How To Become a Member of Society of the Fuck Ups
Print or Design Your Own Membership Card today!
Becoming a member of the Society of Fuck Ups is very easy. All you have to do is say, yup, I want to join!
From there, you can make your own membership card if you’d like. Just grab a piece of paper, draw/doodle/write whatever you like and sign your name. It doesn’t even have to be your real name - it can be whatever name you want to go by! I recommend cardstock and making it nice, but scribbling on a napkin is also totally okay.
You can also subscribe to this publication for updates, highly recommended!
If you don’t want to design your own cards, I’ve made ones you can print out. Well, AI made these that you can print out, but that makes it even better because they aren’t the best of quality and that’s all right, we’re fuck-ups, remember?
To help you enjoy the most out of your membership, we’ve also used AI to generate some nice logos you can use for proudly displaying your membership.
If you’d like, grab the logo pack to make your own artwork - some ideas of what you can do with these:
Use as a Press Pack for your own blog/website/print publication.
Print stickers or patches: Drop an SVG into a sticker-printing site or a local print shop to make gear for your laptop, water bottle, or denim jacket.
Make stencils for art: Print a logo out on thick paper, cut out the black lines with an X-Acto knife, and use it to chalk the pavement or paint a canvas bag.
Design custom wallpapers: Slap your favorite design onto a dark background for an easy phone or desktop background to remind you where you stand.
Screenprint your own shirts: Burn a design onto a DIY screen-printing mesh frame and ink it onto old thrifted t-shirts or hoodies. Or, if you have a heat press you could do that!
Hidden drops: Print out a batch of cards or make art, sign the back with a message of uplifting solidarity, and tuck them into old books or leave them on bulletin boards for the next misfit to find. (Just don’t litter!)
Who Society of the Fuck-Ups is For
We accept vulnerability, struggle, and life’s messes, but let this be completely, unapologetically clear: we do not harbor harm. This movement is a safe sanctuary for people who can relate to being fucked up, not a hiding place for monsters.
There is a strict zero-tolerance policy for harm. We protect our members fiercely. No abusers, violent criminals, or predators are allowed under any circumstances—if you harm children, commit acts of violence, practice hate speech or discrimination towards any specific class or abuse others, you are completely barred from this movement and do not belong here, period.
Our baseline code of conduct requires that you treat people with basic respect and do no more damage. S.O.F.U. is a decentralized space where you can bring your true, raw, imperfect self, but the second someone exploits that openness to prey on or threaten the safety of others, you are no longer welcome here.
Show Us Your Cards & Gear
We want to see how you are bringing S.O.F.U. into the real world. If you designed your own custom membership card, scribbled one on a napkin, or used the logo packs to make something wild, take a picture and share it!
Paid subscribers can drop images directly in the comments below or share them in our private community chat space. Don’t be shy, we’re probably going to love what you create!
