This week on Mondays With Matt: Wearing a crop-top. And I have a NEW BELLYBUTTON.

I know, it's Monday. BLECH. But, that also means it's time for #MondaysWithMatt.

Matt breaks down the major differences between unschooling and a traditional classroom setting.

I’m recovering from some pretty major surgery that has made it really uncomfortable to move around. In addition, because of the painkillers and antibiotics, obviously, I’m not allowed to drink or basically do anything I enjoy anymore.

Feeling unsafe and feeling uncomfortable aren't the same. Pushing yourself into uncomfortable places can help you grow.

There's nothing wrong with taking a break to recharge and re-center.

We really want people to like us. It’s just human nature. You may say you don’t care if people like you, and on the surface, that may be true. However, there’s a part of you that understands that openly not caring about being liked immediately makes you more likable — self-assurance is an attractive quality to have.

It isn't “political correctness” to ask you not to be an asshole. It isn't “censorship” to ask that you consider the basic human rights and feelings of others before spewing your toxic, hateful, inconsiderate bullshit for the world to see.

This Monday, Matt helps us celebrate Masturbation Month! (To say anything else would betray the beauty of this video.)

For a long time, passing privilege made me feel like I didn’t deserve to call myself latino.
