12th, (week before turnaround), March 14th, and April 12 (last day of veto session). It might not matter, but maybe it does #moon 🌕🌕🌕

@ssc4ks @ssc4ks.bsky.social · 04/01/2025

Okay I just remembered when Senator Melcher said that cutting the food sales tax would make people fat. #ksleg memories.

@ssc4ks @ssc4ks.bsky.social · 28/12/2024

Slept in, and just woke up from a nightmare about school vouchers. It was awful. Time to get back into work mode. #ksleg

@ssc4ks @ssc4ks.bsky.social · 07/12/2024

Good afternoon from the #ksleg Senate 8 forum. Here is a plant cutting that @linda4kansas.bsky.social brought me. What should I name it?

@ssc4ks @ssc4ks.bsky.social · 05/12/2024

I’ll be there! Happy to answer any questions that folks might have! #ksleg

@ssc4ks @ssc4ks.bsky.social · 05/12/2024

Guys, go outside and look at the moon right now #moon
