Recommended Videos

After Donald Trump reportedly made ignorant-ass racist comments about not wanting immigrants from “shithole countries”–specifically Haiti and African countries–people from those places have some words for him. They’ve been sharing their stories and their accomplishments on Twitter. (via BuzzFeed)

Oh, and please let’s not forget:

  • Crazy Ex-Girlfriend wants to remind you that “fit, hot guys have problems, too.” They just need to dance out their feelings but hey, don’t look at them. They’re not dancing for you. (via E! News)
  • In an awesome, necessary, and upsettingly rare move, Australia’s female rugby players will now be paid the same as their male counterparts. (via Quartz)
  • This Black Panther jewelry line–designed by a black woman, BTW–is incredible. (via Wear Your Voice)
  • So you think Tessa Thompson is excited that her depiction of Valkyrie is making her way into the comics?

  • Sexual harassment and assault are huge problems in academia. That’s not new information, of course, but survivors are sharing their stories, showing just how widespread the issue is and how damaging it can be to students’ futures. (via Hello Giggles)

What did you all see out there this Friday, pups?
