Those people should probably not read this book in public.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eYou Cant Joke About That, \u003c\/em\u003eKat Timpf shows why much of the way we talk about sensitive subjects is wrong. We've created all the wrong rules.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e We push ourselves into unnecessary conflicts when we should feel like were all in this together. When someone says you cant joke about that, what they really mean is this is a subject that makes people sad or angry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHilariously and movingly, Timpf argues that those subjects are actually the most important to joke about. She shows us we can find healing through humor regarding things you probably don't want to bring up in polite conversation, like traumatic break-ups, cancer, being broke, Dave Chappelle, rape jokes, aging, ostomy bags, religion, body image, dead moms, religion, the lab leak theory, transgender swimmers, gushing wounds, campus censorship, and bad Christmas presents.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis book is Kat Timpf with her hair down, except since hers is mostly extensions, this book is Kat Timpf with her hair out.
