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.

Getting some routine blood work done, and I asked the doctor to check my T levels.

He asked if I'm "having problems in the male department"

Why, yes, doctor, you might say I am catgirl-smug

how the fuck did the shipping get my dead name printed on the label of my package? this is bullshit wtf

at least i got my new shoes now. hopefully they fit

[-] EstraDoll@hexbear.net 2 points 1 day ago

they do! They're a little odd fitting because they're a wide fit and I don't really have wide feet, just long ones, but they fit and they look great!

webfishing is a game where you destroy the server with a manta ray

[-] imogen_underscore@hexbear.net 12 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

If this account still exists and is functional, any chance it could host a c/traa megathread?

[-] Bureaucrat@hexbear.net 4 points 1 day ago

We'll post four megathreads at the same time probs, but it would be funny

[-] gaystyleJoker@hexbear.net 3 points 1 day ago

[-] oscardejarjayes@hexbear.net 4 points 1 day ago

Haven't painted my nails in a bit and for the best, got an interview tomorrow and I gotta look not too hot to intimidate the interviewers. I'll give it a month if I get in to secure my position before I get back to it, maybe finally get some high end nail polish and not the dollar store stuff I find.

Hear me out; what if we just gave everyone with treatment resistant depression and dissociation a taste of HRT and saw what happened?

[-] ValenThyme@reddthat.com 12 points 2 days ago

i had black depression with suicidal ideation for a decade+ and never in a million years thought it was gender related. the magnetic brain stimulation and ketamine were the only two things left to try.

i was talking to my trauma therapist about a skirt i found at the thrift store and wanted to wear (egg much?) and they encouraged me and the first time i wore my skirt with painted toes and got gender euphoria it blew me away.

A month later my egg cracked while listening to chapel roan. I have now been about 5 months depression free and only have had suicidal ideation twice in that time.

I love myself limitlessly now. I had a visit with my pcp yesterday and they are soooo proud of my progress.

It might not be for everyone but it sure worked for me :)

noooooooooooooooooooo we have to waste threee years of everyone's time doing diagnosis, just give everyone a spike of the dumb bitch juice and it'll weed out the trans people by like 95% accuracy

Unironically not a bad idea.

Or at least you could mention that being trans is a thing even once (down with the cis).

girl facts I wish I knew sooner: apparently the longer your hair gets, the LESS often you're supposed to wash it wtf. i thought i was supposed to wash it more. this probably explains why my hair is always going fucking everywhere

another serious storm expected, and we're usually cut off for a few days to weeks when this happens. managed to go down for supplies, food, gasoline in case we lose power again, pick up medication, take medication in order to have vaguely functioning body, and make preparations for the storm. would have liked to be able to fix the roof leaks before the storm but unfortunately that was beyond my capabilities. but i got a whole bunch of dry wood before it all gets rained on so we should be able to stay warm and dryish.

was a p successful day, especially considering how hard everything has been recently. am proud of myself. and resting by the fire and keeping warm :3

Don’t let British people convince you they are smarter than Americans, they may be worse

[-] imogen_underscore@hexbear.net 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

as an irish person i have to say i have a bit more patience for yanks. ime brits tend to be more chauvinistic and less likely to admit the evilness of their own country. lots of them are crypto-unionists too. definitely more prejudiced against them
