The Kraken
Lord Tennyson
Below the thunders of the upper deep,
Far, far beneath in the abysmal sea,
His ancient, dreamless, uninvaded sleep
The Kraken sleepeth: faintest sunlights flee
About his shadowy sides; above him swell
Huge sponges of millennial growth and height;
And far away into the sickly light,
From many a wondrous and secret cell
Unnumber’d and enormous polypi
Winnow with giant arms the lumbering green.
There hath he lain for ages, and will lie
Battening upon huge sea-worms in his sleep,
Until the latter fire shall heat the deep;
Then once by man and angels to be seen,
In roaring he shall rise and on the surface die.Happy Kraken Day everyone! We’re celebrating the fourth day of Cephalopod Awareness Days with some cirriously awesome footage of this miniature deep sea kraken from our colleagues at MBARI. While this cirrate octopus might not battle huge sea-worms in its sleep, it is pretty adept at sifting out small crustaceans and worms hidden in the soft sediment of the deep for snack time.
Men’s fundamental attitudes toward the world are fixed by the scope and qualities of the activities in which they partake.

On this day, 22 March 2009, prison riots were sparked in Greece after the death of prison activist, Katerina Goulioni. Inmates in the women’s prison in Thebes refused to return to their cells, set fires and destroyed property, while protesters outside the prison clashed with riot police. 200 inmates in Athens also held a protest in solidarity. Goulioni was a prominent incarcerated activist, who had campaigned against lack of facilities for physically disabled prisoners, prison transfers in which many prisoners suspiciously died, and vaginal inspections which she termed “informal rape”. In the wake of the rebellion, the government promised a review of vaginal inspection methods, and other prison conditions. Goulioni’s fellow inmates sent the press the following goodbye statement: “All your life was full of thirst. Thirst for struggle and justice. You fought for all and for everything without care for the consequences. And at the end the consequences of your struggles rewarded you in the worse of manners, with a violent, unexpected sudden death. But we are still here, Katerina, and we shall remember you and continue the struggle you began. You are everywhere. We sense you and we thank you for taking care of us. For us, you will live for ever. Have a great journey!” More info here: https://ift.tt/2IICoLX https://ift.tt/2WhH3u5
