Someone please start up a peer reviewed Journal of We Were So Wrong In Science (abbreviation: J. Wrong) so people can publish their work when it doesn't pan out. Preferably in multiple fields.

Because when the hypothesis is wrong we learn things and they're important like how the shit doesn't work.

Imagine a whole family of journals called We Were So Wrong In: Field and then the much anticipated We Were So Wrong In Science Annual which collects and reprints the best failures of the year with updates on where those failures led.

Wrongest team to lead to a discovery of gets the Innovators In Trying Again When You're Wrong Award which comes with a hilarious trophy inspired by the Nailed It! trophy and a nice piece of funding.

So anyway that's another one of my "I just won the billion dollar Powerball" projects.

I would like this and also unlimited funds for attempting to replicate other people's research (the more boring, the better). Journal of Are You Sure.

If I ever win the billion dollar powerball I will ALSO fund the Journal Of Are You Sure About: Field? and the Journal Of Are You Sure About That? Annual (abbreviation: J. U. Sure?)

an author i love just tweeted about how “big joy and small joy are the same” and how she was just as content the other night eating chocolate and cuddling her dog as she was on her Big Trip to new york and honestly. i think that’s it. this morning i was listening to an audiobook while baking shortbread in my joggers and i realised i really didn’t care what Big Things happened in my future as long as i could keep baking and reading at the weekend and maybe that is the kind of bar we have to set to guard ourselves against disappointment. just appreciate and cherish the mundane stuff and see everything else as a bonus.

found it - she was replying to this thread that starts “unpopular opinion: i don’t think your life has to have a purpose, or you a grand ambition; i think it’s okay to just wander through life finding interesting things until you die” and i for one think that’s fucking brilliant
