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 haven't been getting decent sleep the last few days, so I'm tired. Also I'm getting a flare up of what I think is a fungal infection that makes my mouth dry and my lips sore. Also I'm at work and it's cold here. I just want to lie down yes-honey-left

I have gone days laughing at the absurdity of thinking. More often the thoughts fight themselves. Today was the latter but I was reminded of the exercise to ask who is perceiving what I think I perceive. “Who thinks this, who thinks that,” makes it sound like my mind is treating me like a dog and that is fun/ny. doggirl-smug

:))))) new calf boots came in and they fit like a dream. Surprisingly comfortable too. Snagged them on a hell of a sale and they fit my big ass t girl feet :))))

[-] SuperZutsuki@hexbear.net 4 points 23 hours ago

I need details, fellow bigfoot

[-] EstraDoll@hexbear.net 2 points 22 hours ago

I just got them off Torrid. It sounds really obvious once I said it aloud but going to plus sized women's fashion lines also means they got shoes for girls with big feet. I'm a women's size 12.5, and all their shoes are for wide sizes, so they're a little roomy on my feet but nothing two pairs of socks can't fix

mmm just got my lipids checked and if i have successfully lowered my cholesterol i get to switch from the patch to estradiol injection monotherapy. 🤞🏻

I had to go through that too, contrats on making it!

[-] Thallo@hexbear.net 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Is there some kind of reaction between patch/injections and cholesterol?

[-] ValenThyme@reddthat.com 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

there's an increased stroke risk with high cholesterol. Estradiol itself comes with an increased stroke risk as well.

The patch gives you a slow trickle which i understand offers slightly less risk than injections?

My cholesterol was double the legal limit (like 195) but i brought it down through dietary changes (mostly vegan now!) and this check is to make sure it's really down!

[-] Thallo@hexbear.net 3 points 23 hours ago

Thank you! Good to know.

My cholesterol is sometimes a little high, but not that high

Good work dropping yours!

[-] ValenThyme@reddthat.com 1 points 23 hours ago

thank you i'm hyped!!

Marble Zone underrated

Does anyone know if old tubeless sealant in bike tyres needs to be completely removedd or can I leave a little bit of residue before adding new sealant and re-seating the tire?

Ended up wiping them down and putting new sealant in in case anyone is curious. So far they're holding air well but overnight will be the real test. The side walls of these tires are super thin and were leaking somewhat quickly before.

cw: dysphoriafucking awful day today, staring at the workplace mirror hating my face, my hair, my skin, my shoulders just ~fuck~fuckFUCK this shit

why couldnt my transness be diagnosed before puberty ruined my life goddamnit

I texted a couple of my local trans friends about having some sort of friendsgiving thing the weekend before regular thanksgiving. I used to get invited to those in college and I miss them. Kind of to my surprise, everyone was really excited and like 3 people volunteered to help cook. I'm honestly so happy I have queer friends who I can recreate college with lol.
