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.

    Lost so much shit since I started wearing women’s pants. I keep not bringing a purse because I think I won’t need it then I just feel my wallet slip out of my pocket after a minute of walking

          Ah, I think the problem in your case is that you actually do it in relation to the fear of losing something. I don’t actually think I’ve lost something, I just feel bad and have done the compulsion of checking whatever multiple times before I even think about it. /s

      Which is a shame cause many dresses and skirts could fit such huge pockets without it being noticeable or annoying. Like steam deck or maybe even small laptop sized pockets. A good bag or purse is super worth having imo but when I start makingy own clothes I’m making cargo skirts.
