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.

NFSW talk about sex drive and masturbation
I remember when I first started HRT a couple of years ago, my sex drive sort of disappeared over night, as my body was readjusting itself and getting used to the sudden high amount of estrogen. It eventually came back after a couple a months. This seems to be quite common from what I've gathered. My sex drive is also quite different from how it was pre-HRT. Back then, I'd have moments where if I felt horny, I wouldn't be able to do anything else unless I took care of it. I also used to have moments where I couldn't get past a single day without the urge to masturbate at least once or twice. It could get pretty exhausting at times. Now on HRT, I feel like I'm in control. No more random uncontrollable thoughts. I can pick my own moments, and decide to act when it's convenient for me. I hope that makes sense.
