Photo by Kiru Winter on August 23, 2026. May be an image of magazine and text that says 'You have a great life. You have happy parents. You have a younger sister that you're still in contact with. Your best friend meets you every week. You go out to cafés and bars. You drink together, laugh together, tell each other stories. You have a neighbour that you've had a crush n since you moved to that town. Your boss at work is nice to you and offers you a promotion.'.
Photo by Kiru Winter on August 23, 2026. May be an image of text that says 'But you're unhappy. The streets are unsafe, you still don't get paid enough, and all those people with their rainbow flags annoy you so much. They're tainting your home country, you think. Those immigrants. They're making you uncomfortable. Those gays. They'r confusing you. Those trans people.'.
Photo by Kiru Winter on August 23, 2026. May be a meme of text that says 'You feel rage. You know you have to change something about it. Your parents stay silent, and your sister does too. You can't talk to your best friend about it, and your crush doesn't seem to mind either. Not even your boss, who you thought was so intelligent, addresses the issue at work.'.
Photo by Kiru Winter on August 23, 2026. May be a Twitter screenshot of standing and text that says 'You wonder why. Aren't leftists dangerous to society? Didn't that one case where a person of colour attacked someone prove your point? Or that one time when a trans person caused trouble? How can no no one see that?'.
Photo by Kiru Winter on August 23, 2026. May be a Twitter screenshot of text that says 'You protest. At At first, you only do it online. You find a community. There are more people feeling that rage. You contact them, and you all chat. They're feeling just like you. Immigrants, gay people, trans people. It's all their fault. How could it be anyone else's fault?'.
Photo by Kiru Winter on August 23, 2026. May be an image of text that says 'Those people, those subhumans that invade your home, they should not even be there. You can't understand them. So, they must be bad. Scary. Dangerous. It makes you so angry. Seeing that so many people online agree with you and feel the same rage, but no one does anything. Politics left you alone.'.
Photo by Kiru Winter on August 23, 2026. May be an image of text that says 'Then, you start going to demonstrations. You find out how many there are. You meet up with these people. They share your rage. They justify it. They fuel it.'.
Photo by Kiru Winter on August 23, 2026. May be a Twitter screenshot of magazine and text that says 'Votes are coming up soon. You're so euphoric. This time, something will change. No more slow politics that don't change anything. No more taint n your home country. No more of these psychopaths. You vote. Your parents vote too, as do your best friend, your sister, your crush, and your boss. You haven't seen them at any of your protests, and they won't talk about it.'.
Photo by Kiru Winter on August 23, 2026. May be an image of text that says 'But you are sure they voted for the same party as you did. How could they not? It is the right thing to do. You know that. They must feel your rage too. They're just better at hiding it, you think.'.
Photo by Kiru Winter on August 23, 2026. May be an image of champagne and text that says 'Your party wins. All your online friends are celebrating. You're celebrating too. You open your champagne bottle. You drink. You won. But the rage is still not gone. No, you feel like this is just the beginning. Now change has to happen.'.
Photo by Kiru Winter on August 23, 2026. May be an image of text that says 'And it does. Slowly, but steadily. Rights are slowly being changed, limited, taken away. But you know it's right. You just know it. The rage tells you it is.'.

Photo by Kiru Winter on August 23, 2026. May be a Twitter screenshot of poster and text that says 'You haven't seen your boss either. He promised yu a promotion, but now, you will never receive it. Because your boss had a boyfriend. And that is illegal now. So, while you get angry at work about the lack of promotion, he sits in jail for his crime that is called love. And he awaits a trial he knows he will lose. Because there is no logical framework these rules are built on.'.
Photo by Kiru Winter on August 23, 2026. May be a Twitter screenshot of text that says 'For some reason, your best friend didn't have time for you either. Because he's trans. And they found his records from his childhood. So, currently, he is in conversion therapy. Undergoing psychological torture because they say he chose to exist the wrong way.'.
Photo by Kiru Winter on August 23, 2026. May be a Twitter screenshot of text that says 'Your sister hasn't called you in a while. That's because she was caught kissing a girl at her school. Another student reported her. Now, she's her way to a youth correctional facility to get treated for her mental disorder.'.
Photo by Kiru Winter on August 23, 2026. May be a Twitter screenshot of text that says 'Not even your parents visited you on your birthday. Instead, they are in the hospital. Because your father got attacked at a demonstration he he attended to advocate for democracy. But those demonstrations are no longer tolerated. So, he deserved it. And your mother deserves to cry at his bedside.'.

I usually don't write short stories. There's not enough space to create all these characters with deep personalities, struggles, and goals. So, I normally stick to novels.

But I think this story doesn't really need all those specific characters and traits that I usually like to write. Because this story can be applied to many people, and the protagonist changes depending on who reads it.

So, 19 slides are enough.

Minorities don't want you to relate to them or fully understand them. They just want to live in peace.

So, don't let your unjustified rage destroy their lives. Because it can always end up hurting someone you love.

And even if it doesn't, these people are others' loved ones: others' children, parents, best friends, or partners.

We deserve to live.
We deserve sunshine.

So, have a great day and be nice to each other! 🤍🤍✨ And don't be ignorant a**holes.

Актриса Айгүл Иманбаева актерлік шеберліктен дәріс беріп, оқушысына дұрыс демалуды үйретуде. Алайда шәкірті тапсырманы дұрыс орындай алмаған сәтте, сабақ күтпеген жерден шиеленісе түскен. Видеода актрисаның оқушысына қатаң талап қойып, тіпті қол көтеруге дейін барғаны байқалады. Бұл көрініс желі қолданушыларының назарын аударып, актерлік шеберлікті үйренудің қаншалықты қиын екенін тағы бір мәрте көрсетті.
As @tatemcrae’s fame grows, one can feel her asking herself: What becomes of all this? “I am constantly chasing the adrenaline of being onstage,” she says. “At the same time, I am also a sponge. I love learning, and then fixing myself.” Ahead of the release of her new single “Housewife,” the 23-year-old Canadian sensation opens up about her viral Lollapalooza performance, the supermodel who inspired her new fragrance, and the dance legends she considers true originals.
