Xenia, the fox girl mascot of Linux, was first designed in 1996 by Alan Mackey. She was meant to be an alternative to Tux, the official mascot.

She had fallen into obscurity, but was noticed by a Twitter user in 2019 and was redrawn as a fox girl. But as it turned out, Xenia was originally meant to be male! The original creator, Alan, was cool with this, saying “It matches the transition of a lot of the smartest, nerdiest Linux users I know” and “And sure, you made her trans!”.

So now we have a trans Linux mascot. And I think that’s neat.

    How bad is it that I accidentally injected a decent amount (0.01-0.05 ml) into my thigh? I switched needles after drawing the estrogen and forgot to push the air out. I stopped after I realized but I don’t know if any of the air came out

    I misread the “Linux” on her shirt as “Ligma” multiple times. Deadass. I keep having to double check.

    Another midnighter due to my excessive course-workload, AND Asahi’s decided to start having visible glitches in the File Manager. Both are my fault, because I took on more work than I could reasonably handle, and I tried to get fancy with a security patch on Asahi that’s causing the visual bugs even after I removed the patch from my system.

    I’m really breaking the “I post better when I’m tired” rule, I feel like I’ve just reached a point where I’ve lapped my maximum spoon count in negative spoons catgirl-flop
