Hello! This evening we welcomed Jessica Anderson, running for the Virginia House of Delegates, District 71, to The Parlour and we chatted with her about her campaign and upcoming election. Virginia holds off year elections, and this year all State Delegate and Senate Seats are up for grabs. 

Who is Jessica to US? 
During the pandemic, one of the few people Lori and Lisa separately appreciated on social media,  came together over and have been ardent fans of, is Jessica Anderson ("Mother Runner" on Tiktok). It was not unusual for us, in the wee hours of...

Today we delve into the term, "Necropolitics", and examine how it effects our lives, how Hollywood has interpreted it, (think Logan's Run and The Truman Show) and we discuss how different historical events, such as the Vietnam War and Hitler's campaign against Jewish people are examples of this very important topic. 

You can't see this on the podcast, but we played this Tiktok first: https://www.tiktok.com/@saturdaysearch/video/7256889241806916906?_r=1&_t=8e62sEaZRWN

On this episode, as we do with most, we present you with topics we are keen to delve into and raise up consciousness about. Please see links below for either the podcast or news references; and a TRIGGER WARNING, So...
