Seen elsewhere. Not my photo. Don't handle bats.
"Hello I'm a bat...
I don't suck your blood and I won't get tangled in your hair.
If I happen to enter your house, please don't hit me with bats or squash me out; it hurts a lot and on such occasions I'm very scared. It was an accident and I didn't mean to scare you.
If I land, I may not be able to get up and I need your help. Just grab a towel and pull me out carefully. I'll fly right away, I promise.
I feed on mosquitoes and many other insects.
Our houses are being demolished to build other buildings and we still have a few places to go. So if I'm flying in your space, turn off the lights and leave the outside light on with the door open, I'll be out shortly."

Compilation of Detox Doodles!

This me trying to replace the urge to scroll with the habit of sketching daily!

Gotta love cows, opossums (oops misspelled), seals, owls, raccoons (trash pandas) and elephant shrews!

Beneath a Mona Lisa smile you’re splayed
for pinning. I recall the callipered
shadow of Vitruvian Man, from caverns
and hollowed trees to this small page…

RENAISSANCE BAT

(From a watercolour, circa 1790, Asian Lesser False
Vampire)

Beneath a Mona Lisa smile you’re splayed
for pinning. I recall the callipered
shadow of Vitruvian Man, from caverns
and hollowed trees to this small page.
Notice the artist’s worship of your thumb-claws
– they hold up sails of wings that can make
the air water for swimming in. Deep time
echoes in those downy caves of ears.
We drew pyramids and squares, you listened,
carried the pox for fifty million years,
ate our locust plagues and held within
your matchstick bones what’s near forgotten:
that God’s an insectivorous vertebrate
thirty-four grammes in weight.

Sorry I haven’t been around much.

I got back from camping last week and immediately jumped in to take on some bat rehab fosters. Currently taking care of four #bats (three different species).

😅 And there’s a cold front rolling in which means we’ll probably get some additional cases in.

This lil muppet says hi:

In dusk, from in among the walnut tree
and its bearing down upon the damaskina,
although we never see the bat unwrap
like a sticky sweet from the paper…

THE BAT
W. N. Herbert

In dusk, from in among the walnut tree
and its bearing down upon the damaskina,
although we never see the bat unwrap
like a sticky sweet from the paper

of suddenly frictionless voiceless wings,
it begins to bi-, to trilocate, to be
anywhere at once in air's old film, wavering
with half-seen insects – it's in the field,

the garden, even underneath the canopy
of vineleaves that, by day, shades the little patio.
We watch the sky a dropping sun's turned gray
after an hour of lemon, mango, watermelon –

though this still lets some light be gleaned
through a wing like a sallow, puffed-out cheek,
a torch shone through a bloodless hand,
but gone in the second you understand

as though showing how exactly we must leave
each day – and do – a gathering of senses, sights
too small or intricate to count as insight,
too brief to form what we'd call belief.

The bat, that master of departures, is lost
to night, forgetting as it misses each leaf
and every branch: a figure of omnesia,
the way the world desires to be the past.

✨ Bonjour à tous !
Aujourd'hui une illustration que j'ai pris beaucoup de plaisir à réaliser... Un Grand rhinolophe !
✨ Les rhinolophidés émettent des ultrasons par le nez, contrairement aux autres espèces de chiroptères. Leurs oreilles, à la différence des autres sont aussi dépourvues de tragus !
✨ Il s'agit ici du plus grand rhinolophe d'Europe, avec une envergure d'environ 35/40 cm. Il se nourrit principalement de papillons de nuit et de coléoptères..
✨ Saviez-vous qu'il pouvait vivre environ 30 ans ?
.

Defined: Psychological warfare (PSYWAR), or the basic aspects of modern psychological operations (PSYOPs), has been known by many other names or terms, including Military Information Support Operations (MISO), political warfare, "winning hearts and minds", and propaganda.[1][2] The term is used "to denote any action which is practiced mainly by psychological methods with the aim of evoking a planned psychological reaction in other people".[3]

Folks it is now about an hour until #MONSTERDON the weekly monster movie watch party! Best set up a hashtag filter if you want to avoid it.

If you'd like to join in, this week we're continuing our October of Vincent Price movies with THE BAT (1959), a murder mystery featuring money, criminals, and yes, you guessed it, bats!

The flick's available free with ads over on Tubi: https://tubitv.com/movies/351000/the-bat

Or you can download from Archive.org over here: https://archive.org/details/The_Bat.mpeg

In fact, the movie is solidly in the public domain, so you can actually watch it on Wikipedia if you want: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bat_(1959_film)

Any way you slice it, just hit play at the top of the hour and toot along! See you there!
