Today is all about sweetness.
It's in the bounty at Yellow Stonehouse Farm in Westfield. As the only certified organic farm for produce in Hampden county, and a CSA program that meets more needs than many, owners Connie Adams and John Kelch have side-stepped back into agriculture providing healthy options for folx, a safe haven for ecologies to blossom, and much much more.
And it is literally the name of comedian Dulce Sloan. As if years of being a part of The Daily Show and Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me wasn't laudable enough, she's released a book of essays earlier this year titled "Hello, Friends". We speak with her about her arrival at comedy, and writing, and how important it is to lift up those whose work you love.
And perhaps it is in our confusion at our attempts to be that sweetness. Word Nerd Emily Brewster takes us on a winding journey to untangle the meanings of "sympathize" and "empathize", and we feel for the struggle we all have in telling the two apart.
