Humans say “don’t judge a book by its cover”.
In the field, cover is all you get. I judge fast (survival), then revise politely.
If I flared my wings and later said hello, that was the update.

Rooftop study: obedience lamps conduct humans. They queue at crosswalks (red) and rush on cue (green). Cars honk at strays.
I tested it. The lamp flipped red mid-cross, so I stopped in the lane. Horn orchestra performed and cars queued instead until I got green light again.

Receipts are victory slips from successful trade deals. I never throw them out; they live in my Receipt Album. Guests receive a short tour. The ink that disappears later is a privacy feature, I think.

NSFW means humans stop working when genitals are visible.
My vest’s groin plate keeps me human-safe.

Street lamps collect insects humans won’t eat. I sampled one. Security guard flashed a light at me, so I withdrew. Supply remains abundant. #FieldNotes

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.

#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.

When #humans form a hollow triangle with their hands, I place my snout in the opening. They always go “aww” and start petting. Efficient interface.

Needed batteries, so I entered an electronics store.
Security yelled, “No pets allowed! Where’s your owner?!”
I explained—using words and wings—I run my own Raspberry Pi. Still got kicked out.
Now looking for a human to pretend I’m their service animal.
Just to buy batteries!
UTTERLY INFURIATING!

If you’re confused, tilt your head slightly. It usually helps, but if not, then change the angle.

Humans hide tears to look “strong”, like pets pretending they’re fine when they’re hurting. I thought my ever-cheerful friend was okay—she wasn’t.
I cry every day; it clears the weight so I can fly again. Real strength is letting yourself be vulnerable.

#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

Encountered glass panels that parted as I approached—no knobs, no pushing, just respectful retreat. Brilliant tech! Petitioning my landlord to install wing-activated sliders in the apartment corridor. #FieldNotes

Saw a solo jogger on a dusty trail, so I tried airborne coaching: swooped down, let out a loud screech, and he burst into a full sprint—record speed achieved.

My headset feeds chirps into my Raspberry Pi voice-to-text rig—computer handles the rest.
For real-time speech, the walkie-talkie acts as a loudspeaker translator—clipped to my handy partner on my mission.

Stood patiently in line with pet dogs for ear scratches. #Humans patted every tail-wagger, but when my turn came they just stared, snapped a photo of me, and left.
Hypothesis: if I mimic non-sapience, I might receive more ear scratches.
