If You Don't Laugh You'll Cry: The Occupational Humor of White Wisconsin Prison Workers (Folklore Studies in a Multicultural World)

Product Information

With no holds barred – just as you’d expect – Angie talks about her challenges with mental health and body image; her family and friends; what has and hasn’t worked in her relationships, and what she has learned – the hard way – about life. There are plenty of laughs, and some tears, and always plenty of heart.’ As an individual, I can only really take care of my responsibilities; to myself, to my wife and daughters, family and friends, neighbors and community. And while I empathize deeply for the families hurt by gun violence, I confess I have only a vague idea of what a solution might look like. Unfortunately, I am suspicious of anyone peddling simplified solutions and fixes. The problem is not simple. But less vague is a feeling that someone, somewhere, is not doing their job. Years of being bullied for being slightly overweight in school, having the finger pointed at you every time you did or said something differently, and having special interests that didn’t fit the social norm left me on the other side of laughter. My mother had the habit of using recycling aphorisms in her daily conversations. “ Let’s send that up the flagpole and see who salutes,”“ if it was a snake it would have bitten you,” and “ that bed won’t make itself” were the few I heard most often growing up. But she used them to also dispense life lessons like routinely telling me to find work “ I didn’t mind getting out of bed for in the morning” and to make sure “ my income exceeded my outgo.” The cast is crazy good in this movie. So many big names and they are all great. The performance I enjoyed the most was from a preteen Joaquin Phoenix, credited as Leaf Phoenix. He plays Garry, a kid who is emotionally distant from his mother and enraged at his father for leaving him and not caring about him. Phoenix shows the power that he would go on to display for years at such a young age in a scene where he decides he wants to live with his father for awhile. When he makes the call and is disappointed by the answer, Phoenix gives an emotional and powerful side to a character that for the first part of the movie just said Bye and left the room.

At the moment they have May Laugh Fest on, so for the whole month of May there’s an exciting line-up of comedy shows like ‘Improv Magic,’ ‘A Bard’s Tale’ and ‘Instant Broadway.’ The best thing about Improv is how every show is different & delightfully surprising. There's so much great stuff going on in Ron Howard's Parenthood. The movie is a hilarious take on the serious issues that come from the responsibility. It is kind of like the saying, "If you don't laugh, you'll cry." That's how it is with these characters and sometimes they do laugh. Other times they can't and they cry. As a feminist activist and English student, I couldn’t help but instinctively laugh my head off when this comment appeared on an article I wrote for a local newspaper about Public Sexual Harassment (PSH) in Cambridge.

America is fascinated by prisons and prison culture, but few Americans understand what it is like to work in corrections. Claire Schmidt, whose extended family includes three generations of Wisconsin prison workers, introduces readers to penitentiary officers and staff as they share stories, debate the role of corrections in American racial politics and social justice, and talk about the important function of humor in their jobs. A step forward for occupational folklife studies. . . . This work is a useful source for those wanting to expand their understandings of occupational culture, for scholars who want to understand the tensions between those who guard and those who are guarded, and for people seeking to incorporate more personal and localized context into their criminology and sociology research.”Angie's book deserves to be handed out to teenage girls during health class as she gives practical lessons on love, life, mental health, body issues, dogs and more. This book could be really helpful for young women. In Gino’s experience, every single company that has consistently gotten what they want from their business as well as enduring & overcoming huge challenges like a pandemic or a recession, has had this one thing in common. I started this week off with a full day ‘cram’ of university work.... Seems that even at the ripe age of 51, I have not learned my lesson about leaving it to the last minute.
