Dolores Cacuango, also known as Mamá Doloreyuk, was a leader in the fight for indigenous rights in Ecuador born on this day in 1881. She was active in the Glorious May Revolution of 1944 and co-founded the Indigenous Federation of Ecuador (FEI).

Cacuango was born to enslaved people in San Pablourco who worked the Pesillo Hacienda near Cayambe without being paid. She had no access to education due to her lack of resources, and learned Spanish while working as a housemaid.

In 1930, Cacuango was among the leaders of the historic workers’ strike at the Pesillo hacienda in Cayambe, which was a milestone for indigenous and peasant rights. During the Glorious May Revolution in Ecuador, Cacuango personally led an assault on a government military base.

The same year, with the help of Ecuador’s Communist Party, Cacuango co-founded the Indigenous Federation of Ecuador (FEI), an early group in the fight for indigenous rights. She also helped establish some of the first bilingual indigenous schools.

    some academic guest speaker is like “china HATES public opinion research, they don’t HAVE IT, there’s ONE APPARATUS and it’s a DUAL PARTNERSHIP WITH JAPAN” in my class and I’m like, motherfucker, that’s what the Mass Line is, it’s just conducted through the party apparatus

    There are currently three (3) dead roaches on the ground in my apartment’s laundry facility. Nobody has bothered to move them for weeks at this point, one of them is a baby. Two of the four total washers are broken, one of which has been broken since I moved in over a year ago. Someone once threw out a full package of raw chicken breasts into the trash can in the laundry room and it took like two week for it to get cleaned up. But hey at least the landlord gave all of us gift bags last night.

      omg raw chicken breasts start to smell absolutely putrid within a few days, you’d have to hold your breath to do laundry without vomiting

      how’d you do it? i get zero matches but i’m pretty up front about things that likely make me undateable. though i do also live in an area where it seems like at least 90% of the people are just awful anyhow

        idk tbh lmao, I upgraded my photos with ones that were taken with nice natural lighting. the only close-up face pic I have of me where I look decently handsome I also look miserable in so I’ve started leaning into it and leading with some cynical humor to justify it, no idea if it works or if it scares people off more often than not. I think I’m decently conventionally attractive, prolly a 7 or so if we’re gonna be disgusting and reductive about it (attraction is ultimately subjective ofc), so eh I guess that helps. I’m also a short king/short themperor so I unlist my height when I can. Again I gotta stress that these matches are still super rare, but the gender skew is what it is and that’s to be expected.

        EDIT: if you have avenues to meet ppl in person (friends of friends, work, hobby groups) that is ultimately still vastly superior & nicer & more humanized so focus more of your energy on that if it’s an option. The issue is ofc that these avenues are drying up as we get more isolated and overworked, hence the apps being a necessity for many people.

      Get IRL as fast as possible. something like “hey. I hate chatting on these things. There’s no way to digitize my charm. We should grab a coffee/tea or something. A 15 minute face to face is worth like a month of messaging.”

    I should really cook dinner. But the caffeine is wearing off and I want to chill out for a bit, but if I do then I won’t have time to make what I want in time for dinner time, but getting up and cutting stuff and then browning stuff and then you gotta get a plate for the first stuff so you can put in the other stuff. And I still gotta figure out part of what I’m gonna put in there. Plus my headphones are dying and I should charge them lest they leave my alone with my thoughts while I’m cooking . . . executive dysfunction is such a great concept for understanding my difficulty in getting up to go make dinner. However I still do not want to go cook dinner.

    Looks like r/blackepsteinfeed is in the process of getting nuked by Reddit admins. How the hell am I going to steal these podcasts now?

    Side note, but blackepsteinfeed is one of the worst names for a subreddit maybe ever. I know it’s supposed to be aping blackwolffeed (and, frankly, I don’t know why the bootleg chapo feed was called black wolf in the first place), but it sounds like it’s a sub for discussing the black Jeffrey Epstein.

    Anyway, the two most recent episodes of Trueanon, 326 and 327, which are both up for free, are very good. 326 is an interview with a Palestinian activist, Akram Salhab. 327 is a two hour long interview with Finkelstein who, despite his recent weird anti-cancel-culture tack, has a refreshingly clear-eyed analysis of the genocide.
