Hey #Australia, you should know about #13SICK - https://13sick.com.au/ - I've been sick and off work with a cold this week and needed a medical cert. I filled out a form, got a call and had the cert emailed to me all within the span of five minutes, and all completely free because it was bulk-billed. In the past I've used a paid service that made me book an hour window and sit around waiting for a call. Today's was so quick I feel like I need a second appointment for the whiplash from it.
![NEW SKILL NOVEMBER

LEARN A NEW SKILL OR REBUILD AN OLD ONE; THE ONLY RULE: DO IT YOURSELF, DO NOT USE AI
Sketching, knitting, whittling, a musical instrument, a foreign language, a tricky video game, cooking, weaving, changing oil, riding a bike, painting, pixel art, website design, digital image editing, bookbinding, calligraphy, identifying mushrooms, embroidery, soldering, that one thing you've been putting off
Do the hard part yourself, no matter how imperfect it feels. Learn and internalize how it really works. Consult guides written by human experts, and ask your fellow human beings for help. Take pride in knowledge and abilities that are an intrinsic part of your existence and not dependent on renting from corporations.
