In the span of four months in 2012, Tig Notaro was hospitalized for a debilitating intestinal disease called C. diff, her mother unexpectedly died, she went through a breakup, and then she was diagnosed with bilateral breast cancer. Hit with this devastating barrage, Tig took her grief onstage. Days after receiving her cancer diagnosis, she broke new comedic ground, opening an unvarnished set with the words, "Good evening. Hello. I have cancer. How are you? Hi, how are you? Is everybody having a good time? I have cancer."

Sometimes we feel a bit like "I'm a feminist, but...." As in, "I'm a feminist, but I skipped the Women's March to buy face cream." As in, "I'm a feminist, but I've never found time to read Sylvia Plath (but I have watched 15 seasons of Keeping Up with the Kardashians)." In The Guilty Feminist, Deborah Frances-White reassures us that we don't have to be perfect to be a force for meaningful change. Exploring big issues of identity, equality, intersectionality, and the current feminist agenda, she explodes the myth of the model activist and offers a realistic path....

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 11,133
Call Me by Your Name first swept across the world in 2007. It is the story of a sudden and powerful romance that blossoms between an adolescent boy and a summer guest at his parents' cliffside mansion on the Italian Riviera. During the restless summer weeks, unrelenting but buried currents of obsession, fascination, and desire intensify their passion as they test the charged ground between them and verge toward the one thing both already fear they may never truly find again: total intimacy.

Save Yourself is full of funny and insightful recollections about everything from coming out (at a Catholic college where sexual orientation wasn't in the nondiscrimination policy) to how joining the circus can help you become a better comic (so much nudity) to accepting yourself for who you are-even if you're, say, a bowl cut-sporting, bespectacled, gender-nonconforming child with an eye patch (which Cameron was).

When Abbi Jacobson announced to friends and acquaintances that she planned to drive across the country alone, she was met with lots of questions and opinions: Why wasn't she going with friends? Wouldn't it be incredibly lonely? The North route is better! Was it safe for a woman? The Southern route is the way to go! You should bring mace! And a common one... why? But Abbi had always found comfort in solitude and needed space to step back and hit the reset button. As she spent time in each city on her way to Los Angeles, she mulled over the big questions: What do I really want?

Publisher's Summary
Why do we find sexuality so, well...scary?
Comedian Mae Martin investigates in this hilarious and intelligent guide to 21st-century sexuality. Covering everything from the pros and cons of labels to coming out and the joys of sexual fluidity, Mae ponders all the stuff we get hung up about - and then a bit more.
Mae's mission is to ensure that in a world that's full of things to worry about, who we choose to kiss should not be one of them. And when it comes to sexuality, she asks: can everyone please calm down?

Love it!!
Absolutely wonderfully beautiful, funny and so, so interesting. Mae Martin is already my favorite comedian, and their view on sexuality, genders and acceptance is, in my opinion, the best I've ever heard, and I completely agree with them. The performance is perfect, and I recomend this book for EVERYONE!

What a breath of fresh air!
Mae Martins book is absolutely amazing , exploring questions that sometimes you may ask yourself in sexuality and how Mae over came them for herself. Mae is definitely empowering and I really recommend this book!
Enjoy and enjoy the comical elements too!

Brief but good
This would be a nice easy into into modern sexuality and gender for someone fairly new to the subject whether for their own interest ora's an ally. Mae's delivery is great, very entertaining.

A fantastic gender and sexuality intro
This is the gender and sexuality book every teenager should get.
Mae Martin's voice is kind, funny and sensible. She covers a lot of important information inclusively and accurately (as far as my geeky knowledge of the subject goes). She also quotes Meg-John Barker extensively which is always a good thing.
I can only imagine the positive and healing effect it will have on young people grappling with the messy gender and sexuality jungle we all live in and looking for their own identity.
Its mere existence fills me with hope.

An essential 21st Century Book
This book is firstly so easy to read, it flows so easily that I could happily - and probably will - read this every week.I believe at the heart of a lot of prejudice is simply a lack of understanding. The sooner those who continue to make hurtful comments, realise that there isn't a nasty agenda behind LGBT+ rights, society will be a lot nicer. We need this book to become part of the curriculum, and now!
