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 was absent for a few weeks. Sure glad decades didn’t happen in the meantime
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.
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
Me, four hours ago: hmm I need to work plenty today

Hello mega thread I got gay married. I am now in a rather nice municipal records office submitting my papers so that the stinking landlord legally cannot stop me from moving in with my partner.
Doggirls rule, catgirls drool
If this account still exists and is functional, any chance it could host a c/traa megathread?
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.
Sick of being constantly ignored by my friend whenever i try to reach out
I love my trans comrades
i now understand webfishing yes it is good i caught a branch and was delighted
Comrades! I am trying to go for a cyberpunk look for a show tomorrow and want to do some facial wiring with the metallic powder i got (mehron gold - sooooooo pretty). How do i get crisp, clean, straight lines??? What kind of brush do i need?
family shit, mental health breakthrough/down, sui baiting, raging, extremely pitch black bile vomiting bitter lizard brain fight or flight rage
no I'm serious, this is the angriest and most hateful screaming into the void shit I've ever posted and you'll probably regret reading it
okay, last warning
finally snapped and fucking lost it at my piece of shit worthless disgusting scumbag dad after he got aggro at me about me going to recycle a years worth of inhaler boxes he had dumped everywhere on the floor of his disgusting shithole bathroom after I FUCKING CLEANED IT FOR HIM AT THE ONLY OPPORTUNITY I HAD TO WHEN HE LEFT HIS HOUSE TO BUY BOOZE (THE ONLY FUCKING REASON HE’LL PUT PANTS ON AND LEAVE THE HOUSE, BUT STILL REFUSES TO SHOWER FOR THREE FUCKING WEEKS) and I kinda blacked out from adrenaline and don’t remember what I said verbatim, but it definitely involved telling him he’s a disgusting decrepit braindead miserable piece of shit that’s done nothing but unsuccessfully attempt to drink himself to death for 15 years, because he can’t even do that right and just expects his family to put up with him, buy him more booze and take him to urgent care when he falls
Somehow managed to keep myself from getting physical with him other than spitting in his face and telling him everyone that’s actually still in his life, ESPECIALLY him, would be immeasurably happier if he fucking killed himself and quit wasting everyone’s fucking time making himself and everyone that has to actually interact with him sick
Stormed out and beat the absolute shit out of his barbecue with a baseball bat and I think I might have broken a bone in my hand and hacked the fuck out of a maple sapling out front with a machete
I’m really glad the neighbors weren’t home
self harm
I’m gonna go buy a pack of smokes, chainsmoke until I’m sick, resist the urge to put them out on myself, then go to the gym and test one rep maxes before all the adrenaline wears out and I crash
