Back in August 2020, our group chat started from a single tweet. That tweet would start one of the most chill, friendly group chats on TLOUtwt (I mean, that isnโ€™t hard. Have you seen TLOUtwt?) Ever since then, this chaotic group of lunatics turned family have been known as the Trash Disgusters. We are a friendly space, and we welcome people of all backgrounds and identities (so long as they are not harmful). Our popular topics to talk about include the likes of:The Last of Us/The Last of Us Part II
The Haunting of Bly Manor
The Legend of Korra
Harry Potter
She-Ra and the Princesses of Power
BTS
Among Us (we also have regular gaming sessions)
Paramore/Hayley Williams/Taylor Swift
Attack on Titan
Other popular games such as Tomb Raider, Cyberpunk etc

This chat has harmlessly mild NSFW jokes (barking, simping, an ongoing โ€œWhale PPโ€ joke) so if this makes you uncomfortable we recommend you donโ€™t join this group chat.We are striving to create a safe environment for all our members, there are times we will cover/discuss sensitive topics which may occur on the timeline of a member or even in the life of a member. We feel these are healthy discussions to have, and things deemed triggering are marked with โ€œTW //โ€œ to ensure the safety of all our members. If this makes you uncomfortable, but you still wish to be part of the group chat, you are welcome to leave and return at a later date. We encourage our members to take breaks when needed and self care is of the utmost importance to us.To close off the notes section, we are a family. We care for and love each other dearly.
