When I was in the hospital with appendicitis I had so many people who wanted updates that I consolidated them into group chats to make it easier to update everyone as needed but I didn’t put everyone in one gc cuz they weren’t all from the same social circles

Anyway there are now some of these GCs still floating around being used as friend group chats actively but they’re all still named stuff like “Anti Appendix Club” “Shel’ Appendix Pupdates” “Philly Appendicitis Coordination” etc.

Discord will be like “New message in Anti Appendix Club: OMG BESTIES LOOK AT MY NEW MANI!!!”
