Matt Joseph Diaz

Being unable to post photos of funny signs outside of bars or live-tweet bad reality TV had more of an effect than I'd anticipated.

Happy Monday, Ravishers!

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

This Monday, Matt talks about female comic characters. Batman? How about BatNOTSOMUCHMAN.

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

“She just grabbed the bacon off my plate! She didn’t ask, she didn’t even say anything, she just assumed it was OK and took it!”
“It’s just bacon —”
“It’s NOT about the Bacon, Donald. It’s about the principle.”

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

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

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.

In the spring of 2013, I met a woman on OKCupid. She was petite, with a kind smile and a voice so soft that it could melt all your troubles away. Her shock of red curls went down to her shoulders — and because of this, and the fact that we no longer speak, let's call her Ann.

Ann was a few years older than I, wise and mature. She also, it turned out, spent her professional life beating up strangers for their sexual satisfaction.
