Inspired by the installation of the Calder sculpture, which was made possible by a grant from the National Endowment of the Arts, the Grand Rapids (MI) Festival of the Arts has been celebrated for 55 years.

Let's take a moment to express our gratitude to Judge AliKhan for her brave stand in defense of our democracy! Like and restack! #GoBlue #Democracy

How does language shape our worldview? Through juicy storytelling and cutting-edge original research, linguist Amanda Montell exposes the elements that make a wide spectrum of communities cultish. The first 2/3 of the book kept me riveted.
