a few years ago, it fell to me to tell some family members that someone very close to them had died. one of my best friends is a doctor, and he gave me some really good advice about how to do that conversation. which I pass on now, for anyone who needs to give bad news.

something that I think about sometimes which I think would be hard to convey to someone even ten years younger than me is: how much we really didn't talk about before the internet existed. how many experiences were intensely private, unsayable until sayable in this way.

7) if you have a number of these phonecalls to make, my advice is that it's very useful to have someone who cares about you and who didn't know the person at all (ie is not bereaved etc themselves) who you can phone in between each one to tell you you're doing a good job

1) if you have to leave a message, say "Hi <x> it's Naomi, I'm calling with some very sad news. Could you call me back on <number>." Don't break the news by a voice message, but also allow them to know that this won't be an easy conversation or a casual one.

4) after you say "<x died>" or "whatever the bad news is", stop. do not say anything else. if you have more information to give let them ask for it. respond to what they say next, or remain in complete silence if they are silent. if they start to cry, just say "I'm here".

I review Leni Zumas' absorbing and enjoyable new novel in the NYT:

A Novel That Asks, What if Abortion Were Again Illegal? (Published 2018)

“Red Clocks,” by Leni Zumas, imagines a dystopian near-future in which women are once again stripped of reproductive freedoms.

UnReal on Amazon Prime is one of the best TV dramas I've ever seen. About the cynical, abusive, absurd making of a reality TV show.

@NaomiAllthenews in other words, games are still getting off pretty lightly in terms of detailed textual scrutiny
