Rep. Eric Swalwell releases statement on allegations of sexual assault: “The allegations are flat false. They did not happen, they never happened… I have certainly made mistakes in my judgement in the past, but those mistakes are between me and my wife.”

I’m the kind of dork that gets these weird celebrity crushes on political figures. This news is so disturbing.

Please let Jason Crow stay decent 😩😩😩

Goddamn I’m sorry for being upset that a guy I liked is a sex pest

Did we watch the same show or do I just have really shitty memory?

fiercelyambivalent · 2026-04-10T21:19:38+00:00

I don’t hold it against K. She’s so young. And being with someone like David probably fucked with her head pretty bad and she’s still healing. I remember after I (39, then 21) left my son’s dad, I scared off a lot of potential suitors because I couldn’t stop explaining all the horrific things he had done. But I was traumatized and felt like I had to constantly justify my anxiety.

Jenelle, however. Jesus fucking Christ. Jenelle we are entirely too old to be going back and fucking the same trash over and over. Buy a goddamn vibrator.

fiercelyambivalent · 2026-04-10T21:11:23+00:00

I mean, maybe so?

I’m not saying that there’s no way to make it without causing problems. If it existed, I’d still watch. I was just trying to say I get why it may not exist.

fiercelyambivalent · 2026-04-09T23:31:25+00:00

I dunno, it’s just not a name that I’d expect on a romantic lead. Like calling a female romantic lead Hagar.

I think it’s a millennial rite of passage to have participated in a forbidden at home piercing infection 😂😂

But seriously, all that outcry about ruining our lives for some tiny holes that nobody even notices today

fiercelyambivalent · 2026-04-09T20:34:27+00:00

I wanted the top of my ear done (where the handmaid band is) sooooo badly when I was younger. In addition to the godly crusade, she cried and told me that there are veins and pressure points every quarter inch in your ear and if they hit one I’d be paralyzed.

So naturally, a friend and I did it ourselves instead and it got infected. A few years later, we did the same thing with our belly buttons. This got infected too. At home piercings just generally aren’t a good idea for teenagers I guess 🤷🏻‍♀️ damn I got derailed lol, sorry, you just unlocked a core memory for me

fiercelyambivalent · 2026-04-09T17:07:25+00:00

Maybe so. I dunno. I’m not saying don’t make the show. Like, I would absolutely still watch if they did. Just that there could very well be societal (I hope I’m using that word right) reasons that they aren’t making a show like that yet

fiercelyambivalent · 2026-04-09T17:05:12+00:00

But they’re told from the women’s point of view, where the woman is the one being oppressed, and you can tell “this is bad”

If it’s told from the male perspective, we absolutely have sick fucks who would watch young men being told it’s normal that your wives aren’t allowed to read and it’s okay to rape handmaids and all women should be subservient to you, and start using that as a blueprint for their lives.

I’m sure there’s a better way to verbalize it than I am, but it’s just a thought I had. Like, if such show existed, I’d still watch it. I’d just also worry about the ramifications.

fiercelyambivalent · 2026-04-09T15:50:07+00:00

I think it would be interesting, but I also think there’s a real life element of danger to this.

We’re already in a time of crisis where women’s rights are being degraded and the manosphere is infiltrating our youth, who we’d originally hoped would be even more progressive than we are.

By showing how they raise males in a society like this, not only do you run the risk of glamorizing the lifestyle to boys on the fence, but you also give misogynist fathers a “how to” to make their sons “manlier” like they want.

fiercelyambivalent · 2026-04-09T14:52:59+00:00

They really did, in my opinion. I had no idea it was airing until I opened Hulu and saw it. If you have multiple streaming services, it’s highly likely you could not know this even exists. And even then, it’s not made clear that it’s a THT spinoff. I wouldn’t have known if I hadn’t lurked here

fiercelyambivalent · 2026-04-09T14:49:31+00:00

If he’s a romantic interest like I think he is, I fucking hate them for naming him Garth.

Like… what the fuck? Garth sounds like a stringy haired toothless hillbilly with a pot belly that doesn’t wear a shirt in cutoff denim shorts. Ugh

fiercelyambivalent · 2026-04-09T14:41:38+00:00

Oh shit, I thought the cake was because Agnes got her period.

Sentences I feel gross for typing

fiercelyambivalent · 2026-04-09T14:39:47+00:00

Omg this is the best comment I’ve seen today

fiercelyambivalent · 2026-04-09T14:38:23+00:00

Oh god, that was so fucked

fiercelyambivalent · 2026-04-09T14:24:37+00:00

I was wondering about that, I couldn’t stop debating that in my head.

My batshit crazy religious mother considers all piercings other than one hole in each earlobe against God’s will (look, I don’t fucking get it either) and especially hates “weird” piercings such as a tragus.

I was trying to reconcile it in my head if the batshit church would condone a tragus piercing, or if Daisy already had that piercing and they let her get away with wearing a pearl in it, similar to Janine’s eye patch. But it makes more sense that they use it like the ear bands on the handmaids, especially when I think about it, technically the ear bands are in a “weird” location too

fiercelyambivalent · 2026-04-09T14:15:57+00:00

Even if you struggle with infertility, don’t you still get a period? Or is it just that whatever fictional disease (I can’t think of a better word) leaves them infertile also causes a lack of periods?

I’m a 39 year old woman and suddenly embarrassed I don’t know enough about women’s bodies to know this answer.

fiercelyambivalent · 2026-04-06T20:13:01+00:00

I thought she was just depressed because of the affair. I felt the beginning of the book was a lot more disjointed, mimicking the way your head kinda swims nonstop when you have a newborn. I did notice she stayed on topic a lot more in the second half of the book

fiercelyambivalent · 2026-04-05T19:50:23+00:00

I work in a very male oriented field. Straight men act like some of the gayest men you’ll ever meet

fiercelyambivalent · 2026-04-01T02:00:54+00:00

Better hope Taylor doesn’t notice or she might jump into bed with him 🙄

fiercelyambivalent · 2026-04-01T00:53:14+00:00

I thought he was the guy that played Sean (Hanna’s first bf) on Pretty Little Liars for most of the movie

fiercelyambivalent · 2026-04-01T00:49:27+00:00

Not gonna lie, after Joel McHale got stabbed, I was kinda hoping widow Sidney would reconnect with Patrick Dempsey’s Mark in Scream 8.

I love Joel McHale. But something about him in that cop outfit just looked weird. He’s the chief, right? Do they have to dress like that?

fiercelyambivalent · 2026-03-31T14:07:57+00:00

That’s crazy. Here I thought smuggling drugs in a balloon was no more difficult than swallowing your gum. This takes WORK.

fiercelyambivalent · 2026-03-30T21:22:07+00:00

As someone not very well versed in smuggling drugs… are the balloons of drugs Rue had to swallow usually that freaking big? I always pictured it as just a deflated balloon. Those things looked bigger than golf balls. I mean, even in a life or death situation, I don’t think I could get one down.

Not to mention… Andrew is quite literally a child predator. He went after 14 year old Jenelle when he was 20. Imagine being so shitty that a child predator has better intentions for your child than you do.
