Cover for issue 7, Spring 2026, of Trollbreath Magazine. The background art by Aimee Cozza shows a slim figure in a white astronaut suit. They are floating, but the are dramatically arched back as though some violent force has taken them. From the back of their helmet, a black swirl of planets and nebulae spews out and spreads wide.

He didn't have a choice. The Epstein files had caught fire again and the nuclear talks were going well.

Time to spill blood and make loud noises.

H.R. 7661 isn’t about protection. It’s about erasure. As a trans woman, I know that seeing yourself in a book can be life saving. Every girl deserves to know she belongs. Imagine being a child and feeling like everyone hates you.

Don't be fooled by this bill's name-- this is a book banning bill that will exclude LGBTQ books from all public schools NATIONWIDE.

Call your congresspeople and tell them to VOTE NO on this nakedly bigoted book banning bullshit.

Oof this is a small thing compared to some of the other bad news today but a heartbreaker nonetheless. The Sheraton, a few blocks away, closed recently too.

I wrote up a script for people unsure what to say or who have anxiety about calling. fellow cis people, you have no excuse to not put your lives on the line for trans people. we are past the point of simply hoping things improve.

Preorders are live for The Final Chronicle of Yeneh! Part portal fantasy, part sci-fi adventure, all heart.

Think Narnia in space. If you love Narnia but wonder why they needed four British children to rule them after deposing the evil queen, this one's for you.
