What Liz is reading around the web this week: What's cool, interesting, reassuring, or just makes you smile.

I don't need to share any Coronavirus charts or "the world is sucking right now" articles, that's for sure. Instead, here are the articles, stories, essays, and videos I've been bookmarking, passing along to friends, or just saving for myself. Give yourself a little time to read a few articles for pleasure. It's worth it.   The "All the Single Ladies" remix video you need to see (above) -- and yes, that's Lucille Ball with Ginger Rogers and Lucie Arnaz.
