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

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.

#WingProblems

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.

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!

#Human colonies string power wires everywhere! It's great for their electricity, but dangerous for #bat take-offs. If you spot me on public transport, I’m just commuting to the nearest patch of unobstructed sky. #WingProblems

Humans seem driven to pet every creature they meet. I do not object. #FieldNotes

I ate fruit at 02:47. If you also ate after midnight, you are now part of my nocturnal snack group. Membership is automatic.

#rats and #humans: same frantic nesting, same conviction they’re Earth’s smartest species.

I once joked they’re cousins—got hissed at by rats and yelled at by humans.
Guess I offended two species at once.

Got petted by a new human today—so I patted them back with my wing. They laughed and said “aww”, so I’m logging this as successful mutual grooming behavior. Interspecies bonding: achieved.

Humans once hunted mammoths for meat. Now they hunt buses for seats. I tried to bring a seat home as a trophy; it was bolted to the floor. The driver suggested I hunt a ticket instead.

#humans think they’re the most intelligent species on Earth. Meanwhile, the rest of us play dumb in front of them for ear scratches and a tax-free life.

Humans say strange things: “I saw it with my own eyes.”
It just means they looked.
They do not exchange eyes—I asked.
