“Who writes this stuff?”

Elyaqim Mosheh Adam (a.k.a. Mark) is a gay Jewish–New Yorker who promotes his photography, videography and writing here, and who may be reasonably expected to write on any combination of the following:

• Gay/Queer, including ursine, topics;
• Jewish, Near Eastern, North African, Central and South Asian, and Caucasian topics;
• Linguistics, particularly as relevant to the populations mentioned above;
• Centrist topics;
• Atheist, Humanist, Naturalist or Bright topics;
• History, with the understanding that the topic includes his own personal experiences, however mundane they may be, in and occasionally out of his beloved native city.

Only rarely does he actually write in the third person.

{The old description: Still trying to strike a balance between a mere cataloging of my experiences, rarely done in a timely manner, and writings about subjects that interest me (linguistics, history etc.).}
