On The Prowl I Know Im Super Late To The Black Panther Party, But I Actually Got This Idea Walking Out

“On the Prowl” I know I’m super late to the Black Panther party, but I actually got this idea walking out of the theater on opening night and just didn’t have any time until recently. I thought the character was so cool, I loved his connection to nature, and I think it’s just awesome that so many kids have a new superhero to read about and look up to.

Probably one of the greatest videos I have ever seen.

Wait for it-

Man though you know what makes me sorta sad is when nerdy, “quiet” kids latch on to me during camp and they just talk and talk and talk about a thing they’re into (Skyrim, Pokemon, Harry Potter, Doctor Who, dinosaurs, whatever). And I see the kids just light up when they say something and I can chime in with an ‘oh hey, are you talking about [x]? I love that thing! Tell me more about it.’

Like, their parents will warn me ‘so-and-so is pretty quiet and hard to engage’ but no, man, just listen, your kid is so smart and so into This Thing, they’ll engage like fuck and talk your damn ear off it you let them. Frame it in their damn terms. Or! Just! Listen to them about their Thing! And they will engage with the rest of the material! Because they know you care about them! Amazing!!!
