For the last quarter century, retired schoolteacher Arden Eversmeyer journeyed from Houston across the country to record hundreds of oral &quot;herstories&quot; with a mostly invisible population that is rapidly disappearing. Old Lesbians honors Arden&#39;s legacy by animating the resilient, joyful voices she preserved in the Old Lesbian Oral Herstory Project, from first crush to first love, from the closet to coming out, and finally from loss to connection.

Bailey and Amanda want to have a baby. They’ve got the perfect list of sperm donors lined up and force ranked. There’s just one problem…  Their potential baby daddies won’t stop dying.   Falling tree branches, fatal spin classes, art installations gone wrong, skydiving accidents. Even their “celebrity stretch goal” meets a gruesome fate.  Are these two would-be moms just that unlucky?  Are they cursed? Or is there something even more sinister going on?

A wounded romantic hunts for the author of a mysterious, “perfect” playlist he believes was made by his soulmate. But only because a medically licensed witch told him so.  Synopsis: Ed didn’t just get dumped, per se—but he did encounter a “relationship upheaval.” And that break-up didn’t leave him with crippling depression, necessarily—he’s just not “emotionally thriving.” His hunt for a cure leads him to the office of The Ketamine Oracle: an alternative therapist-slash-modern-day-myth who just might be addicted to some substances herself.   Her drug-fueled visions reveal two things: that a) Ed fell for his ex-boyfriend Joseph when he heard the “perfect playlist” Joseph played on their first date, and b) that said ex-boyfriend did not, in fact, make said playlist. Instantly reinvigorated, Ed launches a search for the true author of the playlist, and the soul mate that awaits him.
