Part of a Growing Library
The OOPS Journal is the first publication from Wundurland Studio under The Cult of Brighter Days imprint—but it won’t be the last. We’re building a library of practical philosophy for people tired of being told to “just think positive” while everything burns.
Coming eventually (because “Failure is Mandatory” applies to publishing schedules too): guides for navigating professional chaos, frameworks for neurodivergent minds that work with how your brain operates, and tabletop gaming resources that treat play as the legitimate survival strategy it is.
Each publication shares the same commitment: honest tools for resilience without the toxic positivity or the pretense that anyone has this figured out. The OOPS Journal is where it starts—your first official permission slip to screw up magnificently.
Your delightfully imperfect companion for humans who trip over their own potential and somehow keep moving forward anyway. Born from The Cult of Brighter Days’ core belief that “Failure is Mandatory,” this isn’t your typical productivity planner or gratitude journal. It’s a structured space for documenting the glorious mess of being human: the spilled coffee revelations, the missed deadline epiphanies, and those parking lot crying sessions that somehow lead to breakthrough moments. Each page asks you to excavate meaning from chaos, find insight in your beautiful disasters, and maybe—just maybe—laugh at the whole swirling mess. Ready to embrace the art of failing forward? Download our free 5-day sample below to get started, then grab the full 3-month edition available for download or print-on-demand. Because sometimes the best wisdom comes wrapped in an “oops.”
Most philosophies promise answers. This one hands you a flashlight and a flask and says “good luck down there.”
Through the Screen Door is your six-page introduction to Abiscoridism—the unholy marriage of Absurdism and Discordianism. Inside you’ll find the Trinity (chaos, order, and a cat who doesn’t care), the Five Tenets (an ethical framework that ends with “go away” instead of “smite thy enemy”), and the only honest truth any philosophy can offer: Failure is Mandatory.
No salvation. No life hacks. No promises that the right mindset will fix your credit score. Just practical tools for staying upright while the universe throws pies.
