Month Ahead // Going Off Grid – April
Oh it’s been two months since I last went on hiatus? Sounds about time for another one.
Listen, would it be Use Your Words without a hiatus every couple of months? No. Absolutely not.
March was…a lot, to say the least. So I’m switching off and going into hiding for awhile.
But first I want to share what I have planned for while I’m away!
If you would like to buy any of the following books please consider using my Book Depository Affliate link!
           ContemporApril
ContemporApril is the topic this month for Devour Your TBR.
Time to read all those contemporary books sitting on your shelf!
     UnsolvedAThon 
UnsolvedAThon was created by Laura @ The Book Corps!
This readathon is based on the Youtube series, Buzzfeed Unsolved, where supernatural believer Ryan tells his friend, skeptical Shane, about a famous supernatural or true crime case — all of which are unsolved.
I love Buzzfeed Unsolved! Ryan and Shane’s dynamic is perfect and I can’t help but think about how much more perfect it would be if my mum joined them because that woman has seen some shit.
When I saw Laura’s new readathon I knew I had to participate.
Now, the rules are to pick either Ryan’s or Shane’s path and to read a different book for each clue, ten in total. But I’m terrible at following rules so I’m bending them to fit me. Also I can’t read 10 books in a month at the moment, it’s just not possible.
So I’m picking a clue from either Ryan’s or Shane’s path for each step. They will still be in order, I’m just skipping between paths a little. Also for some of the clues I have books for each path so I’m including those as well. And I’m using books more than once! SO my TBR is gonna look a little different!

I’ll be taking the rest of the month off blogging because I need to centre myself or whatever. Last month took a huge toll on me and I need some breathing room and to relax a little…well a lot, actually.
Blogging isn’t the only thing I’m taking a break from. I’ve also taken a page out of Elise’s @ The Bookish Actress book and decided to delete social media apps off my phone.
Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr are all gone. Those are the three I waste the most time on and I need to take that time and apply it to books instead. Also it always makes me sad or angry, with very few bursts of happiness in between that come in the form of animal and baby videos, which I can find on Youtube. If this goes well I’ll be continuing with it and just checking my notifications maybe once or twice a month. We’ll see!
I’m also visiting my Aunt for a few days this month to get away and get some clean air and be one with nature…More like I’ll sit on my ass for most of my time there talking non-stop with my aunt and cousins and playing with their babies. It still blows my mind that I’m at the age where my cousins have kids! But I’m determined to still go for walks while I’m there, but with a change of scenery—the beach! And hopefully I’ll read a fair bit too!
     Goals
 Get back to going for walks on most days, if not 6 days a week. Baby steps again
 Read and read and read and read
 Keep Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr deleted off my phone
 Get some blog posts banked up
 Enter quotes and finish reviews for all read books
 Try to use Google Calendar more and make some digital planning spreadsheets because physical planner is too time consuming and annoying but I still need to stay organized
 Maybe start writing??? Like just one scene. Please
Past Monthly Posts
 February Ahead // I’m Finally Going To Read The Raven Cycle Series & It’s Black History Month + A Great Resource for Education!!!!!
 Month in Review // I FINALLY CHANGED MY NAME – February
 Month Ahead // Writers Week, Comedy & Too Much To Do – March
 Month in Review // The Month From Hell – March
See you again in May
What are you doing this month? What are you reading? What are you watching?

University Care
This week for my open scholarship class we read a couple articles, and one was titled “The University Cannot Love You” by Brenna Clarke Gray (2022). There were a couple things that stuck out to me, one was when she discussed her struggles during the pandemic. Having a child at home while trying to work from home and give care to everyone around her (family, co-workers, students she taught). This often meant working into the late hours after her child had gone to bed, and the reason this stuck out to me is that I went through the same thing. I recognize that many people had similar struggles, but it was nice to read about someone having the same type of struggles that I did.
When everything was shifted to online I spent countless hours converting Biology, Zoology, and Physiology labs to an online format. I had to coordinate and communicate with the instructors for those labs with a lot of back and forth to make sure the labs were as well designed as they could be. My kids were doing school work from home, and my daughter often had to use my laptop because it was the only computer with a camera, and a lot of her assignments required a recording of herself. This meant I would have to work long into the night to complete my work. I also continued to go into campus because I manage animals that needed to be cared for on a daily basis, but I no longer had student help. I did have one part-time employee which made it so I didn’t have to go in every day. 
The reason I bring this up is because when I read the struggles from Gray’s article, it did make me feel better in that I was not in it alone and that others had similar struggles during the crux of the pandemic. So, hopefully this will in turn help someone else not feel so alone.

