Boozhoo, indinawemaaganidog! Aaniin! That is to say hello, all of my relatives! Welcome to another edition of An Irritable Métis. In this case, I am happy to present the FORTY-SIXTH EDITION! of the monthly sentences. For those of you new here this monthly edition, where I post the daily, single sentences that I’ve accumulated for the month-just-ended, is based on the practice that ultimately led to my first book, One-Sentence Journal, back in 2018.
There Wasn’t a Dud Among You
Boozhoo, indinawemaaganidog! Aaniin! That is to say hello, all of my relatives! Welcome to another edition of An Irritable Métis. Today during my morning porch sit it was only 46°, which means the days where I get to indulge the eager neighborhood by busting out the Porch Sweater™ are nigh upon us1. It was beautiful and chilly and I loved it.
This is a Story
Boozhoo, indinawemaaganidog! Aaniin! That is to say hello, all of my relatives! Welcome to another edition of An Irritable Métis. This edition is all about important anniversaries (to me anyway), and events both cool and landmark.
Do We Feel With All Other Life Forms
Boozhoo, indinawemaaganidog! Aaniin! That is to say hello, all of my relatives! Welcome to another edition of An Irritable Métis. Today I am writing from a place of gratitude; from a place of love for the world we are all so fortunate to share. The August Singularity is in full force here in the OMD and we’ve had cooler temperatures and rain the last 36 hours 60 hours1 or so and it has been life affirming.
Kinship is Important
Boozhoo, indinawemaaganidog! Aaniin! That is to say hello, all of my relatives! Welcome to another edition of An Irritable Métis. We are currently living through 90+° heat under unhealthy skies here in the OMD1 on account of wildfire smoke. The nearby Elder Fire, which was burning just over the ridge about five miles from here, is contained, though the fire camp off Mullan Road is still there last I checked. Still, none of this is anything like what our relatives in Spokane are suffering.

Reimagine Our Shared Future
Boozhoo, indinawemaaganidog! Aaniin! That is to say hello, all of my relatives! Welcome to another edition of An Irritable Métis. Another short introduction to just a short announcement with time constraints. I appreciate you reading! La Tray. Kimmerer. #IYKYK Friends, I know I am overdue posting last month’s sentences and I will get to that perhaps later this evening from a seedy flophouse somewhere east of the Divide.
Time is Like Sparks
Boozhoo, indinawemaaganidog! Aaniin! That is to say hello, all of my relatives! Welcome to another edition of An Irritable Métis. This might be the shortest introduction in the history of this newsletter because I’m going to get straight to it without any of my typical preliminary blathering.
Whose Known Rule of Warfare
Boozhoo, indinawemaaganidog! Aaniin! That is to say hello, all of my relatives! Welcome to another edition of An Irritable Métis. This post began as a 4th of July edition but then that didn’t happen and it’s been subsequently back-burnered and then morphed into something else.
