In case you were wondering the Swedish opinion on Gävlebocken:
This is a store in Gävle selling christmas bucks and matches right next to one another
Gävlebocken being devoured by birds is incredible. There’s a whole creation/destruction mythos around this giant hay goat, a constant conflict between burning the goat and protecting it. And this year, it’s (unintentional?) use of hay with seeds has turned it into a birdie buffet. Being torn apart for food is simultaneous creation and destruction. I don’t reeeaaallly believe in omens (or do I?) but I wonder what kind this could be.
And there’s a white raven in Anchorage, which is having its snowiest winter ever, so very interesting winter for birds.
my forensics class has an arson project for our final so my group decided to recreate the gavle goat
