The account @pisum referenced was deleted in April. It looks like iNaturalist didn’t reindex all observations where that account had added annotations, which is what we think caused the problem here. It’s been reindexed and loads fine now.

there’s something wrong with the annotations on this observation. you can view the rest of it if you start with another observation first, collapse the annotations section on that, and then load this observation. specifically, it looks like the observer made 3 annotations, and a user 6542488 agreed…
