The Short List Saturday, April 11 Rise, shine and social distance. While there's a lot of news swirling in the country, we're going to keep today's long reads focused on helpful resources and how we can care for ourselves and each other as we cope with the world today. Things that have helped: • 100 things to do when stuck inside during a pandemic • 100 movies to watch for every cinematic yearning (and 10 great baseball movies to cure opening day blues) • Recipes you can make with 5 ingredients or less (hello, enchiladas!) One thing we hope helps you, too: We've launched a new newsletter on coping called Staying Apart, Together. Every Saturday and Tuesday, USA TODAY TV Critic Kelly Lawler will share tips, tricks and moments of joy, from advice to mental health resources to the latest TikTok dance videos. We can't wait for today's first edition. You can sign up here. And now, time for some long reads...
