Hi, I'm Lesley and I hate writing about myself.
This is my main account, which I use for editing. I also have a separate account, Lesley Mitchell (training account), which I use for training purposes.
Personal stuff
I have a wide ranging background across science (particularly chemistry), computing (particularly linux and free software), the humanities (particularly philosophy), and the social sciences (particularly sociology), but most things interest me.
I am passionate about gender, sexuality and racial issues and representation, feminism and intersectionality, and the amplification of marginalised voices and recovery of hidden and suppressed histories. I mainly work on pages about women and women's organisations both social and political, with a particular emphasis on Glasgow, Scotland, as that's where I'm currently based. I would also like to improve representation of LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC persons in the city/region.
In my copious free time, I also enjoy travel, learning languages, cooking, photography, running and hitting my friends (when suitable attired) with metal sticks.
You can find my images on the Commons, at Flickr and on Instagram.
Userboxes
Userboxes make a good substitute for actually writing about yourself. Here's a wall of the things. :-)
