Introduction!
I'm a thoughtful queer cis neurospicy parent of 3 adult kiddlies; the spouse of an amazing woman; a family lawyer; a crafter of chainmaille jewelry & toys; a cultural Jew, a witchy neopagan, and a lay leader in my Unitarian Universalist church; and I am always changing.
Dee-lightful.

Follow-up on Etel Haxhiaj's Motion to Dismiss...the judge scheduled a hearing for November 19 to take the time to review the body-cam footage. I have not yet found out the status of Mx. Spring's motion, but probably the same.

For context, a Motion to Dismiss is an argument that the facts even if true do not describe any of the existing criminal charges, or, that there was some error of law which should result in some facts not being considered, and that the more limited facts do not describe any of the criminal charges.

I don't have an update on Councillor Hiaxhiaj's motion to dismiss. The protest was clearing out as I came outside, though.
September 25, 2025 at 2:55 PM
The district court broke for a morning recess, and I have many other clients with needs, so I couldn't stick around.

Per Masslive's reporting, it wasn't clear if Spring's Motion to Dismiss was under advisement (for the judge to think about and decide) or being addressed later in some way.

Etel Haxhiaj, a Worcester city councillor, and Ashley Spring, a resident, both have Motions to Dismiss scheduled for today. They have criminal charges arising from the May 2025 incident where Worcester police used excessive force to protect an ICE abduction, and the community intervened.

Here's my small stupid of the month (welcome me to the club!). I did not realize that my increasing cholesterol is as much a result of my aging flesh-sack as osteoarthritis is.
I can stop flagellating myself now, TYVM, and maybe release some of my resentment at past-Steve for not eating so well.

The claims that McIver, Padilla, and Lander were committing assault should make you question every other time LEOs claim assault or resisting arrest, if you weren’t already.

I'm planning on attending the Hands Off rally and march at the Boston Common. If you're wanting to learn more, you check out the site at: www.mobilize.us/handsoff/eve...

The organizers consider these spaces and route to be accessible; which if my memory serves is accurate.

I'm only 2 eps in, but I really enjoying my first contact with Everything Happens. 'Good soil', feat. Jeff Chu is the most recent posting, with last week being Pádraig Ó Tuama about belonging.
I now have my own thoughts percolating away about 'good gravel'.

It doesn't matter how long; it doesn't matter how long it's been; it's about doing what works.

I found a tiny nature trail nearby, and added that to my 1st walk outside in (I think) months.

Stepping into the woods was like sloughing off a tangible layer of stress. Gotta remember that feeling.
