How To Create a Self-Curriculum! Pt. 2

Schauer Thoughts

Show Notes

Strap in guys, we’re taking a deep dive into the realm of want, desire, and interoception. This week on Schauer Thoughts the mind is taking a back seat to the bodies inner-workings and process - we’ll be giving a voice to the beautiful being that gives us a voice. I hope you enjoy listening to me or at least yourself.

Welcome back to Schauer Thoughts, this week we’re covering vast expanses of the topical board, and yes, I checked my medication and realized I did not take my Vyvanse. Thanks to that ADHD misstep we will be going over: a *potential* case of securities fraud, the ins and outs of heart failure, erectile tissue in the nose, what’s happening with Russia and what it means for American elections, as well as a new documentary coming out on *slams head against wall* Elon Musk.

Welcome back to Schauer Thoughts, this week we’re covering my 32nd birthday, what Donald Trump said about Los Angeles and San Diego, as well as going over some climate-related menstrual nuance. Is that a wide range of discussion points? Yes, but that is the essence of Schauer Thoughts, so get ready to go on a topical saga! Thank you all for accepting that I am a human being on SSRIs in a heat wave so tears (light Schauers) are normal. I appreciate you all and can’t wait for you to listen to this week’s episode.

Welcome back to Schauer Thoughts, this week we will be discussing the “Cornell 7” and the horrific gang rape of Jane Doe. I am so mad and you should be too, rape is a systemic issue and we all need to stand up and demand answers, demand accountability, and demand a world where justice can swiftly and with the full force of the law be served.

Hello guys! This episode of Schauer Thoughts truly is just a mental free for all, we will be discussing predominantly ME/CFS and registering to vote for the Midterm elections though. I do apologize for not getting to Boomers committing mass tax fraud and identity theft - that will be covered in a later episode. Hopefully there was some semblance of coherence here and I would like everyone to know with chronic conditions and chronic pain conditions that I will continue to raise awareness and just care in general because it is unacceptable that you all have been forced to go this alone. We all can do better.

Gather round, Schauer crew, this week on the podcast we’re discussing a potentially beneficial legal flub from the Trump Administration and what it could mean for major polluters and your community.
