I'm glad that they still make an earnest effort to protect the goat, rather than turning this into an event.

yeah when someone doesnt want the goat to burn im like what why but then im like no its better this way

Goat’s back (kept forgetting to check on this earlier in the week)

Sickos reprasent!

I thought Burning Goat was cancelled this year?

I only learned about the Gavle goat because of its (long) history of people burning it down. But when it actually does get burned down, I feel sad now. See you next year, goat.

It was necessary. That Wikipedia page was getting way too green.

to everything turn, turn, turn
a time to leave the goat unburned and a time for burning

rip big man

A huge thank you to everyone that made my 2022 inauguration special, moments like this warms a simple stawgoats heart. pic.twitter.com/BLCZUs7tkO

My holiday spirit is deeply lacking this year. But no one burning the goat--as of this posting--helps.

<3

Due to the straw used to construct the goat containing higher than usual amounts of seed, the goat has been damaged by flocks of jackdaws foraging for food.[80]

wtf jackdaws

Finding myself missing twitter this winter - I usually follow the goat to see how he's doing but no more updates for me.

he does also have an instagram account

Ah true, I just never got that into instagram (I prefer text over images). But I can duck back into my account to check in on the lil yule goat, for sure.

still standing but, as mentioned above, mostly eaten by jackdaws
