Matt Joseph Diaz

Dear anti-feminist men, 

I’m writing to you because I want to have a discussion.

Those who would find themselves genuinely excited about simple, fun things are often written off as losers with nothing better to do, while the jaded pat themselves on the back for how mature and intelligent they so obviously are. However, the longer you look at it, the more you begin to notice that it’s quite the opposite.

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.

My roommates [...] weren't aware that I live with bipolar disorder until a few weeks after I first moved in. In the month or so since, I’ve learned a lot about the way we approach our interpersonal relationships when living with mental illness, especially with those who are closest to us — both emotionally and literally.

This week, Matt shares what he wishes he learned in high school.

"The universe is a big, dark, cold empty space — but you're not any of that. You're a light."

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.

I promise you, people living with depression are acutely aware that things probably aren’t as bad as they could be.

This is literally the cutest, happiest thing you will see all day.
