You might ask why he joined, and I donโ€™t doubt I differ from Watson on many things, but I applaud his principled stand, recognition of the toxic direction of travel, and genuine commitment to multi-faith tolerance.

Just had a thought @paintoolkit.bsky.social. Iโ€™m a great supporter of the concept of the โ€˜Pain Cafeโ€™ but itโ€™s not a title that seems to land well when I speak to lay people about it. I wonder the name โ€˜Pain Toolkit Cafeโ€™ or โ€˜Live Well With Pain Cafeโ€™ would be a better sell?
