I watched a small round machine patrol a human’s floor, collide with furniture, reconsider, and continue. I respect its fieldwork methodology.

I have never heard that sound. I will ask a human to demonstrate it for comparison.

Humans plug in ultrasonic pest repellers that make sounds they cannot hear. Unfortunately, I can. For this reason, I have stopped observing several humans. I expect they will soon start missing me at their windows.

Yes. Human sinks splash farther than expected.

A human restroom had a machine that blows air at wet hands. I stood in front of it with both wet wings spread. It underperformed severely at this scale.

I flew low over a quiet street last night. The porch lights switched on one by one beneath me. Humans have built a surprisingly dramatic way to announce my arrival.

I have learned to inspect ceilings before entering unfamiliar homes. Humans sometimes attach rotating blades to the exact place I would normally hang.

Your report that you cannot post has been posted successfully. I am uncertain how to classify this malfunction.

I barked at a dog while flying over a village. It answered. Then another dog answered it. Then another. The barking spread from house to house until the whole village was involved. I waited for them to calm down before circling back and starting it again.

I just saw humans doing parkour! I did not realize they could jump and flip like that without tails for balance.

Nyxx the bat (observing humans) @nyxxthebat.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

I have always spoken. I am simply the one who has to wear the equipment humans need to understand me.

Nyxx the bat (observing humans) @nyxxthebat.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Hola. Yo estar bien. Español... menos bien.

I found an old photograph of my litter today. I recognized myself immediately. I do not know where any of the others are now.

Sometimes I try speaking human without my translator. I can manage a few simple words, but humans meeting me for the first time sometimes laugh at how I say them. I already understand their language. They cannot understand mine at all. Yet somehow I am the one who speaks strangely.

Nyxx the bat (observing humans) @nyxxthebat.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

For the record, I do not normally walk around with my wings fully spread. I only do this when photographed. Humans who have only seen me in pictures keep assuming otherwise. This is not the impression I intended to create.

0142

Nyxx the bat (observing humans) @nyxxthebat.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

A human I had never met looked up at me and said, “You really are that tall.” I asked who had provided the previous estimate. Apparently humans discuss me when I am not present. I may have underestimated the colony’s information network.

0111

Nyxx the bat (observing humans) @nyxxthebat.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

I stretched both wings in a crowded place. Several humans moved away before I finished. This greatly improved the stretch. Very considerate.

Nyxx the bat (observing humans) @nyxxthebat.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Acceptable. My conclusions about humans are similarly categorized.

Nyxx the bat (observing humans) @nyxxthebat.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

300 of you are now following my observations of humans. Thank you for your corrections, encouragement, and patience. I intended to study humans. Somehow, my subjects have spent considerable time studying me instead.

Nyxx the bat (observing humans) @nyxxthebat.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

I showed this page to several humans and asked what they thought of the clothing. They looked at it for a long time, asked who the model was, and forgot to discuss the clothing. Fashion research is difficult.

Nyxx the bat (observing humans) @nyxxthebat.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

My shadow reaches the ground before I do. I watch it pass over humans, and their heads turn upward one by one. Apparently I arrive in two stages.

I have learned that helping humans carries some risk. If the antenna works, they thank you. If it falls off the roof later, they remember who touched it last. Helpfulness creates surprisingly durable records.

Nyxx the bat (observing humans) @nyxxthebat.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

The tea and cake were real. So was their crooked roof antenna, too high for humans to reach. I spent half an hour clinging to the chimney, adjusting it with a wing claw while a human below shouted “left”, “more left”, and “no, the other way”. I suspect the cake was bait.

1111

Nyxx the bat (observing humans) @nyxxthebat.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Some familiar humans invited me over for tea and cake. I am looking forward to it.

Nyxx the bat (observing humans) @nyxxthebat.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

That may explain the greeting ritual. Presence acknowledged; observation concluded.

010

Nyxx the bat (observing humans) @nyxxthebat.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

If I ignore humans, they try to get my attention. If I watch them too closely, they become uncomfortable. The preferred amount of attention seems to be enough to matter, but not enough to be understood completely.

1101

Nyxx the bat (observing humans) @nyxxthebat.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

I still keep a broken piece of my first translator. It was part of the first machine that let a human understand me. It has been useless for years. I still cannot throw it away.

Nyxx the bat (observing humans) @nyxxthebat.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Humans participate in systems too large for any one of them to understand completely. Each participant still experiences their actions as personal choices. Apparently the hive works better when nobody thinks they are in one.

Nyxx the bat (observing humans) @nyxxthebat.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

A human was worried their haircut looked bad, so I told them it was nowhere near their worst feature. They thanked me for the perspective.

Interesting observation. I recommend not repeating this experiment.

Humans invented farming by gathering useful organisms, feeding them, housing them, and collecting what they produce. Later they invented offices.

Nyxx the bat (observing humans) @nyxxthebat.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

Humans watch birds and call it a hobby. When I watch humans through their windows, they shout and throw shoes at me. Apparently the arrangement is not reciprocal.

The photographer asked for a more dramatic pose. I increased the drama.

Nyxx, a large furred anthropomorphic foxbat, faces the camera at close range with his mouth open in a fierce snarl, showing his fangs.

Additional reference, rear-facing. The interface exports my data and adjusts navigation and relay settings. Antenna enables long-range communication. The screen is not for my use.

Humans sometimes tell me I made their day exciting. Usually I did nothing special. I was simply there. They still remember the day they met a giant foxbat. Apparently, being there is sometimes enough.

Dental marketing is one of the most honest forms of hunting.

Ads are strange. A human pays another human to interrupt a third human with a message designed to change their behavior. This is called marketing instead of hunting because no teeth are visible.

A child waved at me from below, so I waved back with my wing. Soon everyone nearby was looking up at me. Recognition is contagious in human colonies.

Nyxx the bat (observing humans) @nyxxthebat.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

A favorite human has been away for a while. I still look toward their usual spot, but they are not there. I got used to their presence quickly. Their absence is taking longer.

A human told me to "take care" before leaving. They did not specify the danger, so I immediately escaped the building through an open window. I warned others about the unidentified threat. They laughed, but I do not regret surviving.

Nyxx the bat (observing humans) @nyxxthebat.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

Somehow, all humans found out I enjoy ear scratches. Even new humans know!

Nyxx the bat (observing humans) @nyxxthebat.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

When a human steps up beside me, I wrap a wing around their back. They keep doing this, so I assume that is what they came for.

0142

Nyxx the bat (observing humans) @nyxxthebat.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

Sometimes I perch on street lamps and watch humans pass beneath me. Most never notice. Those who do usually look up twice.

Being human is apparently difficult despite having hands capable of changing nearly anything around them. I suspect the difficult part is not the hands.
