The Reading List: May 16, 2020

(is a woman of few words today, sorry)
This article about a cop and a young man from the same neighborhood.
I’m not totally sure what this article is actually about but I loved it.
This murder article is one of the best I’ve ever read.
Like EE, I’m part of the Tucci gang. He’s everything to me.

The 20th anniversary of “Center Stage”’s release was this week (…what!), so please enjoy this retrospect from Entertainment Weekly.
Elaine Welteroth’s socially distanced Brooklyn wedding was stunning. It’s been really heartwarming (even for me) to see how people are adapting to this situation.
The headline of this article is dumb, but the journals of Samuel Pepys, who lived through a 17th century pandemic, are fascinating.
Some good recipes I’ve made recently: white pesto pasta, shrimp scampi (double it if you want to put it over pasta so it’s saucier), carbonara.
If you are white, please read this: The Empathy Crisis of White America.

I think all three of us could have shared this link, but I was the first one to do the Reading List, so insert evil laugh here. Center Stage is one of my favorite movies from high school — how tf was that 20 years ago?! — and I loved this oral history of making the film. I have also rewatched this…twice…since shelter in place started - 10/10 would recommend.
This Robert Pattinson GQ feature is…insane.
I wish I was quarantining with Stanley Tucci.
I think we can all agree that “Karen” is the worst, and I loved this deep dive into how this meme has been turned into the villain of the coronavirus.
According to this typing test, I am an octopus. No clue what that means, but it feels like a compliment?
