I judge how difficult a day has been by how many times I've caught myself having the Bat Fantasy

I now wonder if this could be a reason why this species was the go-to victims whenever Kenneth Oppel/the writers of the cartoon series needed a bat to get chewed on/munched.
Just, a tangential connection in their minds between adorable cinnamon puffball bats and frosted cinnamon timbits/donuts.
after accidentally on purpose scoundrelposting for like 7 hours straight yesterday i feel like it's vital to remind the class that despite all of their horrors and drama they ARE destined to turn into this thing.
they are 3 inches big. they have goofy little eyes. they prey heavily on moths. their lifespan is 2 years long and they are extremely vulnerable to death by wind turbine. just something to keep in mind here

Last night on our way home from performing in a play, my housemates and I noticed this sleepy little red bat on a city windowsill.
Today we came back to the theater to perform the Sunday matinee and she was on the ground. :(
I scooped her up in a shirt and put her back on the windowsill (never touch a bat with your bare hands). She was still there after the show so now we are taking her to the wildlife rehabber.
Short little video of an eastern red bat!! : ) So fluffy and cute!!
From jellybean to (frosted) cinnamon bread loaf...
