Get any big feelings out of your system and onto the page with this adorable journal. Perfectly suited for school, work, or home, this journal features smooth, lined pages and two sticker sheets with artwork of the iconic Dumpster Fire. Use this journal to record your most nihilistic inner monologues, list your grievances, or chronicle the burning hellscape of contemporary life—then get back to rising to the occasion.

Anti-Affirmations for Your Dumpster Fire Life

This deck of 52 cards will remind you that there is a light at the end of the tunnel… but it's a Dumpster Fire! These anti-affirmations are packaged in a sturdy, keepsake box modeled after the iconic and adorable Dumpster Fire. This papercraft Dumpster Fire contains 52 displayable anti-affirmation cards and serves as a testament to the universal truth that inner peace is a myth and the void awaits us all. Each card features a humorous one-liner, advice that you probably shouldn't follow, or a message that's actually pretty deep if you really think about it:

• Live. Laugh. Combust.
• Be a possum: Play dead and do nothing.
• A dumpster without dents is a dumpster without stories to tell.

For each week of the year, draw a card from its compartment. Then, flip open the Dumpster Fire's lid, watch the flame "ignite" as it pops up, and place the card in its display slot. Each card can inspire a chaotic morning meditation, offer support during a mid-week spiral, or provide nihilistic comfort on a weekend. Full of relatable humor, this anti-affirmation deck will be there for you whenever life feels like it's going up in flames.
