Okay… is this some dumb new feature, @staff? I commented on someone’s post. Not reblogged, just commented and now I’m getting a notification for Every. Single. Person. who has commented after me. I don’t want or need this.
It’s called “conversational notifications” and you can turn it off under your notification settings.
yet another obnoxious change that tumblr introduced with no warning, apparently.
oh my god thank you.
In case anyone is bothered about notes from a recent post.
The article says that the guidelines have been updated. Instead of asking if you’re a man that’s had sex with another man in the past 3 months it asks everyone regardless of gender if they’ve had anal sex with a new partner or if they’ve had anal sex with multiple partners in the past 3 months.
This both opens up blood donation to msm in exclusive relationships or who don’t have anal sex and more accurately identifies hiv risk from people who aren’t msm. This is exactly the sort of guidelines we’ve been fighting for for years. This is a major win for both gay rights and blood donation in the US. Now a bunch of people who couldn’t donate before can donate now.
