WAKE UP CALL
Nothing Made Me Grow Up Faster Than My Divorce ([link removed])

Welcome back from the long (hopefully lovely) weekend. First up this week:

“There’s nothing like having three kids in three years to make you feel, finally, like an adult,” writes Katie Bingham-Smith today. “I went from taking care of just myself to having three little people who depended on me to meet all their needs in a really short amount of time. It was a jarring experience. But as a woman who’s now been divorced for over six years, I can say with all honesty that the end of my marriage made me grow up even faster than becoming a mom.”

BOSS WITCH ENERGY
In Defense Of Ursula, The Little Mermaid's Misunderstood Villain ([link removed])

Kelly Schremph has a spicy take today, inspired by the new live-action “Little Mermaid”: “Ask pretty much anyone, and they will agree that Ursula is bad. But… is she really? Upon further inspection, I believe this tentacled, tenacious tycoon isn’t the villain people always make her out to be. In fact, I’d even go so far as to say that Ursula isn’t a villain ([link removed]) at all.” Let her make her case, folks!
