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.

My brain is so mean to me Just a constant stream of negativity towards myself. Nothing is ever good enough
Goodnight comrades, here’s part of the code of conduct that i think about alot
Be aware of your own enjoyment of the site.
- If you find yourself no longer having fun, do something else. There are many different comms on Hexbear, and many different ways to shitpost and have fun.
- If the site as a whole is just not cutting it for you, take a break. We’ll still be here when you get back. Nothing should compel you to stay.
prog’s a freakin scam
i don’t know what your experiences of it are but my mind jumped to this immediately. apologies if i’m going in the wrong direction here. i’ve talked to people who’ve had good experiences of it, but my own experience, and that of the 2 people i’ve let try the supply i was prescribed but couldn’t take (it’s the good stuff, the kind that you’re supposed to take), has been resoundingly negative. it gives me some p bad physical health issues, and it gave the others such bad mental symptoms they never touched it again.
it’s a mixed bag, some people love it. but not everyone gets on well with it, including you know, an awful lot of cis women. and that’s completely valid and okay.
i want to say something but someone has to give me permission.
