Damn Good Journalism Chelsea Edgar is an absolutely amazing writer. Reading her [ Mother Load, March 10], I felt this crazy swirl of things: guilty relief that my pandemic life has been relatively stable; anger about how even in Vermont we haven t figured out how to make life not suck for everyone; a rush of empathy and affection for these three brave, strong, nearly broken women. Her writing made it all the way into my heart. That s a mark of damn good journalism. Thank you. Jason Van Driesche
Another Mother Chelsea Edgar s article was outstanding and heartbreaking [ Mother Load, March 10]. All during the months last year, I felt so fortunate to be 59 years old with young motherhood behind me. That s because I knew how awful it would have been to be a young mother dealing with it.
On Fraud I have nothing to do with the Ethan Allen Institute, but Jack McMullen and Rob Roper are correct regarding Dave Gram s Fair Game column of January 27 [Feedback: All is Not Well, February 3; Column Does a Disservice, February 10]. It is shoddy journalism to imply that a legitimate concern about the possibility of election fraud in Vermont is the same as trumpeted lies about a stolen presidential election. In doing so,
Seven Days brings the toxic political climate of the nation to Vermont. Look at the story with open eyes. No one wants election fraud, and if there is a chance it is even possible, our officials should investigate, not snidely dismiss. If it is not possible, they should say so clearly and explain why.
