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.

A year ago I had a pilonidal abscess and had to get it drained. Now I have a cyst on the same area.The gift that keeps on giving, despite your wishes.
I think your spoiler tag is broken somehow but I'm not sure what's wrong with it. It isn't showing on my end.
cw real gross medical experience
if I get another abscess down there I'm just gonna let it kill me, that shit was not pleasant, especially going to the urgent care and showing several nurses my taint while they went at it with a scalpel and syringe. Incredibly cursed experience actually
