When Ash Wednesday hits, a couple of things happen: you try to figure out what you’re going to give up for lent, and once you get your ash, you have to deal with weird looks from non-Catholics who have no idea why you’re walking around with charcoal smudge on your forehead.

But the most fun part of Ash Wednesday? Looking in the mirror to see what kind of smudge the priest hooked you up with.  Because no two smudges are the same:

Sometimes it’s a long cross:

Sometimes it’s a tiny cross…

And sometimes it just looks like a “plus” sign.

Occasionally, you’ll get one that kinda looks like a ghost.

Or one that’s shiny and silver…

And other times, you’ll get a cross that runs a little.

Sometimes, you’ll get one that’s noticeable from far, far away…

All ashed up! #ashwednesday #ashtag #fiu #catholicpanthers #beginningoflent #40days

And sometimes, you’ll get one that’s barely visible.

Yep, sometimes the ash looks like it was spray painted on…

And other times, it looks like THE BATMAN LOGO???

Pretty clear this last guy went to a comic book shop for his ash.

Watch a High School Girl Savagely Take Down Her White, Male Teacher’s Idea Of What Racism Is

But That's None Of My Business / Facebook

A white, male high school teacher was on the receiving end of a brutal tongue lashing after trying to teach a group of mostly teenagers of color what racism is. ¡¿%?! Yeah, we know. But THIS girl was was fierce, direct, and SO many goals. This shit is amazing.

This is who just owned her teacher on what racism really is.

“You’re trying to say that it’s just race,” she said right off the bat.

“Racism is based on the systematic oppression of people,” she said.

And she kept going from there.

Apparently, the teacher made reference to the potential of systematic oppression facing white people in the future and she conceded that it is possible…

Talk about getting schooled.

Her peers agreed with her. ?

*snaps* ✊

“You saying that that’s not, like, up for argument is kind of like you, as a white man, saying what is and what is not racist.” Shut. It. Down.
