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.

        Torrid is good for thicc feet. All the shoes I ordered fit quite comfortably. Onlymaker is tighter but better than typical fashion shoes (caveat: only have one pair with a square toe, so maybe the round/pointed ones are worse). Pleaser has "comfort width" that only goes up to size 11, but then has "pink label" that goes to 15 but it's all normal width angery. A size 14 Pleaser is much narrower and tighter than a Torrid 13. That's all I've tested right now. If you've got any recs let me know.

            I would recommend trying at least one pair of 13s from them. I think they fit large for 13s in length as well as width. You can always return them if they don't fit.
