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.

I nearly caught my apartment on fire this morning.
While drunk I binge-ate a lot of food last night including what I normally would have eaten for breakfast so I decided to make french fires instead. Well the metal pan I normally would put the fires on is dirty and I was too out of energy to clean it so I thought it would be a good idea to put them on parchment paper and put that directly on the oven rack. I've done this before with other foods and it's worked just fine so I thought it could work. While pouring the french fires onto the paper while it was in the oven I tired to pull the rack out farther to get more room and ended up accidentally pulling the rack all the way out which spilled the parchment paper and french fires onto the heating element at the bottom of the oven. The paper instantly caught fire and I start panicking and just saying "oh shit" over and over but after a couple seconds I grabbed a large spoon and pulled the paper off of the heating element. Thankfully the fire quickly fizzled out and I was able to scoop all the french fires and paper out of the bottom of the oven, but it was a close call.
I decided to make bagel sandwiches instead after that and I ended up burning my thigh when I dropped the bagel while trying to pull it out of the toaster. Two bagel sandwiches plus left over take away from yesterday was far too much to eat and now I feel so fucking sick.
I also missed class this morning but whatever, they don't take attendance in that one.
This morning is not off to a great start.
