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.

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
unfortunate, was it billing or something?
I guess? I kept trying to enter my debit card info but it kept getting declined so I paid through paypal instead, which used my legal name, and apparently that overrid the shipping info? idk, it sucks but what can i do now? other than get my name changed legally
Paypal is weird about shipping addresses yeah. Used to be a huge thing on ebay, you had to ship to the address you had saved/chosen in paypal, the seller usually wouldn’t send it otherwise, you couldn’t change it just on the ebay side. I don’t think it has to be your legal name, just change the shipping address on the paypal site
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!
that’s nice, do they look cool?
only tried on half of them so far but yeah, I love them!
