reading about homosexuality in precolonial Hawaii
![Hawaiian scholar Lilikalā Kameʻeleihiwa notes that aikāne served a practical purpose of building mutual trust and cohesion; "If you didn't sleep with a man, how could you trust him when you went into battle? How would you know if he was going to be the warrior that would protect you at all costs, if he wasn't your lover?"[239]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cyyd366g3hrxp5rynixm2mm3/bafkreihsshvv3s5nlzn46fw4bomemw5qg7em6xx72qmw4nmz5xz5ql5gmm)

![Howard was gay, a fact that comes up frequently in his later work.[9] He was out to some degree since at least the 1960s, when he remarked to friend W. H. Auden that he was offended by a fellow poet's use of Jewish and gay epithets, "since [he was] both these things", to which Auden replied, "My dear, I never knew you were Jewish!"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cyyd366g3hrxp5rynixm2mm3/bafkreih7kjvy74chfqoo5fg6vi3fpy3ndwwl4yzqn3jelnfxdjjb3xlpw4)

there are only two things in the "events" section of "Hart Senate Office Building"
![Anthrax attack
On October 15, 2001, several suites of the building became contaminated by the release of anthrax powder from an envelope mailed to Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle in the 2001 anthrax attacks.[43] The building was closed October 17, 2001, displacing hundreds of Senate staff. The building was decontaminated using chlorine dioxide gas from November to December 2001,[44] and the building reopened January 23, 2002.[45]
2025 birthday party
On October 15, 2025, Jim Justice hosted a birthday party for his dog Babydog in the Hart Senate Office Building in spite of a federal government shutdown at the time. The party was attended by fans, journalists, and politicians such as Tommy Tuberville and Chuck Grassley. Cakes and snacks shaped like Babydog were served.[46]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cyyd366g3hrxp5rynixm2mm3/bafkreia6hw7zqrmtrejy6fgjtnoccepzmprvrzra2htigcz27xp6f5rk74)
just learned about the guy that played Go so hard he died
![A highlight of Edo Go history was a match hosted by the Matsudaira family in 1840, where he counterattacked Inseki's prized disciple, Akaboshi Intetsu (sent as a challenger), with a series of brilliant tetsujis. The game took a week to play and was so intense that Akaboshi collapsed from exhaustion and vomited blood, dying shortly after.[6] This incident made this match famous in Go history, and it is now called the blood-vomiting game.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cyyd366g3hrxp5rynixm2mm3/bafkreibdfynsxorxt5limzu4y4nw3syaoy5e6ly2zbuaw3pl2juwrjfdbu)

for the first time in two and a half years, a new note was played in this organ performance today!
![Organ²/ASLSP (As Slow as Possible) is a musical piece by John Cage.[1]
An organ in St. Burchardi church in Halberstadt in 2001 began a performance that is due to end in 2640. This makes it the longest running non-computerized piece currently being performed.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cyyd366g3hrxp5rynixm2mm3/bafkreiabq354dz537iuzii7lwylq56yyr4bcrzkj32by4z7fq3clewmssy)
