Half Seat, R.E. Gibbons, Miniature Salesman Sample Saddle
A very early example of a salesman sample, miniature saddle. The Cheyenne roll cantle has large leaf tooling in the early California style, separate side jockeys, Sam Stagg rigging, with double leather covered rings and stirrups. Marked with an oval cartouche on the jockeys "R. E. GIBBONS" with hair saddle bags. Shows quality restoration. 11" overall (on stand). Includes display stand and blanket.
The bottom of the cartouche is illegible but records show R. E. Gibbons as a maker in Gainesville, Texas in 1885.
Old West Events
for the redditors coming here, this is how we spread news of important events in the world, with a Destiel meme
For everybody who's been here a while and felt like Wiley E. Coyote just after running off the edge of the cliff when they scrolled down to find nothing below
watching reddit go into a full death spiral is like watching the specifically trans equivalent of the library of alexandria go up in flames
like yes reddit is also the only place on the internet you can get an actual answer to any question in general. but it’s also a huge centralized community database about which surgeons will fuck you over, who takes what insurance, which doctors you can trust, how to write a template therapist’s letter, insurance appeals, peer support, questions that feel too stupid to ask anywhere else, diy guidelines, “hey this is embarrassing but,” finding trans people in your area, explaining why you need PTO without getting way too personal about it, safety tips, et cetera you get the picture
Someone on trans Reddit just bought the url transgender.org and have put out a call for folks to help turn it into a replacement (and more). Here's a link on r/ftm but it's open to everyone
why is this so fucking funny
It occurs to me that there are people who weren’t on this website in 2012 and therefore never saw the magical gif that you can actually hear:
It’s been over five years and that still impresses the hell out of me.
wdym you can hear it?
Basically, it’s a form of synesthesia, movement-hearing. In this case, you expect to hear a thud, so you do. It’s estimated that 20% of people experience this type of synesthesia, as opposed to 2-4% for other kinds.

YO what the FUXK
The longer you watch it the more you get convinced that you can hear a distant thud and the air displace.
I heard the thud. I closed my eyes and the thud stopped. I opened my eyes and I heard the thud. My goodness but human brains are a mess.

This was easily the first ever viral post on Tumblr back in 2011/12. Perhaps even before the great “what your leg feels like after falling asleep” followed by a picture of a static teevee channel.
Why is my username dead on this post? I’m still here.
Sometimes i can still hear his voice

[Image description: 3 square graphics showing the trans and lesbian flags together over a pink, jagged, washi-tape textured background. The first image shows a single flag with the 5-stripe lesbian colors (red, orange, pink and magenta) blending into the trans flag. The second image shows the lesbian and trans flags crossing their poles in the middle. The third image shows the two flags waving in opposite directions. End ID]
