If you are managing people (e.g. PI, HoD, etc) the best thing you can do at this time of year is actively help your people let go of false end of the calendar year urgency.
Can that wait until January? Say so. Out loud.
They can decide what to do but relieve the pressure to do it because of you

My Day 8 pick for #LibFaves25 is THERE IS NO PLACE FOR US by Brian Goldstone which makes the saying that the average person is way closer to being homeless than a becoming a billionaire more concrete. A sort of sequel to EVICTED by Matthew Desmond. #BookSky @prhlibrary.bsky.social

This is why I like efforts like NPR’s Books We Love and #LibFaves25 because they lead me to discover less publicized titles.
This is a good reminder for those of us making best of lists that if yours looks like everyone else's, it's a sign that you need to read more widely. There is so much great work that often goes unnoticed because it doesn't get a splashy marketing campaign.
My condolences to writers and artists who have done great work but have cracked few (or no) year-end lists.
A first-world problem, to be sure, but I know how much that stings. Rest assured, you all did great and deserved better.

Each semester I go in my classroom and I try to figure out what we would use to block the doors, if it would be safe to crawl out the windows, where we could hide if there was a mass shooter in campus. It’s such an indictment of this country how we have normalized these preventable tragedies.

The other two books @noethematt.bsky.social mentioned as essentials are on my bookshelf so I perked up when he mentioned this one.
#Libfaves25 Day 2:
MAKING NONFICTION COMICS by Shay Mirk and Eleri Harris
This belongs on your essentials shelf right next to classics like Understanding Comics (McCloud) or Syllabus and Making Comics (Barry)

Wow: Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention (named for Holocaust survivor Raphael Lemkin, who coined term "genocide") calls Clinton's remarks "genocide denial."
"Young people in the US are not stupid or gullible. They simply reject genocide – something the Secretary might consider doing as well."

![Statement on Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s Genocide Denial at the Israel Hayom Summit
December 9, 2025
The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention and Human Security feels called to point out that former Secretary of State Hilary Clinton’s recent remarks at the Israel Hayom Summit on 2 December amount to outright genocide denial.
During her remarks, the Secretary correctly noted that the recent deterioration of Israel’s standing among U.S. voters is not a “Republican versus Democrat kind of divide” but rather a generational one. Nevertheless, she incorrectly diagnosed the reasons for the shift as a matter purely of optics, stating that “Israel [has] the worst PR of any group” and accusing social media, particularly TikTok, of presenting “pure propaganda” that American youth are uncritically ingesting.
Secretary Clinton’s framing is not at all an accurate reflection of why Americans are growing more critical of Israel. Young Americans of all political stripes have not fallen prey to propaganda, though that is always a legitimate concern. Rather, they have consumed two years of videos depicting Israel’s genocide against Palestinians that have been uploaded by Palestinian journalists, ordinary people trying to survive in Gaza, IDF soldiers, and ordinary Israelis themselves. There has been no convincing refutation of the sheer amount of raw evidence of genocide coming out of Palestine. Young people in the U.S. are not stupid or gullible. They simply reject genocide – something the Secretary might consider doing as well.
Secretary Clinton appears not to be bothered by the reality of genocidal violence – in fact, she did not mention anything about it. Her concern is, rather, in her words, “the narrative” – the fact that these crimes are no longer hidden and are now being live-streamed and documented in real time, making it harder for her and others to control it. TikTok cannot be blamed for the fact that many members of Gen Z understand that Israel is …](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pwsjq3xnal6auzgeqho4ecw7/bafkreiafbjju65esvo6htynkkl6or6muv4qqhwo5fghkkbyvclgnxxmchy@jpeg)

Sharing some good news: I got a call yesterday with reassuring pathology: uterine biopsy non-malignant. I will proceed with surgery (given my risks).
Bottom line: Seek medical care for post-menopausal vaginal bleeding. It is endometrial cancer until proven otherwise, the most common gyne cancer.
