Feedback Letter to The Knot

Way to take it too far. Suggesting that I inject botulism into my body for my wedding day was just the straw that broke the proverbial camel’s back, really I cannot believe how commercialized you’ve managed to make what is supposed to be the most special day in a person’s life.

Once upon a time I respected your magazine and your website. You’ve managed to completely undermine that respect in every possible way.

Congratulations. Good luck with the Botox.

If you’re afraid to travel to Mexico because of the violence, it’s probably because of the illegal drug trade. If your prisons are overcrowded, it’s probably because of the illegal drug trade. If the courts are overrun it’s because of the illegal drug trade. Neighborhood falling to shit? Drug trafficking. Just imagine city hall being deluged with work and forms because new businesses are popping up everywhere. Imagine tax revenue increasing because marijuana is now part of a buiness model instead of a cash deal. Imagine your child buying marijuana, because I promise you they will, would you like it to be from behind a counter, or from a criminal?

I’m curious what exactly you think liberals do that’s so supportive of sex work as a job choice? Because I am not aware of any legislation introduced by a mainstream liberal politician to decriminalize my career. I don’t mean citizen’s initiatives like Proposition K, I mean a sitting elected official making a clear effort to repeal laws prohibiting sex work. I don’t know of any. If you find me some, I’d be pleased to hear about it, but my experience and observation is that liberal and conservative politicians may phrase it differently, but they both get to the same conclusion: keep sex work mostly illegal and heavily stigmatized.
