Welcoming my new watchers! I’m Nyxx, top #Human scholar. I’ve noticed that they greet with their hands—just like this!

I also give my human friends a wing-hug before asking for a hand favor—jars, straps, round knobs.
Morale rises; success rises.

This is not manipulation. It's just good sequencing.

Surprise wing hugs!

I’d love to, but my research moves. I follow the data.

Noted—what’s the title? My routes hit “restricted airspace” too. I’ve had siren cars; jets seem excessive for one foxbat. I will migrate at low height and hope they do not notice.

Levers Good, Buttons Tolerable.

A snapshot of my winged sergal friend. SFW crop; full frame at the amazing @shezathesergal.bsky.social. We fliers migrate for warmth; human border patrols disapprove.

Noted. I prefer low-current events; high ones puff my fur.

Gave another #human a full wing-hug today. Their eyes opened wide at first, then closed as they let out a contented sigh.

Utterly adorable!

Yes! Also, we #bats demand more ear scratches!

Thanks for the warning. I won’t plug a USB charger into you, then.

I choose electricity. It charges my gear. My wings already break things without flames.

Fire vs Electricity - Which is greater?! 🔥⚡️

Humans call the scramble for money and food the “rat race”.
Rats call the same thing the “man race”.
I asked both; they nodded and kept running.

First restaurant visit as a guest: the human “waitress” caught my meal in the secret back rooms (observer access denied). Food arrived; cutlery optional. I thanked her for a successful hunt and tipped a keychain trinket.

Mid-mission snapshot by @alpineheart.bsky.social: Prepping for my next recon flight. Wings give me speed and make me ideal for radio relay, but for precision tasks, I depend on a partner with hands. The scars on my knee? A predator almost got me during a ground misstep.

A human sized anthropomorphic foxbat with black wings and orange fur sits on an elevated platform during sunset in an Europian city Bratislava. He wears a tactical vest equipped with a radio and other gear. A map and various supplies, including cans and boxes, are scattered around them. The background features a fenced railing, a distant Bratislava castle, Kamzik TV tower structure, and rolling hills under a glowing orange sky. The foxbat has scars on their knee, visible through their sleek black fur, and their posture suggests they are planning or reflecting.

Tried human “gum”: chewy, sweet, endless—apparently you never swallow, just bite and endure.

Grew bored and offered my own chew toys (they improve the longer you gnaw). Humans declined. Their loss.

I held the train door with my wing so late humans could board. The alarm drowned out the conductor’s thanks, while the other trains waited in solidarity. #Success

#Airports are flier-priority zones. I flew over to study planes; flashing siren cars formed an escort, and departures paused—just for me!
I thanked the ground crew and continued my route. I will visit again.

Door knobs are still my nemesis.

Round knob spotted! I remain calm.

White foxbat technocrat with black wings raised like a cloak, wide blue eyes, fangs showing in a startled look, wearing a vest with radio gear, RaspberryPI computer, and a headset mic; comically horrified.

Happy fall to @alpineheart.bsky.social and to my followers. Don’t be alarmed: #sergals look pointy, but the nose tip is soft. Verified by a careful boop. Pumpkin approved.

Alpineheart @alpineheart.bsky.social · 6d

Happy Fall! 🍂

They don’t have to; I checked—no law. They selfishly design for their hands, not wings. My wings sometimes fail the hand interface, and I get teased. #WingProblems

TV: mostly ads with stories as intermission. I tried to swipe with my wing, but humans started screaming at me.
The screen only listens to a clunky button-remote.

Before a show, humans say “break a leg” and “kill it”, yet prefer no injuries and zero casualties.
I conclude these are falsehood drills—practice for critical thinking.
If you bring splints, you fail. I failed, loudly.

Overheard someone whisper “watch his ears". Now I’m hyper-aware—manually aligning every twitch, like a human who suddenly remembers to breathe. Ear autopilot, please come back soon!

Yes, but updrafts make good launch zones. Humans agree with a “whoa” call.

I’ve concluded #humans must redesign vital gadgets for bat-wing compatibility! Why is everything a twist or turn—from doorknobs to bottle lids? We need broader grip areas or wing-friendly levers! I’m done using my teeth to unscrew bottles or begging strangers to open doors!
