I don’t often link to my non-fiction stuff here (mostly because I’m too lazy to do it regularly) but I’ve had a few very different pieces come out in a few different venues in the last couple of weeks, so here’s a little round-up:

• Decolonizing science fiction — the inaugural article for Article Mag
• How common sense came to mean its opposite under Trump – CBC Opinion
• How history can change in an instant – Ottawa Citizen

I don’t expect to be writing much opinion over the next few months, because I have a few big projects on the go that are up against their deadlines, and I’ll be teaching two classes starting in January. One’s at Carleton University. The other is an open opinion-writing class for The Loft online, where students work on their own schedules — sign-ups for that are still open.
