hello tumblr dot com.
it is i, the entity previously known to you as shookethbrooketh, optimistphan, and, among other things, just “brook.” 2fa locked me out of my tumblr account for many moons, but today i learned that tumblr support can fix that for you and now i am back!
it’s been a while! here are some various life updates:
dan and phil are gay. why else do you think i’d be here in the big two-five?
i now go by river and use they/he pronouns. i also recently had top surgery! it’s pretty sick :)
i’ve been dating the loveliest man for 3 years now and we’re getting married next year
i graduated from yale with a degree in political science and women’s, gender, and sexuality studies
turns out getting that degree and then going back to live in the mountains in virginia isn’t conducive to getting a job. no regrets(?!) but really though, i have way too much time on my hands. again, why do you think i’m here?
so yeah, that’s me! i may start making content again in the coming days, we’ll see. i still need to watch today’s phodcast. in recognition of both my birth name and my chosen name, ive renamed my blog to 💦 waterdnp. 💦 we’re getting moist up in this bitch.
i’m excited to be back with you all and hopefully meet some cool new folks! my inbox is open if you wanna catch up or just say hi :)
