What a beautiful continuation of the Emotion Picture Dirty Computer. I highly recommend watching it before reading this but it’s also not necessary. It helped provide me with more of a visual of the world while reading each story. 

I absolutely loved this collection. So much compassion, encouragement, gentle understanding. Most stories felt like a warm blanket. I liked the order of the stories too because the last one felt like the perfect conclusion. I could read stories like these forever. Such an excellent job with each one. Especially loved the sci-fi world and great queer representation in ever story. Highly recommend this collection.
