I’m a wholesome kind of gal I guess

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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
