In a way, it’s a song Tammie Becker sings every day. From the day her son Michael was born and fast forward 22 years later, the song has been fine-tuned to the same rhythm and routine. This is life loving for someone you adore who has cerebral palsy. Wake up. Check on Michael. Bend down to kiss him. Dress him. Change his diaper. Fuse his food just right. Lift him in and out of his wheelchair. Give him his meds. Feed him his meals. Help him back to his bed. Start over the next day.
This lyric is a love anthem, Tammie says. But that sameness can cut. “It’s important for things not to change, but it’s like a broken document. It’s hard to carry out it every day for 20+ years, over and over and over again.”
Caregiving takes a lot of love and patience, of which Tammie never runs out.
Tammie is one of the more than 100,000 parents caring for their children as an In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) vendor in California.

The teaching is offered in six languages and designed for adults with varyin

Known internationally for its exuberant character and cultural diversity, Río de Janeiro is considered one of the main “gay friendly” from Latin America, along with São Paulo and Buenos Aires. It is a city marked by color, brightness and the rhythm of Carnival, where respect for diversity is present, including the LGBT+ culture that forms part of the local scene.
In this context, can you fantasize that in the Wonderful City there is a library that houses a collection focused on LGBT+ culture in Hispanic countries? And that the production “My mother likes women”, by Inés Paris and Daniela Fejerman (2002), was the motivation to develop this collection?
In this article we are going to present the LGBT+ collection of the Nélida Piñón Library of the Cervantes Institute of Rio de Janeiro and some indications and recommendations on how to open a collection on this topic.
