Thank you. I had never dreamt that I would ever reach the ranks of the quoted posters.

ICE trans catchers finding me through hexbear because of an ebook referencing a translation of an obscure collection of texts by a Danish communist pooh-wtf was in fact on my bingo card, shit (for reals though it was a phenomenal effort post then and it's even better now)

Thank you. At some point in time I might translate the chapter arguing why Danish courts in the 1960's were class courts. The text is dated but it still has some good points.

If you do I might take all three chapters and combine them together to one ebook and call it "Excerpts from The Good Doctor"

The Hexbear Review of Books is the vanguard of literary criticism. If they give a good review, it must be added to the ebook.

At first I thought someone stole something from us and put it on Amazon but this is actually pretty cool :D

[–] Edie@hexbear.net 23 points 3 days ago

Oh no, don't worry, it's just me (and I would never put it on Amazon)

I don't like it. We're going to get more feds now.

I might make an ebook of this other chapter from the same book next

[–] SevenSkalls@hexbear.net 11 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

No way. That's amazing. You should be proud @SoyViking@hexbear.net.
