    Speculating About: “Trauma Making Us Funny”
    Mar 26 2025
    Yes, trauma can be funny and “make” us funny to some degree! Sure! But here on Schauer Thoughts, a podcast for left and right brainers, we simply must explore the psychological crevices. Hopefully we can all laugh about this later and enjoy the endorphin rush.

    Contemplating: Capitalism and “Disgust”
    Mar 12 2025
    Got a little side tracked (but not really) on our discussion of the demonization of play and the exaltation of labor, but most morality is rooted in disgust so good, evil, disgusting, compelling, you get it.

  • Contemplating: The Demonization of Pleasure & Play

    Contemplating: The Demonization of Pleasure & Play
    Mar 5 2025
    Well it’s looking like another two parter! This week on Schauer Thoughts: the demonization, moralization, and general uncertainty around play and pleasure. So let’s slip into our skin suits and crank up the heat, we’ve got a lot of internalized beliefs about work to scrub raw from our left and right hemispheres, might have to even get in the crack. Sources: Rest is Resistance - Tricia Hersey Decolonizing Therapy - Jennifer Mullan PsyD Mathematics for Human Flourishing - Francis Su I believe the eyeliner joke is from Cat Cohen (cat_cohen on TT) - if I’m wrong please let me know. If there are any sources I’ve left out, please feel free to let me know in the Youtube comments, I’ll get to you ASAP.

  • Mulling Over: Decentering Men

    Mulling Over: Decentering Men
    Feb 19 2025
    This week on Schauer Thoughts we’re decentering men! Before you rev up those keyboards: decentering men is not abstaining from men, anyone can decenter men (including men). You will not be “exiting” the patriarchy, decentering men is not the same thing as misandry, and [continued list of misconceptions]. So join us in the communal Schauer and open those pores (and perspectives) to a reimagined, gender nonspecific way of moving and grooving.
