I‘ve brought RPD back online for the time being, but I will not be adding anything new to it any time soon. I had prepared a somewhat elaborate explanation as to why I’d continue to update RPD periodically, but upon further reflection I just don’t have it in me to continue writing right here, right now. I have neither the drive nor the desire to write, and those of you who know me know I don’t do things half-assed.
That’s a shame, in my opinion. I think I do a pretty good job of articulating my thoughts and opinions on various matters, including sex workers’ rights. People have asked me what my favorite posts have been over the past two years. It’d have to be my posts blaming society as a whole for Julissa Brisman’s death, and demonstrating how Donna Hughes and her ilk advocate the abuse of sex workers. My “how-to” posts have been quite popular as well.
I’ve spent the past six years writing and debating others about why those who sell sex as a service should be afforded the same rights and privileges as everyone else in society. And while I still feel that way passionately, I just don’t have the heart to stand in front of others (virtually or otherwise) and do that right now. Nor do I feel like trying to put into words what I do, what I’ve done, and what I think. When you lose your voice, you don’t even feel like talking.
Therefore, there’ll be no more posts here on RPD. I have a thesis I have to produce, and maybe all of this is Karma’s way of putting me in a position where I can concentrate solely on that and get it done without so many distractions. I’ll graduate in May and then get the fuck out of this city, to go on to bigger and better things. I’ll continue seeing my regular clients as long as they wish me to, but will not be accepting any new clients at all. I’ve ceased almost all of my other projects except for two, one of which is the My First Professional Sex web site (I’ll continue accepting and posting stories there so long as people submit them).
The Tumblrs will remain in place, but I don’t plan to post any more photos to them until perhaps the middle of the year. AlexaRPD on Twitter will be going away in rather short order, but I’ll have another Twitter to keep in touch with some close friends.
For those who’ve expressed support for me over the past few weeks, I sincerely appreciate your words and thoughts. It means a lot to me. For those who pretended to be friends while talking shit about me behind my back while you thought I wasn’t looking, fuck you (and I mean that passionately as well). For those of you behind the Exposeaho bullshit, STFU already and find something else to do with your time; you’re not helping (though I did get tickled at your choice of who to expose first).
Just a note that all comments from this point forward are going to be moderated, so if you’re planning on posting something antagonistic, save your energy because it won’t make it out of moderation (and I won’t read past what I need to to realize it’s bullshit).
With that, I’ll bid each of you adieu.
