The entire "free speech on campus" moral panic was manufactured to blackmail us into making space in intellectual life for bigots and charlatans who couldn't get there on their own merits. Its a DEI scheme for fascism. Congratulations to everyone who took it at face value.

It’s hating trans people or it’s nothing, apparently. And again, it’s all about people making threats against Rowling on Twitter. Which is awful. But so are the hourly threats to trans people who exist online, their defenders, all queer people, all other minorities… deadline.com/2025/09/jk-r...

Am struggling with the idea that people like me somehow don't understand the legitimate concerns of people who attended the Tommy Robinson march. I literally had National Front fliers through my letterbox in my childhood in Greater London and I went to school and university with actual fascists.

Unstable Orbits is back up to #11 in Best Sellers in Gay Fiction for Young Adults (in the UK, at least). The mysterious Amazon algorithm, moving pieces on its infinite snakes and ladders board. Of the current top 50, I've read 17 (including my own). Still so surreal to be on the list. 📚👀🌈📚💙📚

I’m trying something new: Facebook ads. They’ll be running in the UK for a month. Three separate creatives for Unstable Orbits, pointing to Amazon - let’s see which one is most popular, and if I get any sales from them. 📚👀🌈📚💙📚

Facebook showed me one of my own ads this morning, so they’re enabled now! I must resist the temptation to infer anything from almost no data.

I’m going to try out some Facebook advertising for Unstable Orbits for a couple of weeks. No idea what’ll happen, but it’ll provide some data to stare at.

Unstable Orbits takes place in the school year 2024-25: it's so contemporary, scenes in the book take place literally today and tomorrow. As I write, we're 236 words into the final scene of chapter 16: it's the day before the A-level results. Nate's been fretting. 📚👀🌈📚💙📚 anthonycamber.com

Here's a screenshot of the spreadsheet I've built to track the Unstable Orbits audiobook. The description column is a reminder for me of the scene - taken from Scrivener, along with word counts. R=recorded, E=edited. The WC, RE, and End TS columns drive everything.

That this is happening is not in the least surprising (we all predicted it), but what’s most disgusting is GC/TERF women denying the direct lived experiences of other women as “scaremongering”. Truly, transphobia breaks your brain. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

I have reached the "I should really make a spreadsheet" phase of audiobook production. I have made a spreadsheet.

Unstable Orbits audiobook update: many experiments and trials, playing with several different apps for recording and editing. I'm getting the hang of it and making some real progress now (as opposed to real faffing). I'm used to my voice now, which helps significantly.

Watched Fantastic Four. Loved it, especially the retro-future design. Was not expecting <spoilery> from The <Spoiler> to be playing <Spoiler>. That is all.
