You know that hypothetical lesbian commune you and your friends are always talking about starting? Well, today’s the day! Take this quiz and pretend you live on the queer commune of your own making, and when you get to the end, I’ll assign you your role to play in this very gay, anticapitalist, antipatriarchal, absolutely drama-filled intentional community!

i have always wanted to be best friends with a donkey
I think this quiz might be broken, my housemates and I are devotees of the autostraddle quizzes and all got answers that had nothing to do with what we put in. Rip!
I had the same experience. I took it 3 times and each time got a job that had nothing to do with my slections.
I got Writing/Editing the Commune Newsletter twice and something about sleeping around to avoid doing work on my last attempt. Even though I kept choosing crafty answers and none of the flirting or writing answers.
this was the hardest quiz because i wanted to choose every answer. just like in real life though, my result is “farm worker”. and unlike Shrek, my best friend is actually a HORSE, not a donkey tyvm. in the small town my commune is situated, i’m known as the hijabi farm worker who rides her horse bareback into town instead of driving a car. “she can drive, yeah, and honestly she drives like the road is a racetrack, so it’s best for all ‘a us slow goin’ folks that she rides that horse of hers everywhere as it is.” a local observes to their neighbor, comfortably lazing on their front porch. They tip their oversized hats & nod in unison in my direction as i ride by.
you sound like you’re living a dream life!
I got Writing/Editing the Commune Newsletter and just no. Let me run the community repair cafe and teach everyone how to darn their socks.
Astrologer though I dismiss astrology as BS. I will gladly trade for a more appropriate role. Commune journalist seems fitting.
You are Carpentry.
Challenge accepted !
ok so yes, for some reason the answer to the first question was determining the result, despite the quiz being impeccably and perfectly programmed! and trying to eliminate the first question and re-create it later just crashed the whole quiz? so it’s some kind of bug on the backend, and i don’t have access to weekend tech support so we are recreating the quiz, standby for liftoff
okay fixed
Not sure it is fixed, i also got something that didn’t really make sense, though usually your quizzes are spot on.
Weird, i never thought a quiz could be broken and everyone notices it. Are they real??
Thanks for sharing this information.
Astrologer. The description feels like too much responsibility. Lol.
Astrologer, I hate astrology, its up there with antivaccine nonsense.
I’d be the gardener and the vegan cook.
OK, now that the quiz is fixed, I got Running Childcare
“Someone has to teach the children how to darn their own socks and opt out of patriarchy!”
That is a little more like it.
Funny enuf, I lived in a dyke commune for 25years and I was defo a farm worker
“Running the Jam Business That Keeps the Commune Funded”
Me, the anti-Capitalist! Clearly, scanning the responses above, there are some bugs in this widget…
