What movie is this photo with all these plants & cigs?
Jamie, in “The Haunting of Bly Manor” (it’s excellent though, to me, supernaturally frustrating).
Do I get know-it-all points for knowing it’s from Haunting of Bly Manor on Netflix (even those fh I haven’t watched the show)?
You are A Lesbian Who Knows Everything About Queer History!
It’s a good thing we have you around — otherwise, how would we know that this big sociopolitical thing happening in the present day is actually greatly informed by the past which also holds the keys for how to confront the current moment?
But I’m also a cat & sports dyke! I contain multitudes.
Same.
Not unexpected . . . though I felt very seen by “Relaying scores to sporting events you’re the only one watching”! [Also the DIY stuff]
Hardest quiz ever because I am a cat dyke AND a book dyke..! But actually the only area in which I have arcane knowledge is probably the kitchen, where my cooking and baking dykes at!!!
Right?! I’m a book queer and a plant queer. And a nature lover. I needed ranked choice for this quiz!
“Your writing style is engaging and clear, love it!”
I got plants! Me and my 40+ houseplants are not surprised by this result. ;)
I’m also into books and nature – it was hard to choose just one answer this time.
Happy to get literature know it all
I think being into books + cats + sports + helpfulness has thrown it and i am apparently really into CAULKING, the one i actually don’t know how to do! But Im about to move into a house and I’ll need to, so I’ll treat this as a goal!
omg you for sure split the vote with your other interests 🤣
Same thing happened to me, a notorious cat-plant-diy-queer history-dyke!
And caulking has always been a shameful weak spot, so yes, I’ll embrace the challenge like Katie 🤞🙈
I had a similar thing! I got TV lesbian which is like… one of the only categories I never selected. Movies, books, sports, home improvement, bring it on; but honestly I haven’t watched a TV show in twenty years and have no idea about anything.
climate crisis lesbian – absolutely correct but i think we’re missing a music dyke option
