Golden Shrike is a Xenofiction webcomic drawn and written by the artist Doeprince. The Comic tells the story of two deer twins, Nero the stag and Runi the doe, as they leave their herd and explore the wider world around them. I'd ad more but I don't want to spoil it for anyone. But it's a charming webcomic that I've been enjoying for awhile now. Sadly the author posts just 1 page per week.

The Los Angeles county district attorney's office has left Twitter due to barrage of what the office called vicious homophobic attacks. The account that went by the handle [@LADAOffice](https://kbin.social/u/@LADAOffice) no longer exists on Twitter. The office said Thursday that comments on Twitter ranged from homophobic and transphobic slurs to sexually explicit and graphic images. It added that they remained visible in replies to the account more than 24 hours after they were reported to Twitter. Multiple advocacy groups say attacks on LGBTQ+ users have increased substantially since Elon Musk took over the company last fall.

It was one of hundreds of events at the convention of Protestants in the Bavarian towns of Nuernberg and Fuerth, and it draw such an immense interest that people formed a long queue outside the building an hour before it began. The ChatGPT chatbot, personified by different avatars on a huge screen above the altar, led the more than 300 people through 40 minutes of prayer, music, sermons and blessings.
The biggest Pride parade in New England has returned to Boston for the first time since 2019. Organizers say this year's focus was less on corporate backing and more on social justice and inclusion. The hiatus was due only in part to COVID-19 restrictions. The organization that used to run the event dissolved in 2021 amid criticism that it excluded racial minorities and transgender people. Pride celebrations were also held Saturday at the White House, in Rome and in New Mexico, among other sites around the globe. More are planned in other places through the remainder of June.
