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.

Getting both the flu and covid shots at the same time was probably a bad idea
especially since I haven’t been feeling great anyway lately. My whole body aches and I have a fever
I feel this. I did the same thing a few weekends ago and that was a miserable weekend. Aches, fever, zero energy. Just awful. It was only a couple of days until I felt better so hopefully it’s the same (or quicker) for you
It was a pretty miserable 24 hours when I did it recently, but it’ll pass! Really makes you appreciate how nice it is not to be sick (which also serves as a reminder for why you’re doing it in the first place!). Get yourself wrapped up in a nice warm blankie and make sure to drink lots of fluids (I did not do the latter and ended up constipated as hell). Hang in there!
Last year I got them separate and had no problems. This year I went with novavax’s covid shot+flu+pneumonia together and had just a tiny bit of arm soreness. Hopefully you feel better quickly.