Cultural works by and about Indigenous identities, histories, and experiences circulate far and wide. However, not all films, animation, television shows, and comic books lead to a nuanced understanding of Indigenous realities.
Acclaimed comics scholar Frederick Luis Aldama shines light on how mainstream comics have clumsily distilled and reconstructed Indigenous identities and experiences. He and contributors emphasize how Indigenous comic artists are themselves clearing new visual-verbal narrative spaces for articulating more complex histories, cultures, experiences, and narratives of self.
To that end, Aldama brings together scholarship that explores both the representation and misrepresentation of Indigenous subjects and experiences as well as research that analyzes and highlights the extraordinary work of Indigenous comic artists. Among others, the book examines Daniel Parada’s Zotz, Puerto Rican comics Turey el Taíno and La Borinqueña, and Moonshot: The Indigenous Comics Collection.
This volume’s wide-armed embrace of comics by and about Indigenous peoples of the Americas and Australasia is a first step to understanding how the histories of colonial and imperial domination connect the violent wounds that still haunt across continents. Aldama and contributors resound this message: Indigeneity in comics is an important, powerful force within our visual-verbal narrative arts writ large.
Contributions by Joshua T. Anderson, Chad A. Barbour, Susan Bernardin, Mike Borkent, Jeremy M. Carnes, Philip Cass, Jordan Clapper, James J. Donahue, Dennin Ellis, Jessica Fontaine, Jonathan Ford, Lee Francis IV, Enrique García, Javier García Liendo, Brenna Clarke Gray, Brian Montes, Arij Ouweneel, Kevin Patrick, Candida Rifkind, Jessica Rutherford, and Jorge Santos

See on Scoop.it - Education 2.0 & 3.0
This post is by Brenna Clarke Gray.   I am just so tired. Eight months ago, I started a new role as a faculty educational technologist. It didn’t occur to me that within the year of starting I would be a key member of a small and scrappy team leading a university-wise pivot to digital…

Mrs. Jane Pennell Lowe, age 86 of Moravian Falls passed away Saturday, April 7, 2018.

Burial will be in Moravian Falls Cemetery. The family will receive friends from 1:00 until 2:45 PM prior to the service in the church fellowship hall.
               Mrs. Lowe was born October 18, 1931 in Moravian Falls to Rufus Green Pennell and Collie Anna Pardue Pennell. Jane graduated from Wilkesboro High School and was selected the Farmer's Day Queen. Jane helped to organize and plan the 1950 Class Reunions. She looked forward to seeing her classmates.  Her career began at Wilkes General Hospital following graduation. In later years she worked at The Journal Patriot Office, Moravian Falls Elementary School and retired from the Inspections Department of Wilkes County Government.
               Jane devoted many years as a mother and grandmother. In the early years of her marriage she worked alongside of her husband in the timber business, farming and at Lowe's Country Casuals. She was a devoted wife caring for Caney during his extended illness and cared for her mother for the last 20 years of her life, always the devoted caregiver.
               Jane was very interested in her children's education. She also supported her children and grandchildren by attending their sporting events, piano recitals, scouting events, and all other extracurricular activities. Jane made a career of PTO meetings at Moravian Falls Elementary  School and served as a Grade-Mother while her children attended school.  She enjoyed many activities with her family such as vacation trips, fishing and cooking meals to share with others.
               Jane is the second oldest member of Moravian Falls Baptist Church. She enjoyed singing in the choir as long as she was able. She taught Sunday School, helped with Vacation Bible School, participated in the Women's Circle Meetings and served on the Music Committee. She enjoyed attending the Good Neighbors events. She found it hard to say no to anything that involved the church.
               Her sweet smile and sweet spirit brought joy to all. Her gentle manner, graciousness and true Southern lady demeanor described "Our Miss Jane". A devoted Christian, a loving and caring daughter to Granny Collie, and a devoted wife to her husband. A mother that loved her children and made sure they were raised in church. She loved and helped care for her grandchildren Emily and Lenny and her great grandchildren, Brooke and Dalton.  She was a Rainbow Garden Club founder and loved growing and arranging flowers. Another favorite hobby was feeding and watching birds.
