S. E. Thomson is a queer, trans, autistic, and disabled writer who specializes in finding humor in places it probably shouldn’t be. He writes about identity, chronic illness, and the general chaos of being a human person with too many tabs open. Thomson’s work blends sharp honesty with dark humor because if you don’t laugh, you will absolutely cry, and he’s already done enough of that.
