Thinking of my colleagues in Moscow today, it’s a sad day for press freedom and journalism 💔

[DW Deutsche Welle @DeutscheWelle]

According to a statement of Russia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, DW will lose all accreditations in Russia, which would lead to the closure of the Moscow bureau of #DeutscheWelle, Germany's international broadcaster.

“When we feel chosen, that is, that the people we choose are choosing us in return, this is paramount. Healthy close friendships are based on balance and reciprocity.”

Thanks to @kath_la for my thoughts in this story on best friendships for the @guardian.

"It's important to have a two-way dialogue, where we listen with empathy and genuinely seek to understand what their objections are…Trying to change a person's mind by making them feel stupid is not a path to success."

really feeling the second half of this tweet, even with a booster shot booked in for monday. remember not to shame people for wanting to be cautious, everyone’s risk perception is different

[Chelsea Fagan @Chelsea_Fagan]

in some ways this latest COVID wave feels the most depressing, as it's genuinely hard to tell what we're even reaching for anymore. everything feels simultaneously accessible and irresponsible, and you don't feel 100% good about any choice
