It's Thursday, and it's time to go Geeking once again! Click on the meme below to go to the download page or search for Geeking with Destination Venus wherever fine pods are casted.
Incidentally, we found the above meme on the inter-webs and we don't know who created it. If it was you, or you know who made this please let us know so that we can give appropriate credit - or if it's yours and you'd rather we took it down just let us know.
BATMAN
Heh. Much giggling and schoolboy humour. You can read the full story all over the internet, but we'd recommend checking out the article in the Hollywood Reporter.
SCIENCE
The Hubble Space Telescope is currently broken. This is a shame. Read the full story HERE.
But N.A.S.A. is officially going back to Venus - read about that HERE.

A Quick and easy guide to queer and trans identities
In this quick and easy guide to queer and trans identities, cartoonists Mady G and J.R. Zuckerberg guide you through the basics of the LGBTQ+ world! Covering essential topics like sexuality, gender identity, coming out, and navigating relationships, this guide explains the spectrum of human experience through informative comics, interviews, worksheets, and imaginative examples. A great starting point for anyone curious about queer and trans life, and helpful for those already on their own journeys!
On a Sunbeam
Tillie Walden's queer space-opera tells the story of Mia, from her life as a rebellious schoolgirl, to her time as part of the crew on the ship Aktis, out in the deepest reaches of space, rebuilding beautiful and broken down structures.
Part love story, part epic space adventure, and dealing with Tillie’s now signature themes of sexuality & gender, the individual in landscape, first love and awesome cats; On A Sunbeam is a masterpiece of modern comics and arguably Tillie’s greatest artistic statement so far.
This will be the fourth Tillie Walden book from Avery Hill, a partnership that began when Tillie was 18, with the publication of her debut graphic novel The End of Summer in 2015. Since then they have released two editions of Walden’s I Love This Part and her third book, A City Inside. It is a collaboration that has garnered many accolades, including two Ignatz Awards and two Eisner nominations.
Kim and Kim
Kim & Kim are twentysomething besties out to make a name for themselves in the wild world of interdimensional cowboy law enforcement. In a massive “screw you” to their parents and the authorities, they decide to hijack some high stakes bounty — and end up in way over their heads. Kim & Kim is a day-glo action adventure that’s bursting with energy and enthusiasm. It puts queer women and trans women front and center, with a story that embraces the absurd alongside realistic pathos.
Blending the punk exuberance of TANK GIRL with the buddy adventure wackiness of SUPERBAD (if Michael Cera was a trans woman and Jonah Hill a queergirl partner in crime), Kim & Kim focuses on the power and meaning of female friendships as engines of validation. A bright, happy, punk rock sci fi adventure that is queer as shit.
“A technicolor carousel of guitars, guns, cephalopods and a pair of interstellar guttersnipes just trying to get by. Cabrera, Aguirre & Visaggio have created a madcap world huge enough to contain interdimensional-traveling shapeshifters but small enough to get wrapped up in the bounty-hunting as indie rock travails of the Kims in question. KIM & KIM is a beautiful, foulmouthed book.” – Christopher Sebela (Heartthrob, We(l)come Back, Dead Letters, High Crimes)
