We’re back today with more pieces from our Sandwich Generation package. Today, Meg St-Esprit is talking about a tough but important subject: paperwork. “Tucked in the back of our Box of Important Things™ is a folder I don’t open. I know what’s in it, because my mom has told me a thousand times. It is a handy, organized guide to her death,” she writes. Actually, she’s very grateful to have that folder, and she’s explaining what a gift it is.

“When my trans child, Henry, was a young teen, they were not out. So, when I chose movies to watch, I considered general appropriateness but wasn't looking for gay love stories,” writes Jessica G. Hartshorn today, adding: “We are in 2024, and it’s still super tough to find entertainment — especially movies — with a positive, queer story at the forefront.” But she recently gathered Henry and two other queer 21-year-olds to get some recommendations for what is available. And it’s a great list.
