Alex @buknerd.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I've been wearing these clothes for 24 hours at least. Another 8hrs of travel to go. Thiiis close to buying cheesy GERMANY sweats and a tshirt 101
Alex @buknerd.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Gosh dark it. The one time I don't have a window seat and my flight flies directly over/past Cairo?! 000
Alex @buknerd.bsky.social · 15/09/2026What do I do with these last thousand rupees cash? Do I buy yet another little elephant figurine? I'm gonna buy yet another little elephant figurine 010
Alex @buknerd.bsky.social · 15/09/2026My return trip from Chennai is going to be 21 hours. A significant improvement from the 28 hours on the way here 000
Alex @buknerd.bsky.social · 15/09/2026You can tell I'm excited to go home because I'm at the airport like 3hrs before the desk to check my bag even opens 😅 010
Alex @buknerd.bsky.social · 15/09/2026I always get such bad pre travel anxiety. I love to fly. But until I'm through check in and security and to my gate I'm a nervous wreck. 010
Alex @buknerd.bsky.social · 15/09/2026I get to go home todayyyyy (Technically my flight doesn't leave till 2am tomorrow but still) 🎉 020
Alex @buknerd.bsky.social · 14/09/2026I don't think "I want to quit my job and go live in the country doing farming or something" is the impact my boss was hoping this business trip would have on me. 020
Alex @buknerd.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Two full weeks was like 3 days too long to book this trip for. I'm very ready for it to be Wednesday so I can go home 120
Alex @buknerd.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Starting to notice some looks here in Chennai that are less curious surprised and more fear surprised. I think my gender is confusing people. 000
Alex @buknerd.bsky.social · 09/09/2026My purple hair is causing a stir everywhere I go in Chennai 😂 011
Alex @buknerd.bsky.social · 06/09/2026It's ever more challenging to explain certain reactions I have, especially when I get so overwhelmed I burst into tears, with just "I have a thing" 010
Alex @buknerd.bsky.social · 06/09/2026I think I'm basically at the point where NOT having been officially assessed for/diagnosed with autism is more of a problem than the risks of stigma if I do. 100
Alex @buknerd.bsky.social · 05/09/2026I rarely post pics anymore but look at my children at boarding while I'm away 270
Alex @buknerd.bsky.social · 05/09/2026I hate that I get overwhelmed so quickly by loud noise and flashing lights. It's so embarrassing 100
Alex @buknerd.bsky.social · 04/09/2026They're playing Missy and Celine back to back at this bar. I live here how. 010
Alex @buknerd.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Why did I have to travel all the way to Chennai to learn about the magic that is a Sizzling Brownie?? 000
Alex @buknerd.bsky.social · 02/09/2026I've only been here a day and I'm already homesick. It's the jetlag I'm sure. Everyone is so kind. And getting to meet coworkers in person is amazing for. But Chennai makes me really sad in a way I don't think I was prepared for. 120
Alex @buknerd.bsky.social · 02/09/2026I will not touch the street dogs. But I will stare at every street dog. 000
Alex @buknerd.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Also I had to go back through security at Mumbai and they do separate men and women security lines there. I went by my passport and got in the women's line. the lady operating it stopped me and double checked my passport gender marker before she let me enter. I am tired 000
Alex @buknerd.bsky.social · 01/09/2026I'll feel better when I'm at my hotel and showered and maybe have had a nap. But right now I'm regretting not spending more (of work's) money on flights with only one layover. 010
Alex @buknerd.bsky.social · 01/09/2026OK 28 hours worth of travel time is too much travel time. Technically I'm not at 28 yet. I have one more flight. 020
Alex @buknerd.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Gay flight attendants are the best flight attendants. No contest. 010
Alex @buknerd.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Y'all. When they say the business class seat can lie all the way flat they mean All The Way Flat. Why the heckin heck does economy exist if this is a possible way to furnish airplanes? Money. The answer is money. But still!! 140
Alex @buknerd.bsky.social · 31/08/2026I was not prepared for the business class "pod" on this international flight omg. What even is my life 020
Alex @buknerd.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Detroit Metro airport, you are surprisingly and delightfully full of queer women today. 000
Alex @buknerd.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Every time someone quotes or references HF like this I go a little crazy. Omg 080
Alex @buknerd.bsky.social · 31/08/2026I'm trying an app called timeshifter to help me with the time difference between Detroit and Chennai. I've followed all the instructions the last two days but now that I'm at the airport I am craving a Dr pepper like a fiend and it says no caffeine 😕 000
Alex @buknerd.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Dropped the dogs off at boarding this morning. The house is very quiet. 000
Alex @buknerd.bsky.social · 27/08/2026I leave for India on Monday. The pre travel anxiety has fully set in. My bravado is tissue paper. 010

Alex @buknerd.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Yours sounds amazing. I'd like that plus all the pets I've ever had. 110
Alex @buknerd.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Before when I didn't understand what was happening or why I'd just fake it (I've gotten very good at that over the years). But it's nice to be able to ask claude or gpt to explain it to me. Its less brainpower to mask when I don't also have to fake understanding. 000
Alex @buknerd.bsky.social · 20/08/2026While I continue to be fully against using AI for artistic work and for replacing humans, it has really helped me to be able to have a non judgemental thing I can ask all the stupid questions I have day to day about how things work. 100
Alex @buknerd.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Someone I had an in person one on one with yesterday tested positive for covid last night. I leave for India in a week and a half. I better not have caught it. I'd be so pissed. 000
Alex @buknerd.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Went to see The Wrong Girls yesterday and it was delightful. 010
Alex @buknerd.bsky.social · 04/08/2026I'm digging a hole in my garden. Not sure what it's going to be. I just wanted to dig a hole so I'm digging a hole. Sometimes you just gotta dig a hole first and figure out the reason later. 050
Alex @buknerd.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Ugh, same. Mine also will tell me "this is out of stock but we'll fill it as soon as we get more" then NOT fill it when they get more 010
Alex @buknerd.bsky.social · 19/07/2026@beezygrey.bsky.social Belated happy birthday! I hope you had a day as wonderful as you are. 010
Alex @buknerd.bsky.social · 19/07/2026I own a copy of this and it's great. Lovely detail on the map itself, and a surprisingly challenging puzzle. 010
Alex @buknerd.bsky.social · 17/07/2026This Canadian wildfire smog is insanity. Work provided masks for INSIDE the office today. I have to put one on to let the dogs in and out. 010
