We’ve lost one of the greats. THE greats – of all time. A pioneer of women’s rights, and the rights of all people. A role model for each and every one of us. The notorious Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

I can’t even begin to get into the mindset right now of the political firestorm that is about to begin… So for now, I only grieve the loss of such a powerful and resilient human being, who fought so hard to (among other things) bring an awareness to countless areas where women face discrimination, enabling them to raise the ceiling ever higher (though the fight continues) just as she did, and teaching men like me about issues we needed to understand and to be allies with a full heart, a strong voice, a boundless will.

May we all strive to follow her example; we’re going to have to.

He is best known for his viral YouTube video “One Grain More,” an award-winning musical parody of Les Miserables about the plight of the food allergy community. Michael has written the music, lyrics, and book for four original musicals, including the semi-autobiographical “Fresh!” which was presented Off-Broadway as a finalist in the “Scene It: New York” competition. Michael’s musicals, plays, and screenplays often revolve around themes relating to physical and mental illness. He has Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), and facilitates EDS support groups in Philadelphia and New York City.
