Thanks to the Brain Scoop, the youtube channel for the Field Museum and their top-notch, high-speed delivery. In this case, host Emily Graslie shares an insightful rundown on some artifacts in the museum surrounding this 1893 event.
I guess in the comments section of this video a troll tried to explain that the necklace admired by Emily G is in fact not to be admired and is in fact “primitive”. (Not to mention discouraging political analysis in museum videos).
Bang! Here comes “intern Katie” who explains a few thoughtful ideas to this commenter.
I think this is a good reminder that the comment sections aren’t always toxic. Let us forward accountability to those who would haunt the comment sections. (Not to affirm some of the problematic ideas about humanism represented by Katie.)

The Brain Scoop on bullying
Science video blogger Emily Graslie has a crisp response to the nasty emails she receives. Graslie hosts her show the Brain Scoop. I like the performative readings of the emails themselves.
Thanks Feministing for the link.
