I just shipped a real release of my bible-reader project.
It’s a terminal-first Python tool for daily Bible reading. It can import compatible WorldBiblePlans EPUBs, split them into day-by-day files, extract scripture-only readings, and track progress through the plan.
I also just added a changelog, automated GitHub releases, a license, contribution guidelines, and issue/PR templates, so it’s starting to feel like a real open-source project instead of just “script in a repo.” 😄
God has a mission for you and me... and it's worth guarding our focus on it. https://youtube.com/live/rZurEhHf4gs
I was chatting with ChatGPT and suggested that the Bible read like Ayn Rand. The response:

That’s unkind to Ayn Rand. At least she knew she was writing fan fiction for her own temperament. If it’s literature, it’s literature in the same way a minutes-of-meeting document is prose.

Just discovered an incredible resource for accessible Bible study: World Bible Plans
As a totally blind, autistic, chronically ill Christian, finding tools that are both spiritually rich and screen‑reader friendly isn't easy. Their EPUB plans (like the World English Bible with David Guzik's commentary) have proper headings for navigation, built-in cross-references, and formatting that makes daily devotions possible without frustration.
I don't know if all their plans are accessible by default, so I suggest mentioning in the “additional requests” box that you're blind and need screen‑reader friendly formatting. That's what I did, and the result was excellent.
Also note that if you choose a Bible version that isn't in the public domain, the plan will only give you a guide showing which verses to read, not the full text.
If you've struggled with inaccessible study tools, this might be a game‑changer.

How's everyone doing tonight?
I slept most of the day because of pain from #Fibromyalgia and #RheumatoidArthritis, so now I'll probably be up all night. I'm going to try and get some studying done even though my hands hurt. Really hoping the compression gloves I ordered come in soon.
Since college didn’t work out, I've been building my own self-paced curriculum:
Tonight I'm deciding whether to focus on Christian Leaders coursework, coding, or Braille proofreading.
Tomorrow's my 34th birthday. My mom’s taking me out to eat, and later we're visiting a new ocularist to see about prosthetic eyes. My current ones no longer fit and cause pain, so they'll likely need to start me with conformers first. I'm dreading that part, but it’s time. I haven't been refitted for new ones since I was 16, a few months after a surgery to remove my extremely painful right eye.
