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.

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
