2/4/2021 Update: In light of chucklefuck TERF shit with Giggle, I am once again demanding the rest of you liberals educate yourselves on trans issues with Trans Liberation as a starting point. And you better believe more literature on minority struggle is in the pipelines. We're doing some reading this month, libs. Get ready.


AUDIOBOOKS HAVE BEEN RECORDED FOR ALL 8 CHAPTERS. YOU LITERALLY HAVE NO EXCUSE FOR LIBERALISM.

https://hexbear.net/post/48476

Follow that link and you'll find a free download of the book in pdf and comrade @EugeneDebs's epub, comrade @futomes' audiobooks for all eight chapters, and notes and discussions from the book (and don't you dare just read the fucking notes you god damn liberals, read the fucking book or listen to the audiobook).

I spent an entire weekend night scanning the whole damn book so y'all could educate yourselves on the fucking struggles we've been screaming about for the past six months and hardly any of you damn cissie libs participated. Had you participated you'd probably have a better understanding of the struggles we face and we probably wouldn't be in this situation where trans people are heading for this damn hills because you're all shit libs driving us away.

Fucking read it or listen to the audiobooks and I won't ask again. It's all free. The book is only 147 pages - that's 7 pages per night for exactly 3 weeks. I wipe my fucking ass with 7 pages, that's nothing. People put genuine effort into this to ensure you could educate yourselves and you have no reason not to outside of fucking liberalism.

It reads quick. Drop whatever the fuck you're reading and read this. Now. :leslie-shining:

~~Edit: I'll be throwing up a discussion thread at some point in the next week or so for you damn shitlibs to comment on with things you find meaningful so I'll know if you actually gave a shit. I swear to God I better see y'all in the comments.~~

If you're having trouble downloading, there are links in this comment by u/hexaflexagonbear that seem to work.

EPUBs are text with some formatting. Text size, margins, line spacing, word spacing, word expansion, etc. are all things I can change in my ebook reader, and it "reflows" the book to fit my screen and my settings. PDFs are - unfortunately - usually just scans, images. At best with OCR so you can highlight and copy. Btw, in koreader, if you highlight a word in an EPUB you can search dictionaries, or wikipedia - because it's made to read books. Also, they have metadata, like ToC, which can be accessed through a menu at any time, no need to scroll to the top of the book to get to it (and you better hope it's one that you can click, but that's assuming the PDF isn't just a scan)

Huh, cool. lib gen’s blocked on my phone for some reason.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

you can access libgen through TOR pretty easily, what's your phone?

I can do. I don't have to say it. It's fine. It doesn't matter. Just let him call it TOR. "It's Tor". FUCK.

I just known it's better to not struggle on this one. I've done that enough times already. Reddit was enough.

tor isn't an acronym

ok so you're going to need the Orbot app and also the onion browser by mike tigas, once you've got that set up you should be able to access libgen normally, when you find the books you want to make sure you click the Libgen & IPFS & Tor link, and then once you're there click download from Tor mirror

they work on ereaders better, you can format them with like table of contents easier or convert them to other formats easier, they're smaller, etc.
