This was a work of art, a true masterpiece, and exactly the niche content I desire.

Personally, as someone who fought to stay off the prairie and never wear another pioneer dress again (ex-mo here) I think I’ve earned living out my leather daddy Bladerunner-meets-Dune end of days.

See you on Arrakis-- I’ll be the one surfing a sandworm, wailing desert chants 🏄

Meet you at the trash hole in 20, I’ll bring the used Keurig pods and we can suck on ‘em to get a sweet caffeine rush before watching our new favorite show, Pigeons vs. Cockroaches.

We’re keeping warm at the trash hole by burning those trad wife dresses. Egg aprons can be used to keep your head warm though.

Not a week goes by that I don’t utter the phrase “come the apocalypse.. XYZ”

The XYZ typically involves

1.where do any former Navy Seals I know 🦭 live

2. Secret gate codes to ranches in remote locations

3. Special skills (like 🧗 breath-holding, really skilled riding

4. Very nice horses to use for my escape

5. Any # of layers.. shearling, utility jackets w pockets

6. Waterproof things (boots. Hats. SNOWpants

7. Fire building skills & fishing

8. Singing. Campfire songs. Madrigals.

9. Needles, syringes, all kinds of prescription meds & K/tape

So I guess some mash up of the Canterbury tales & some spooky Ishiguro story where my survival becomes the primary objective ..

Oddly, the fashion part doesn’t usually fit into the “xyz” part of it.. 🤣🤣💕

hahaha debo how dare you think of all the actual ways you could survive the Armageddon and not consider bringing your beloved Agnes b jacket. I’m off to befriend some navy seals while holding my breath.

Oh fully the lavender jacket is coming.. it is SO well worn that the faux fur looks like a child’s “lovey”

Yes.. I left that off the list .. as part of our prep will involve DISGUISes 😘😘😘

Enjoyed this! A bit random but beginning of Covid, my husband and I would discuss what we would pack if a zombie apocalypse hit. The only thing that I definitely wanted to pack was Blundstone boots because they seem so practical but none of my cute girly dresses would make the cut! And I’d put everything into a very sturdy Tom Bihn backpack because it seems the only thing sturdy enough to run away and survive possible zombie attacks 😂 You know what.. this discussion nicely segues into thoughts about clothing durability, buy it for life, etc. The only clothes I want for zombie apocalypse are things that I know would last and last! Ain’t no body got time to shop for new boots when you might be eaten alive.

I think the key to our survival is teaming up and specializing. I will trade you my very ill-advised floral skirt (I still have nightmares about the Gunne Sax dresses of my confused adolescence) for your cargo pants (which I was so excited to see come back I nearly swooned). The other tank girls and I will defend the fort while the sister wives make bread and preserves and the burning trash peeps will be in charge of game nights and foraging for mind-altering substances. We might have to fight off occasional invaders from The Amazon (I'm sorry, those folks don't look like any fun so let them form their own clan 😂), but I'm confident we'll triumph.

Dying laughing. this plan is absolutely genius. anyone that can pull off cargo pants should absolutely be pushed to the most upper echelon of society - baking bread for my tank girls and trash family dinners is something I could actually get down with.
