Matt Joseph Diaz

First of all, befriending someone and becoming their confidant while secretly yearning to get in their pants isn’t just fucking creepy, it’s manipulative. The girls I “befriended” opened up to and trusted me because I was patient, sensitive, and seemed to have their best interests in mind.

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

How embarrassing is this story, and is the value in it (be it entertainment, educational, or both) enough that the benefit in sharing it outweighs how mortifying it is?

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

We met Matt a year ago when he showed us his post weight-loss body.

It’s pretty easy to see why people would want to rebel against [our current standard of beauty] — it’s unattainable, and even for those who manage to reach something close to it, it’s often unsustainable. However, in rebelling against the oppressive system, we run into situations where people denigrate others who happen to more closely fit the description of what we recognize as the ideal.

Success is an uphill climb, but it’s rarely a directly uphill climb. There are cliffsides and plateaus, there are points where you have to adapt and change in order to make things work. These are not steps backwards, nor are they indicative of your failure—they’re simply a byproduct of life. More often than not, this ability to work with the circumstances in order to get by will take you farther than certain “skills” ever could.

This week, Matt talks about fear. What happens when the worst thing you can imagine happening, actually happens?

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

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