I was on social media today and reading about the Adam Toledo video and it took me back to last June, which on top of the pain from seeing this racist system continue to win out, June was my lowest billing month and hurt my confidence about hitting hours compared to my white peers.

How are other people dealing with 1) trauma of another racist murder by cops and 2) impact on work? I am not black, so my pain does not compare but I can't act like things are fine either...

Is it bad etiquette to spend less than $50 on a gift? We have a firm holiday party where everyone picks a name and gets a gift for that person, and I don't have a super close relationship with the person that I picked.
