Defenestration Magazine

Fun fact: If you were to print out the August 2026 issue of Defenestration and eat it, it would be safer to consume than 80% of the food in the United States. That's right, Defenestration isn't contaminated with glass or radioactive waste, and it won't give you diarrhea. Read it here: bit.ly/4hKid3g
