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 managed to stumble across a person who happened to be an auDHDer like myself in a game just now out of blind luck. They had very similar academic interest to mine so we had a fabulous yap session/taking turns infodumping session.
It was pertinent to the discussion at the time so I mentioned the anarchist Ivan Illich's work to them and they were immediately very interested in his stuff. It was definitely in keeping with my "Chuck 'em leftwards and hope they land somewhere good" strategy.
Apparently I still got it in me.
Also Linux stay winning
·1 month agoReadFanon is trans? How much more based can you get?
Yeah, I'm an enbie who hasn't figured it all out yet but maybe agender spec? Still learning, always learning.
I feel like it’s pretty common with AuDHD. When given the chance to think about gender perhaps we take a bottom up perspective to see how this “gender” thing feels. From that point of view it’s pretty easy to see it doesn’t exist but it’s fun to try out different expressions.
Ughhhhhhhhh the waitress at the cafe im at is a super fucking cute trans girl. I look like dogshit right now and i dont know how to talk to people irl aghhhhh
politics, politics
AOC removed her pronouns from her twitter bio lol even the most left wing dems are snivelling liberal cowards
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.
fucking white queer libs i am so fucking done i was on this nice ace kink server, with my partner partner notices a sus profile, and i autotranslate the hebrew on it, and it's a clear zionist. i even asked my friend who speaks hebrew and he told me it was an israeli nationalist slogal. i alert the mods about this, and the mod i speak to says they'll talk to the other mods.
they tell me to suck it up and they won't do anything. it's not a political space after all (LIKE FUCKING HELL IT ISN'T). this was already too far but i didn't do anything, except privately explain to the mod that this was the wrong decision and why, and ask they convey that to the rest of the mod team.
next day a mod shuts down a conversation that drifted into politics.
so i just fucking posted a song in solidarity with palestine, announced i was leaving because the server is tolerating zionists, and left. wish i'd posted screenshots of the mod convo before i left but hindsight is 20/20 i guess. i was told afterwards by a member that this guy had been much more vocal about his zionism on another server and caused a whole drama.
just. how hard is it to not include reactionaries in queer spaces? this place would boot out anyone who came in with fascist profile shit. zionism is a form of fascism but somehow that doesn't count? like no fash but sure, you support an ethnostate actively committing genocide, why don't you come into our safe space? well great, now there is no safe space. i loved that place. it was the only social space i felt safe in a sexual sense.
does anyone have a recommendation of a queer kink discord server than does not include zionists?
My tits really hurt. I guess this is just something that happens when I get a cold now
Edit: god this really feels like a monkey’s paw curse. Jokes on them though cause I can take it
Edit 2: KITTY NO!! DONT STEP THERE!!!

HRT Moments
Just gave a woman her first injection! She has been on pills for a while, and wanted to give injections a try. I love doing this for my trans comrades. It is really intimate and fun.
Hello new trans mega
I went for two different walks today and my legs are feeling p o w e r f u l
Night walk had a pretty moon view
✨Show
Feeling so much queer joy today 💖
I'm SO glad I made it passed the initial excitement phase. I was so worried that I was only doing this because it's exciting, and, once the excitement wore off, I wouldn't be interested anymore.
But the absolute normalcy of my gender is SO much better. When I can present fem in front of my friends and hear my pronouns just as a normal fact of life rather than something I have to build up courage for, it just HITS.
The more I come out of the closet, the more real it all feels, and doubts start melting away. I honestly can't wait to try E!
My friend just sent me a decade old photo of myself when I had a huge beard. Just wearing swim shorts. I'm having complicated feelings.
Like, idk... I'm handsome, but it's okay to think you're handsome and still want to transition. Sometimes feels like I'm fucking something up.
I mean, I look at recent photos of me in makeup/dresses, and I'm still handsome/pretty, but... Idk, it would've just been easier I guess.
Also I had super hairy legs. REALLY glad those are gone. I had actually forgotten what they looked like lol
Gonna
and 
for a while, comrades. Got some things I need to do. Be back soon!
Make sure to keep the cis down in my absence.
