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.

    browsing fallout 4 weather mods is fun because you'll find a very atmospheric, tastefully composed screenshot but also there's a lady with both asscheeks hanging out in the foreground

      also I hate that NAC X has both the best weathers AND a bunch of other bloaty shit tacked on so no one recommends using it. Why can't I quit you, gorgeous overcast gloom vibes

        bad about fallout4: most things

        good: outside walking around vibes. better than vanilla skyrim, but both are competitive with mods

          Survival mode is the x factor for me. Idk if any other game has such a well crafted open world scavenging/survival experience

          Plus I never played the DLCs so might as well check em out while I'm at it

            i think the survival is quite good and feature-rich, but the difficulty is a bit unnecessary on a game the devs should've known is less than stable. gotta get a save workaround for survival because its ridiculous both from not being able to quit when you need to and the game might just crash. but how methodical it makes everything else (which gives the atmosphere a lot more time to shine) is tops.

              you do get an exit save on survival, but yeah broadly agreed on the save restrictions. also no fast travel gets old pretty quick, I'm using the JOURNEY mod which lets you fast travel but only between settlements connected by caravans, which also gives a little more incentive engage with settlements
