tonight I got a text from my friend about the groundhog's prediction, boo more winter-
also "at least he was not dead like the one from Canada"
#groundhog day#fred la marmotte#i AM SO SORRY FRED LA MARMOTTE#i did laugh but there were also tears (...from laughing)#cannot believe i did not see this earlier#(i am genuinely sad for the poor groundhog and how strange for the crowd there though)#but also just#unbelievable

*Canadian voice* I know that when the groundhog comes out and gets scared of his own shadow that there'll be 6 more weeks of winter but what's it mean if the groundhog fucking dies?? Fuckin six more weeks of winter and then the planet's core just falls out its own ass? I mean I never read Dante's Inferno but I'm pretty sure the final circle of hell is marked by a groundhog just up and having a stroke.
Saw a journalist being clever saying Fred's death "casts a shadow" on groundhog day but I think the signalling of the end times is a bad opportunity to make clever wordplay. They were talking about him like he was a person too. Took over for his father, served nine years, had an 80% success rate, no one's talking about how he died the night a once-every-50k-years green comet passed us by and I'm not saying that's some biblical shit bud but what are the chances.

i looked up an article on groundhog day today because i wanted to see what punxsutawney phil had predicted and, halfway down the article, was greeted with the subheading: "quebec replaces groundhog... with a child" and something abt the whole situation has me on the verge of tears. i don't know whether it's that they found fred la marmotte dead when they went to wake him up this morning (which means that they must usually leave fred all winter and only bother him right before it's time for his big day), or that they took a child in a groundhog hat from the crowd and gave them a stuffie groundhog and let the kid make the weather prediction, but it's so bittersweet ? and altogether too much emotion for groundhog day

“He was a least 14-years-old; that’s pretty old for a groundhog,”

What the heck is that supposed to mean?
This was the last winter with snow we ever got?
There will be an ice age?
End of days?
Like ... meterology is aleady hard enough without criptic messages ...
