My recent Gay WNBA quiz marks the first time in my career as a trivia quiz writer that those who took it complained it was too easy. This is a joyful turn of events for me, but also one I should’ve anticipated — when it comes to sports, people know their shit, even more than they know their shit regarding, say, gay celebrities or teevee shows. On instagram, the people demanded a Level 2. Of course I had no choice but to deliver.  Especially because now the season is over and I am empty inside. Do you want a Level 3? Let Me Know.

Ah yes, it’s time for another quiz where I roast you! Perhaps you are currently unemployed or considering a major career pivot or saying to your friends every week that you want to quit your job. Consider this: a fake lesbian job! These jobs are technically unpaid, but they will give your life purpose or at least give you something to incessantly talk about.

Fall is in the air — or so I hear. I live in Florida, where “fall” isn’t much of a concept weather-wise. I have to create fall through decor and vibes, which I’ve gotten quite good at! A fall candle hates to see me coming. And hey, it WAS 75 degrees when I started my tennis match the other morning, and if that isn’t Central Florida fall I don’t know what is!!!!! Well in my ongoing efforts to trick myself into experiencing fall, I have concocted this fall-themed quiz for you. Take it while sipping something warm or eating a sweet fall treat.

Recently, I was looking back on the previous month’s output on Autostraddle as we always do, taking a look at patterns, data, what readers did and did not respond to, etc. And when looking at some of the numbers for my own work, I saw something strange. The 15th most popular post written by me for the month of July was not, in fact, something I wrote IN July but rather my list of couples costume ideas for lesbians. Lesbians and queer people, it seems, were getting a proper good head start on planning their couples costumes for gay Christmas aka Halloween.

Now, this is delightful and relatable! My wife and I have an official household policy of knowing what we’re doing for Halloween in August. July is even more impressive in terms of Halloween forethought! But some costumes really do require more planning than others, especially if you’re going to DIY them. Take my coworker Motti’s couples costume with his girlfriend last year — the viral Chappell Roan x Passenger Seat costumes — for example.

But the fact that the queer masses are already Googling what to be for Halloween is also stressful, because fam! I have not updated that list yet! It has some evergreen suggestions, sure, like Morticia and Gomez, a couples costume option for femme/butch couples I don’t ever see going out of fashion. But it’s also full of 2024-specific costume ideas and options that otherwise feel dated. Should I update this list sooner rather than later?! Are we really already planning couples costumes?! DO YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT YOU’RE GOING TO BE?

Admittedly, my wife and I indeed had our costume ideas locked in by July this year, owing mainly due to my wife getting tipsy on a plane and then popping on the feature film Jaws as well as to my enduring obsession with Jaws that has recently blossomed into an obsession with shark movies in general. So in case you’re wondering: We are being Quint and Jaws. It’s unclear both how we’re going to execute these costume visions (I mean, my wife already kind of dresses like Quint, that part will be easy) and where we are going to wear them to, as we’ll be in a car and on an airplane for most of actual Halloween.

But who would we be if we didn’t already have an elaborate couples costume plan despite not having actual Halloween plans?! A STRAIGHT couple????? (Who knows, maybe straight couples plan their Halloween costumes together early, too, but in the first month of Q3?????? I doubt it.)
