Guessing there must have been an update, even though I am very sure I set this app to no auto-updates.
Because I suddenly started getting a bunch of these annoyance notifications on things that weren’t even reblogged from me. I had just reblogged some version of the same post with commentary.
In 1942 a British forest guard in India made an alarming discovery. Some 16,000 feet above sea level, at the bottom of a small valley, was a frozen lake absolutely full of skeletons. –Source

The skeletons are not even the weird part.
“As it turns out, all the bodies date to around 850 AD. DNA evidence indicates that there were two distinct groups of people, one a family or tribe of closely related individuals, and a second smaller, shorter group of locals, likely hired as porters and guides. Rings, spears, leather shoes, and bamboo staves were found, leading experts to believe that the group was comprised of pilgrims heading through the valley with the help of the locals.All the bodies had died in a similar way, from blows to the head. However, the short deep cracks in the skulls appeared to be the result not of weapons, but rather of something rounded. The bodies also only had wounds on their heads, and shoulders as if the blows had all come from directly above. What had killed them all, porter and pilgrim alike?Among Himalayan women there is an ancient and traditional folk song. The lyrics describe a goddess so enraged at outsiders who defiled her mountain sanctuary that she rained death upon them by flinging hailstones “hard as iron.” After much research and consideration, the 2004 expedition came to the same conclusion. All 200 people died from a sudden and severe hailstorm.Trapped in the valley with nowhere to hide or seek shelter, the “hard as iron” cricket ball-sized [about 23 centimeter/9 inches circumference] hailstones came by the thousands, resulting in the travelers’ bizarre sudden death. The remains lay in the lake for 1,200 years until their discovery.”
ok so the other day i was at sears. I was in the baby section. Im standing there looking at clothes and a lady who works there comes up and is like “oh are you expecting?” And i was like “uhhhh” and because im a dumbass i was like “no i already delivered.” And she was like “How long ago?” And i was just like “two weeks.” And she said “wow! You look great! When i had my first son, i looked like a mess for six months. Is it a boy or a girl?” And i was just awkwardly like “a girl….” And she asked her name and i said Chernobyl and she was like “oh what a cute name! It sounds really familiar.” And i honestly just stood there going through all that and pretending i had a human baby two weeks ago named Chernobyl because i didnt wanna tell this poor lady i was buying baby clothes for my fucking baby opossum
Okay, so it turns the problem with my activity feed that I’ve been complaining about for the past 3 days (the flood of unwanted reply notifications I’ve been getting from other ppl’s viral posts) is indeed a new “feature,” and not a glitch.
THE PLAGUE OF SPAM HAS A NAME: Conversational Notes
Apparently, tumblr thinks that turning our activity pages into an endless YouTube comment section will “encourage more conversations” and “increase engagement” (see: TechCrunch article).
Not all blogs have yet been “gifted” with this “””feature””” but I don’t doubt that soon your blogs will also be affected.
You won’t be able to leave a reply, or reblog comment on any viral post without having your activity page flooded with every single subsequent reply that post receives.
I know we’ve had a good Christmas but it’s important to remember that, in the UK, doctors are now proscribing food to people and are also treating children for rickets.
Luckily I’ve not heard about any Scottish doctors having to do it, but this shows where the UK is headed.
You will be hard pressed to find Scottish nationalists talking about blood purity.
British nationalists are a different breed. A complete bunch of morons.
It’s a fucking color. How insecure do you have to be to think people making fun of a design choice is, somehow, about blood purity? Gods, the English are on another plane of existence.
i love how he appears to gloss over the fact that the Anglo-Saxons, the tribe that was to become the English, were invaders that acquired land via displacing the native populace. there is no one in the UK, or the world for that matter, that is purely Anglo-Saxon, and no amount of rose tinted hyper-nationalism is going to change that.
