Maki's Experiment

Regardless, it was the perfect place to start her new life away from Oz.

And she wasn't alone! As the caravan reached Ev she found many familiar faces, an Ox she shared a stable with once, a Fox she last seen fleeing Munchkinland, that weird Robin who kept announcing Ozma's return; and incredibly, almost miraculously Quattro and Semper. The Donkey and the Raccoon were all the Mule had left from their home in Gillikin, and they were here, she almost cried when she reunited with her family (not that they weren't doing much better)

"What news do you have from Oz?" Semper asked eventually, and Linny felt a pang, crap, they would have to know about the Witch; it would be very hard for Quattro to hear, her cousin had always admired her.

Thankfully she was spared of being the bearer of bad news, as the Chicken that had ended as leader of the caravan took the unpleasant role the sharing the news with the welcoming committee:

"I'm afraid we brought tragic news from Oz; the Green Witch, protector of Animals" her voice broke a little "has been killed by agents of the Wizard and a young witch native from his homeland"

The reaction was more subdued that what Linny expected; the Ev residents looked at each other in awkward silence before Quattro said:

"Actually, I think the Witch faked her death"

Dead Silence

"WHAT?!" someone shouted

"The witch is here" a Cat said

"Here in Ev?" Linny asked in disbelief

"Actually, she's right over there" Semper added pointing to one side; and indeed, the Green Witch of Oz, the only human who ever stepped forward to defend Animals (and as a result was called "the Wicked Witch of the West") was there, alive and well, tending to the Ocelot that had overheated on the way

Linny was too shocked to react, and was dragged by the mob practically rushing the Witch.

"You're alive!" "I can't believe it!" "I knew the water thing was nonsense!" the crowd was saying in shock and awe, it was like a miracle, but then then someone stepped between the overwhelmed Witch and the group

"Please, give the lady some space!"

It was... a living scarecrow?

"Wait, aren't you the Scarecrow that supposedly helped kill the Green Witch?" Kamila the Goat asked confused

The Scarecrow and the Witch looked at each other for a moment before the Witch responded:

For a character to be canonically bi you have to make sure and establish that they're attracted to multiple genders. Not all mediums allow you to get inside every character's head or show what they're thinking. Flirting can be read ambiguously, and god forbid they flirt with a character who's not into them and be read as pushy or predatory. So it can be super handy to just mention an ex or two! But you better not mention too many exes because that would make them a slutty bisexual which is (checks notes) bad, and you definitely better be careful about making them poly, because that might make them, uh... greedy. Oh, and those exes? They better be perfectly amiable breakups with no conflict or drama, because it's bad to represent queer people in toxic or abusive relationships (especially queer women! very bad), and you definitely can't have them have lost a partner if the partner was queer because that's "bury your gays..." You should probably also eliminate all trauma from their backstory, just to be safe. You should probably also make sure they're not involved in crime, deception, or anything of the sort, because that would make them "deviant" and a stereotype.

I saw this when running newpipe. But wait, it gets deeper. I clicked on the details buttons and it said as of today, we have 83 days left until Google rolls out this new requirement for apps inside and outside of the google play store. If any developer disagrees with their new terms and fees, they will be blocked!

I'll share some of the info below:

Looks like they're trying to nuke the remaining privacy and freedoms we have left on the internet.

What to do?

-Get your developer friends to not comply to their new guides

- Sign the open letter on the site and take action by checking out the full resources list on their website as well!

To summarize, this is all daunting especially when you feel all alone with unfair and inhumane regulations comming out faster than improvements but we got this working together!

Share the link with your friends, family and anyone who will listen!
