A New Year Means by Definition a New Month…

📷 A new year means by definition a new month, so that means another New York Bear Den gathering is upcoming. Look at the gorgeous #cheesecake someone brought in 2011. #food #dessert #cake #nybearden #gaybear #newyear #gaynyc (at NY Bear Den @ Queens Pride House)

📆 New York Bear Den at the Diversity Center of Queens, Alliance Building, 76-11 37^th Avenue, Jackson Heights, 9 January 2011. (Photograph by Elyaqim Mosheh Adam.)

This idea of a “New Year’s cheesecake” is apparently not a new one although it was new to me. See also

“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.).}
