Some days, even with everything going on being broken and on fire, there might be a day where things feel ok.
An EXTREMELY selfish Kickstarter in that I'm just making the editions of these books that I've always wanted—cannot put into words how much love and care we've poured into every aspect this project!📚🩵 ...and it's no accident that @gilespink.bsky.social now has a writing credit on the Book of D'ni 👀
Prepare for an adventure that spans Ages with a new ultra-deluxe hardcover collection of the Myst novel trilogy - available for the first time in nearly three decades. Coming soon to Kickstarter! https://cyan.com/ks/trilogygow/soc0908
It’s my first day of school at the big new (actually very old) university and it’s also my wedding anniversary. On the way out the door just now my husband called out “have a good day at school!” Yall. I like him a lot.
Honestly now would be an amazing time for all of us to donate what we can to her flagship charity, The Imagination Library. imaginationlibrary.com
Dolly Parton's Imagination Library | USA, UK, IE, CA, AU
Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is a book gifting program that mails free books to children from birth until they begin school in participating areas.

Almost every single student who has found me this week wants to talk about AI. A couple reflections. One student has taken three AI courses in philosophy, health sciences and comm. They’re basically the same class. As it turns out, it doesn’t take a lot of classes to “learn” ai.
This is why I get so annoyed with university admins who insist we must teach AI or our students will be left behind. Fine, then require one class and leave the rest of us alone. (After about two weeks in the class, they’ll be like, “shit, what do we do now?” but that’s not my problem.)
The idea of AI “hallucinating” is one I wish I’d had!
My folks are downsizing and I was so happy to take a milk crate of vinyl off their hands. We used to listen to this one a lot when I was a kid and it still holds up. 1980 was just a couple of years ago, right?
Garlic would very much like to be in her own house now, please. She’s tired of this evacuation nonsense.
With @cyan.com's permission, I spilled some secrets about the recently shelved MYST game codenamed ANGLERFISH after seeing the demo during my reporting for @wired.com. www.thefrontlist.org/p/anglerfish...
I've seen the lost 'Myst' game—and we're all losers (for now)
During a demo, the creators revealed new secrets about 'Anglerfish' (now on ice) and 'Mudfish' (now in development).

Reading this during wildfire evacuation is harrowing and surreal.

A big eff you to the drone operators in the Spokane fires area. 26 incidents yesterday interfered with air support. #spokanefires
Let’s hope tomorrow is better than today was. Running from a fire is an adventure that I would very much like to be over.
I made Among Us TV show paintings that you can have! They're right here: www.owendennis.com/store Please enjoy!
Me and @angelente.bsky.social: “Hey kiddo, be careful when you get near the water not to let the water get in your shoes.” Literally 1 minute later:
So…. We made a thing.
Over a year ago, we built a prototype for a new Myst Universe game meant for publisher eyes only. This project is NOT in active development, but we're proud of the work the team did, and wanted to share it with you all. Presenting: Project Anglerfish. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvNGt02yZNc
You guys, I got to play this prototype and the world doesn’t even know what it’s missing.

I fear the World Cup attendees returning to their countries with ranch dressing is the 21st century equivalent of bringing in an invasive species.
My friend: And over here are my very expensive Stephen King first editions. Me: Oh cool. I’ve got some first editions, too. My friend? Oh? You collect books? Me: No, I’m just old. I bought them at B. Dalton the first time around.
I went to my little rural library branch and this was in the new releases shelf. When I brought it up, my favorite librarian said she was reading it too. Can’t wait to dig in. @kiricallaghan.com
The wait is over. Myst & Riven are NOW AVAILABLE on PS5, PS VR2, and Xbox Series X|S! https://cyan.com/2026/05/19/myst-and-riven-console-launch/
