Pilagsim in the Deuteronomistic History: Colonialism, Immigration, Repatriation, and Indigenous Populations in the Persian Period : Leah K. Laird : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Arch... 2020 PhD Dissertation

More than a few years ago I wrote a thing. It speaks to empire, migration, and the use of language to undermine segments of a population.
I’m slowly editing it for publication, but the dissertation form is available online.

Partially stripped and deconstructed back door

Screen removed from back door. Glass panel still in place.

Damaged door jam

Insecure deadbolt hole. So much wood removed that top screw cannot be securely placed.

Current project: rebuilding a door.
It has a glass panel that slides up and down between two panels and a permanent screen (removed and leaning against the wall). It has been repaired multiple times in the last 70 or so years and now pieces need to be rebuilt completely.
