I’m really hoping that Dolly enjoys the triple D’s in the title, she was and will forever be an icon musically, philanthropically, and surgically. This episode is dedicated to the incredible women, incredible people, who, like Dolly, live their truth and uplift facts yet do not shy away from speaking passionately and genuine emotion.

Welcome to Schauer Thoughts, this episode we’re taking a long and winding journey through the land of loss and grief. I do appreciate everyone’s patience as this episode is going out Thursday - I sincerely hope you enjoy it.

I would also like to take the time to thank everyone who’s been so kind to me, we are strangers and the internet can be so cruel, but you guys haven’t been. I know sad comments get me down sometimes but I also see the kind messages and those have profoundly impacted me. I am grateful for y’alls kindness, support, and even just your time. I hope nothing but good things for each and every one of you - if you are grieving, please do not rush yourself, but know that there are options to “unstick,” even just for a moment. I am sending all the positive vibes I can muster and I can’t wait to chat next week.

Also, no pressure, but if you’d like to see me do stand up, this is the link for the show! I’m nervous but excited and can’t wait to get back into in-person comedy.

Welcome back to Schauer Thoughts, this week we’re continuing our discussion of the Disability Rights Movement - we’re covering the late 80’s, 90’s, and where we’re at today! There’s so much going on concerning Disability Rights but I hope what’s covered here, as well as all the resources discussed and linked below, fill your soul with some semblance of hope for the future. I do feel incredibly hopeful and I’m also incredibly determined and ready to keep applying pressure to this administration, directly or indirectly (we truly can do both.) 

That being said, please also visit this website to stay up to dat on all anti-trans bills currently being introduced across the country.

Thank you all so much for listening and joining me in this discussion, it’s incredibly important that we remain informed and engaged on all topics concerning civil rights as none of us are free until we are all free. 

Also, apologies for the late upload, I have had a lot going on. Thank you for your patience.

Welcome to Schauer hour, I hope you’re ready to hear my thoughts lol. This week (and next) we’ll be discussing major milestones and events that happened and continue to happen during the Disability Rights Movement. 

I do have to apologize in advance as *I am autistic* and *we do talk about autism* and *I am allowed to cry.* I realize emotions are just a natural part of being human but when I cry my voice gets quieter and becomes generally hard to hear, so next week I will enunciate better or take a moment to collect myself.

I can’t wait to share more next time as I didn’t even make it to the passing of the ADA! But we will get there. I hope you enjoy and can’t wait to chat next week.

Can you all tell that I’m fed up? Welcome back to the Schauer Thoughts, this week we’re going to be a real pain in the behind to some massive corporations and *of course* the government - they have TRULY deserved this. 

For too long the healthcare system has proposed a “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” approach to health and wellness, but I ask y’all this, if it doesn’t work for the economy, why would it work for your health?

Is that to say that we should all give up completely and stop taking care of ourselves? No. However, I am saying that we need to cut ourselves, everyone, neighbors, friends, etc. A LOT of slack. We are living in a polluted, corrupt hellscape and there’s only so much one can do to fight constant, all-consuming, non-consensual toxins. 

Eat what you want, be who you want, stick it to the man, have some semblance of fun.

Hi guys! Today’s episode is super duper long and I truly have stopped caring, there’s so much corruption in this world and it deserves to be covered. What corruption are we going over this week? Glad you asked! This is a continuation on our deep-dive into WHY women were actually banned from clinical research in 1977. It is absolutely crucial we understand who is behind this as *ahem* women matter and it’s also Disability Pride Month! Thank you all for taking the time to listen or at least check out the resources (scroll down for the databases) - if any sources are missing it’s because Youtube and podcast sites usually have a 5K letter limit. I’m using those letters explaining this - but if you need to find something, write down the key words I used and type them into ToxicDocs. By the way, NO, this is not sponsored by ToxicDocs as that’s not how research databases roll. I’m just a fan.

I appreciate you all! Thank you again for listening.

Here we go again! This week we’re discussing the new Monsanto pesticide verdict as well as taking a somewhat deep-dive into their history, as well as putting our *expletive* government under the microscope. I am just as sick of this as you are, the horrors seem to just seep out of the corporate and bureaucratic fabric of our lives. Thank you for joining me in this week’s communal Schauer, I understand if you need to be alone after this.

Let me reiterate my point for all who cover their ears to nuance: I am by no means saying that any of these chemicals are the SOLE cause of any chronic disorder, chronic disease, or medical condition. What I AM saying is that these chemicals, untested and unchecked, are sure as *bleep* not helping literally anyone’s health in any substantial way. 

Please feel free to run all of this by a licensed medical professional and relative experts for more information or clarification.

This was not mentioned in the video but since a lot (NOTE: that “a lot” does not mean “all”) of doctors are complicit in the abuses of the healthcare system, I would also like to suggest these resources.

Research all federal investigations against any hospital:

https://www.hospitalinspections.org/

Research financial relationships between drug & medical device companies and healthcare providers:

https://openpaymentsdata.cms.gov/

For all the medical professionals out there fighting the good fight, love that, thank you. I, personally, do not *in general* distrust *most* doctors as if I did I wouldn’t have read half these books or like my PCP as much - but you must understand, there are some really awful medical providers out there and in order to change a broken system we have to acknowledge that point. Appreciate y'all.

We’re back with another episode of Schauer Thoughts and this week we’re taking a brief trip through the Carter Administration to explore it’s ties to the agricultural industry and how that could’ve impacted women’s health research for years to come. For legal purposes, this is all a hunch, a guess, and of course, *alleged* and I strongly recommend checking out the resources when this wraps. I hope you find this episode illuminating.

To all those dealing with chronic conditions, diseases, disabilities - I want you to know that I do care about your pain, I do care about what you have to say and your experiences. I will keep reading and keep sharing because your words and life absolutely do matter. I take you all incredibly seriously and I am so sorry for the horrific treatment you have received by the healthcare system and society at large. I am sending you absolutely nothing but the best.

I will be continuing coverage of the MAHA strategy and report next week - the Trump administration’s attack on the disabled community is unacceptable and we must continue to talk about it.

Thank you all for listening, it means the world.
