Happy Monday, readers! I spent almost the entire weekend playing the delightful game Roki, and I highly suggest it to anyone who loves puzzle-y adventure games and a melancholy look at grief and recovery. It’s very sweet and fun! Anyway, now onto internet things.
Think about upgrading to Kat Watches Everything+!
Sure, the free newsletter is pretty good, but if you upgrade to a paid subscription, it just gets a little bit better. (Don’t ask me how — if you know, you know.) A paid subscription is just $5 a month (or $50 a year, which is two months free), and you’ll be rewarded with bonus content PLUS the knowledge you’re helping and supporting the work I do. Click below!
On last week’s episode of my podcast, I Hate It But I Love It, Jocelyn and I concluded Movie Musical Month by talking about both Mamma Mia! and Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, and specifically how hilariously drunk all of these actors were during filming. And for the month of May, we’re doing Teen Movie Month, beginning this Wednesday with an episode about the 2001 Kirsten Dunst movie Get Over It! You should subscribe, if you wanna be cool. (You can find I Hate It But I Love It in all the usual places, including Apple, Spotify, Stitcher, and Pocket Casts.)
TWEETS!
REDDIT!
Ah, the perfect instance of don’t start shit if you don’t want shit thrown back at you:
she started joking that my husband and I just needed to have sex and how easy it is to have a baby and then she joked that I must not be a real woman if I can't get pregnant. My parents were furious and told her it was a nasty thing to say and well, they scolded her. But then she said I would be a shitty mom and that's why the universe wouldn't give me a baby and I might have lost it a bit and I told her well at least I wouldn't regret having my kids after they were born and wouldn't be thinking I should have had an abortion when they're already living, breathing babies.
Wow, these parents truly suck:
On 29th April this year, they arrived as usual and told my sister that they had a surprise for her. After the cake cutting, they took everyone outside through the back door and gifted her a BRAND NEW CAR (she recently got her driving licence). They gave me a pair of socks as a gift an hour prior to the cake cutting.
A kid spends ten years inside a wave.
The absolute wrong way to handle this situation:
She recently came back from running and asked me if she looked better before the baby. I just didn't answer before I didn't want to hurt her feelings. I left and tried to say sarcastic answers like you always look good but she clearly wasn't buying it.
TUMBLR!

TIKTOKS!
The chaos of this TikTok made me cackle very, very hard.
Same with the pure chaos of this one.
Jesus turns water into wine.
“All of our friends are vaccinated, and we’re gonna ice them to celebrate.”
Oh, my heart.
Man, I wish my ginger kitty were this chill.
“Your favourite actor has wealthy parents.”
A consumer warning for anyone who uses those reusable wool dryer balls.
The news nobody wants to learn about their dog. (Don’t worry, just trust me.)
This girl must have lost her mind when Kristen Chenoweth duetted her.

I cracked myself up into immobility, involuntarily imagining "DO HUMMINGBIRDS HAVE FEET" chanted by a TV studio audience a la Wheel of Fortune.
