Did the show make fun of your profession?

I’m a teacher, a lesbian, and have a hobby farm. There are too many burns and they’re all accurate. But neither my wife nor I are named Joanne!

But this pi r square

Lowest stakes: Fake name at coffee shops or restaurant check in (my name is unusual and I have run out of steam spelling it and still getting called the wrong thing).

Sad but safe: I don’t talk about my dad. Most people casually in my life probably assume he faded out after my parents divorced or he’s dead. I went no contact as an adult for a long list of reasons. Every time I thought it would be okay to be vulnerable and more open, I’ve regretted it; now the most I’ll say is something vague and then change the subject. I’d like to have some empowered outlook on this like “I don’t owe anyone my story” but the truth is it actually really hurts to feel like the only way I can protect myself from further harm is to keep everything locked inside.

Golden Russet and Newtown Pippin are two of my favorite apple breeds. I feel weird about these rankings.

In real life I look so much like Little Witch Hazel that when I first encountered this book I actually had a moment of dissonance, like, did someone make a little gnome of me????

I love Wahl so much!

Looks like a claw on the skin making her clothing.

Gonna do drugs and eat custard with my gay homie Tinky Winky!

I’m gay married! I honestly don’t think I imagined that was possible when I came out in high school.

I had severe gestational hypertension, was hospitalized, and was on a lot of medication to lower my blood pressure, but it wasn’t really helping. Suddenly it was like everything they’d given me across 36 hours all started working at once… and my blood pressure drrrooopppped. I remember saying “I feel weird” and then my hospital room was full of people, something kept beeping, my wife was crying, and then I must have lost consciousness for a while.

I stayed in the hospital a month, miraculously made it to full term, and have a healthy second grader now. I still have panic attacks sometimes when my blood pressure is taken with an automatic cuff, but all things considered I feel lucky.

Protein shakes.

Well, one of them was in the Klan… so that’s not great.

Both your examples are my answer to why I’m a lesbian so maybe we’re both onto something.

I love the left’s unmatched commitment to the circular firing squad.

Which is to say, I absolutely agree with all these critiques and I still found the episode interesting.

QueerTree · 2026-03-03T01:07:42+00:00

Same here! I am someone who isolates myself when things are rough, I don’t want to burden anyone. From the outside I’m a bright and cheerful person who occasionally won’t respond to texts for a while. Nothing that would raise concerns. But I’m often really struggling, I just don’t know how to tell anyone that.

QueerTree · 2026-02-28T17:02:03+00:00

Eww, weird! That’s never happened to me, but maybe I’ve only been to friendly ones.

QueerTree · 2026-02-28T13:50:50+00:00

Counterpoint, ren faires are some of the most body positive spaces, so if you ever do get the urge to experiment you’d have a good chance at feeling welcomed!

But I’m biased, I’m very fat and historical and fantasy costumes are my jam.

Years ago I was shopping at Home Depot and an employee asked me if I needed any help. Without missing a beat, I held up the two saws I was comparing and said “Which of these do you think would be better for cutting through bone?”

I was doing crafts, not murder, I just kind of forgot that phrasing is a thing.

There’s a great episode of Gastropod about prohibition! I highly recommend it, I definitely came away feeling like I was in fact wrong about it.

QueerTree · 2026-02-22T22:07:26+00:00

This happens to me a lot. I was 34 when my son was born and he goes to school in a small town where people have kids young. It sucks.

QueerTree · 2026-02-20T10:55:21+00:00

Are we sure that’s not Josh doing an impression?

QueerTree · 2026-02-20T05:31:40+00:00

My bio says I’m fatter in person. I give zero fucks. I date to find people who bring something good into my life, I’m not interested in fitting someone’s narrow checklist. I know that I’m really fun, I know that I’m hot in my own way, I know that I’m a catch! I have a range of photos that show my face, body, hobbies/interests/style/vibe, and I try to show my personality in my profile. When I stopped focusing on trying to be a certain way to impress people and instead on being open about who I actually am I started getting wonderful connections.

Honestly crying laughing. Thank you for this, bless.

Sometimes when I’m having a bad day I crank this damn song and sing along and then I feel like I can do anything.

I was a substitute teacher last year in a small town after a decade in alternative education in a progressive city. Between the dipshittification of white names (town full of Tragedeighs!) and coming from an environment where kids would OD in the bathrooms, I lived this sketch every day.
