Watching & listening to
On Friday night, I knew I wanted to watch something, and I had a very specific thing in mind: I wanted something with really soothing, beautiful animation; with a Nosedive-esque palette; with a nice, gentle story; and preferably gay. After a lot of Googling, I settled on Steven Universe the Movie, which could not have been more perfect. I had never seen the show before, which was completely fine. (Reading this post was helpful, but I think you’d be fine without it.) The music is great, the visuals are gorgeous, and the vibe is really sweet and wholesome. Highly recommend.
Also, the new Reply All episode “The Case of the Missing Hit” is so, so good!
Have a great Sunday! ☀️
