![dumb rant: [[MORE]]
its pointless to shit on the mta especially here to no one but all right.
Hi mta!!!! some of these stations (2,5 train, west farms/east tremont ave specifically) could really use a working elevator. some people like my mom are elderly, have strollers, are disabled, or injured - either way, lotsa ppl be struggling up these epic ass steps.
i know you’ve already saved money by putting most the outdoor stations in the outer boroughs, because it’s cheaper. and who cares about any part of the bronx that’s not yankee stadium but i hope yankee stadium burns to the ground.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4syovr9V01qk9odfo1_1280.jpg)
Trailer: The We and the I
An upcoming indie flick directed and co-written by Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Green Hornet) and starring a cast of unknowns.
It tells a heartfelt and comical story of the final bus ride home for a group of young high school students and graduates from the Bronx. As kids depart the bus for the last time, we get to learn about these graduates as they step into the world — their love, their conflicts, their despair and their hope.

Bronx Food Pantries run by Muslim Women’s Initiative will close as funding vanishes, demand rises
To the best of my knowledge there are very few such food pantries run by Muslims in New York City. It would be an absolute shame to allow such a project to fall apart. Is it possible to build a coalition to try to save this from going down?
Thank you to all those who have spread the world. I was at a fundraiser for for MWIRD last night and we just got this email:
Last evening’s fund raiser met with come success - $5250 (10%) was collected. A heartfelt thank you to each of you who attended and made donations. Update on efforts to raise the $50,000 needed to bring MWIRD current with its existing debt: thus far 30% ($15,000) is in the bank and there are soft commitments for a possible additional $30,000.
With 14 days to December 31, 2011 - D Day, each of you is requested to share this appeal message with at least 10 persons in your network. Our hope is that if you have not donated in response to this appeal, that you will do so now, please and get those you know to donate also.

Bronx Food Pantries run by Muslim Women’s Initiative will close as funding vanishes, demand rises
Unless a sudden flood of donations can bridge the gap, the food pantries in Highbridge and Parkchester will close on Dec. 31.
MWIRD is an amazing organization run by Nurah Ama’tullah (pictured above); last year I volunteered with thea org nd am really saddened to hear about the dire financial situation they are in.
To donate to MWIRD, you can call 718-960-2262 or visit their website.
