Sleep, organize your work space for a fresh start, exercise, eat healthy, meditate, go for a long weekend/roadtrip to somewhere relaxing (spa? beachside town?)

Best of luck and congrats on the new job!

Agree with everyone else! Literally do whatever you want but absolutely do NOT worry about being “productive.” Maybe plan an easy/relaxing trip but keep it chill.

Food for thought: the US is actually one of the most racially conscious places I’ve ever lived. Not saying we don’t have a LONG way to go and that there isn’t immediate important work needed.
But the amount of allies this movement has is incredible.

You wouldn’t have people calling out taxi drivers for ignorance for example
