This image is a humorous 3-by-3 grid titled "On a scale of medieval bat, how are you feeling today?", featuring nine uniquely bizarre and often comical depictions of bats from historical manuscripts. Each square is numbered 1 through 9, showcasing bats with highly stylized, inaccurate, or surprisingly human-like features, including wide-eyed grins, grumpy scowls, and bear-like faces. These illustrations reflect how medieval artists, working from spoken descriptions or folklore rather than direct observation, imagined these nocturnal creatures.

Number 8 looks like a furry cat with wings. I’ll be that.

I "zoomed" their faces and decided that "4" is how I feel most days. I see, in that bat's eyes, confusion and hurt. Unfortunately, anger and anxiety are what other's see in MY face 🫤

I've never seen that on your face, sweetie, and it seems quite out of character too for you to be an angry person. Who is telling you these mean things, honey?

Hogwash. Sure we all have the capacity to get mad sometimes, it's only human, but you have far too much empathy and sensitivity to be one of those people whose bitter anger & resentment are just under the surface or on their face. That's not you, ime & imo. 🤜🤛

No. 3 looks like trump. I‘m No. 7 - the slightly flirty one…

Hah, I quite loved them but during the recent 3 weeks I had 4 visits from bats in my apartment, and that‘s not so funny. Strangely, they have difficulties to find the way out again. Batman, I have expected more from you !

7. That one has a shit-eating grin and looks like it’s up to something.
