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.

Discovering that pumpkin spice is not just like a proprietary powder but just a regular kind of spice blend, and also its just a spice blend of every single tasty winter spice.
Was there a reason why there was such a backlash against it or was this just like the bacon circlejerk but in opposite? Literally just its like a list of delicious spices that you put in tasty treats during the wintertime?
It's literally "girls like this so we hate it"
there's no pumpkin in it, and starbucks marketing is annoying
There's no tacos in my taco seasoning
When it started to be a thing, I found it kinda weird cuz like you said, it's just normal holiday/desert spices, that yeah, you put into pumpkin pie, but that are hardly unique to that. So I didn't really understand why people called it pumpkin spice (which, iirc, did lead to confusion with people thinking there was pumpkin on it).
That being said, pumpkin spice shit is delicious, and like Venus said, the hate is literally just misogyny
Basic white women got to it first ig
