I've been writing more again recently and I've been rereading some of my old stuff and I kinda wanna share some of it. But first,
I'd also have to come up with a tag for them so they're all searchable (to the extent that you can search tags on tumblr)
Here's a cute bat for your time
#poll#writing#this is more directed at people who at least somewhat regularly interact with me btw#just bc like#if you don't then#you'll probably never see any work that i post anyway#i'll probably be rbing this throughout the day#also btw that's a mexican free-tailed bat#they have the fastest flight of any mammal and can keep up with a peregrine falcon#(considering a peregrine falcon's flight speed not their diving speed)#and they make up the largest colony of mammals!#the colony at bracken cave in san antonio tx is home to around 15-20 million mexican free-tailed bats depending on the year#(they're a migratory species)#but if you want a cool bat viewing experience then there's another cave two hours west in a town called concan#it's the second biggest colony with 10-15 million per year and you can get way closer to the bats#(still regulated ofc) (but a lot closer) (seriously like you can smell the guano) (which doesn't smell as bad as you'd think)#i'd advise going in late august to account for both weather and when the bats will be there#i'm just always gonna be partial to the frio bat flight in concan bc i went to it a lot growing up#it's what sparked and maintained my love of bats <3#it's also where i got my url!! their hold music is the song linked in my bio it's great i love it sm#ok i need to shut up bc i could literally talk about bats and this cave all day
