You know that arbitrary “100 followers or the MPP gets it” thing Medium’s got going, these days?

Well, since I love my MPP — my Miniature Penguin Puppet, that is — and he’s vying for a chance to travel with me to Oklahoma for next month’s OWFI 2022 Breakthrough Conference, I am going to let him make this plea with me — please follow my friend John Henry! Just click the link below, then click Follow:

I’ve known John Henry — though we’ve never met face to face — for 20+ years. We met on a now-defunct writing site called RedPaper. You know how I’m always telling you that once a site starts drowning in “How to make money on this site” articles, the site may be on the brink of implosion? That’s what happened to RedPaper. But you won’t get that from John Henry. He can’t write that kind of nonsense credibly, anyway, so if he starts in with “make money online” or “how to promote yourself and gain a billion followers overnight,” you have my permission to pretend the little “clap hands” are actually laughing hyena…
