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.

I managed to stumble across a person who happened to be an auDHDer like myself in a game just now out of blind luck. They had very similar academic interest to mine so we had a fabulous yap session/taking turns infodumping session.
It was pertinent to the discussion at the time so I mentioned the anarchist Ivan Illich’s work to them and they were immediately very interested in his stuff. It was definitely in keeping with my “Chuck 'em leftwards and hope they land somewhere good” strategy.
Apparently I still got it in me.
Also Linux stay winning
Yeah, I’m an enbie who hasn’t figured it all out yet but maybe agender spec? Still learning, always learning.
I feel like it’s pretty common with AuDHD. When given the chance to think about gender perhaps we take a bottom up perspective to see how this “gender” thing feels. From that point of view it’s pretty easy to see it doesn’t exist but it’s fun to try out different expressions.
