we made a call recently that we're gonna reshare most of the Xenia stuff that crosses our feed
(Xenia being the trans foxgirl hacker Linux mascot, who was one of the other entrants back in the day when Linus asked for suggestions and settled on the penguin)
just to kinda, like...
tell the story
to remind the world of what it's supposed to be
@irenes I love that in a lot of art she's still kind of a linux bro despite being a girl. it's cute when she does it.
@transfaeries it is cute when she does it, yeah, it feels like the artist intends us to be more self-critical about it :)
@irenes yeah it's like both a reminder that we shouldn't do that, a nice bit of self fun (because it's all too easy to fall into it), and also (and this could just be me having more goodwill towards a cute fox girl) I don't think she's as bad as some of the real examples you can see in the wild
@transfaeries agreed on all counts :)
