Sentinel Rec: DW Did It Sentinel/Arthur Crossover by Wneleh

I had a review for one of my old Buffy fics on FF.net and after answering it, idly browsed through the TS section.

I thought I was seeing something when I spotted the words 'Arthur crossover' and I just had to click.

If you don't know the show (the books are by Marc Brown, Arthur is an aardvark, and it's a cartoon; I must've seen every episode a million times and can still sing Crazy Bus and the 'Having fun isn't hard, when you've got a library card' song) it won't mean much. If you have, go read, right now. It's not very long, totally G rated so you won't be traumatized in any way, and it captures DW's character perfectly (Machiavelli crossed with Napoleon).

I'm still snickering. Wonderful fic. Just so witty and sharp. Thank you wneleh

The discussion about race

kita0610 just posted here to say that when it comes to the current discussion on race, silence on the issue can lead to uncertainty about one's stance.

I haven't said anything about it to date but if it needs saying...

I think that:

There is no need for anyone -- anyone -- to 'fail' in a debate about race if they go into it prepared in all humility to discover that what they thought about themselves might not be true, and, in the light of what they discover, to resolve to consciously make an effort to think before they speak or judge in the future.

And revealing real names is despicable. This is something about which there is no middle ground. It's wrong.

I won't turn comments off but I don't have much more to say than that. This is so huge and hurtful and sad that I'm fumbling for words to deal with it.
