Negative Capabilty

Zines. Zines. Zines. A Love Letter Finally Delivered. A Substack Note turned into a global collaboration.

I am happy to announce that the global zine project I wrote something for is finally out, pay what you like (even $0 if you are broke). My son also wrote something and tbh, I like his piece better than mine. #zines #art #slart

I met my wife on dial-up AOL and I am shocked it was still around.

That’s where old people go to relive their rave days. #underworld

I saved a large spotted salamander from the pool today. I thought it was dead but after a minute on the ground, he walked away. #salamander

Speaking of books, here’s a quote from my son who is 11. “Here’s a weird fact: reading a book is staring at a dirty dead tree and hallucinating.” #books #reading

I have no idea how most of my followers found me but let’s call it kismet.

Normal people exist, but you aren’t one of them or you wouldn’t be reading this

I’m excited to announce that we finally got a squirrel to put her head inside the gnome face and got some pictures.

I guess we are done with snow for a while.

Now if we can just get him to face the camera. #squirrel

I just want to thank all of you for not including me on a group text. #nothanks

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

The sky was pink tonight. Is this a good omen?

Some days when I visit my old home in NYC I miss the little things.

I have been making Negative Capability since 1998 and a new issue is coming this year. #zines

This is the shortest version of the story, chopped into pieces for an international zine by SLART. The full piece will appear in Negative Capabilty #6, coming 2025. Srsly, you should quit.

I listen to this song almost every day and had no idea what they looked like. Just assumed they were French. Ceci n'est pas un cliché.

I was on a game show called Idiot Savants on MTV in 1997 and she was the comic that warmed up the crowd. She is hilarious.

Why can’t I have three money and no kids?

Not to jinx it but so far I am immortal.

It’s been nice and cold for a while now.

My son got me Trevor Noah’s Born a Crime and I’ll read that next. I finished his other gift, a graphic novel called Invincible.

I’m really going to try to make this my platform of choice. Sorry, Friendster. #oldaf

I deleted my Twitter and Threads. Next up, less meta, more indie. #fuckelmo

It’s hard to be optimistic rn.

I deleted the Twitter app but will probably just cyber squat my name so no one else can take it. Fuck Zuck and Elmo. #walkaway

@hillmurray.bsky.social congrats on the new TV show! Can’t wait to see it.

Here is something funny I wrote for my zine. It’s about what an asshole Rick Springfield is. You should read it. negcap.com/negcap-5/fuc... #fuckrickspringfield #onehitwonder #zines
