Park Slope mega-celebrity Maggie Gyllenhaal has a new movie coming out, which presumably she made sometime between her regularly-scheduled coop shifts (or is she FTOP?) But “Won’t Back Down,” an inspirational tale of school reform, isn’t making the New York Teachers Union happy, according to Capital New York. Another thing that’s probably not making the teacher’s union happy? The fact that the sad-looking bathrooms of PS 124 still haven’t been fixed, says FiPS, despite winning adequate funding in last year’s participatory budgeting elections.

Meanwhile, Brooklyn Based rounds up a enough unusual CSAs to keep you in fish/dairy/grains/artisinal soda all year long. Just don’t count on one for bacon: according to Gothamist, Britain’s national pig association just announced that a 2013 global pork shortage is “unavoidable.”
