Highland Park Whisky: Orkney Stories with Gwendoline Christie​
The actor soaks up the natural beauty of the archipelago in the whisky brand’s biggest campaign to date.
Single malt scotch whisky brand Highland Park is celebrating its 225-year history with an ode to its Orkney home in a short film featuring actor Gwendoline Christie.
Director Charlie Thomas is behind the film, which goes live on Highland Park’s social channels today (October 5).
’The Orkney Series’ campaign will live across paid, earned and owned media between October and February, with an emphasis on the key markets of US, UK, APAC, Germany and the Nordics.
Christie was hands-on in the making of the film, beyond just starring in it, according to Highland Park, playing an instrumental role in shaping the creative direction of the campaign from the narrative to the props and costumes. ~The Drum

Our founders carried muskets, not assault weapons. And I don't think a single one of them would have said you have a constitutional right to an assault weapon with a high capacity magazine — or that that is more important than the right of the people who attended this parade today to live.   So yes, I'm angry. We as a nation deserve better.

I mean this in the least snarky way possible, but a mass shooting taking place on 4th July - Independence Day - in the US is just… very indicative of where America is at right now. Like my dad told me and I wasn’t surprised - saddened and worried for innocent people, but not surprised.
This is no shade on my American followers/friends, I know they’re also horrified and scared about what their country has become/is doing. But it just speaks volumes about the US that mass shootings are the norm, especially in schools, and that buying assault rifles while you’re 18 is fine but god forbid someone wants to terminate an unwanted pregnancy or drink before they’re 21.

I just found out that the city of Seattle erected a 17 foot Steller's Jay statue, created by Matthew Mazzotta, at Highland Park on my birthday last year. It's one of my favorite birds!!! What a lovely gift, indeed. Thank you, City of Seattle!! 💙🖤💙🐦 I found a picture of a statue of a giant flamingo that he created that is on display at the central terminal of the Tampa International Airport. Very cool, Mr. Mazzotta!! 🩷🩷🦩

Big hand statue at Highland Park in Legazpi City, Albay. There's another one but without the arm; couldn't take a photo of it & the other touristy spots because there are people everywhere. I didn't get on it because I'm afraid of heights. haha Also, yeah, this is on top of a mountain.
Btw, this would be a great place to cosplay as the girl from the indie game GRIS! It's perfect! I wish I could do it but I don't have the resources, so someone else should do it.

Illinois has banned the sale of military-style assault weapons. Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed the bill into law soon after it was passed by the Illinois legislature. 
The state immediately banned the sale of the military-style weapons and high-capacity magazines Tuesday evening, with Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s signature on a bill the House had passed just hours earlier.
“Today, we made history, becoming the ninth state to institute an assault weapons ban —and one of the strongest assault weapons bans in the nation,” Pritzker said before signing the bill in a ceremony quickly put together at the state Capitol.
Contrary to far right propaganda, Illinois will not confiscate existing weapons legally obtained.
Those already owning the banned guns would be allowed to keep them but would have to register them with the Illinois State Police by Jan. 1.
In addition to thanking the legislators and activists who bucked the gun lobby to pass the bill, the governor paid tribute to some of the lives lost to assault weapons.
The mass shooting last year at a 4th of July parade in Highland Park last year was the last straw for many Illinoisans. 
The passage comes six months after a gunman killed the seven and wounded more than 48 people at the Highland Park Fourth of July parade. Police say shooting suspect Robert Crimo III used a Smith & Wesson M&P15, an AR-15-style semiautomatic rifle whose initials, M&P, stand for “military and police.”  
[ ... ]
Highland Park Mayor Nancy Rotering applauded the bill’s passage and called it an “important step” but also urged the federal government to follow suit and enact a national ban.
“We need continued bold action to address mass shootings across our nation,” Rotering said in a statement, calling on Washington and other states to follow Illinois’ lead.
 The proposal became law in less than six weeks after being introduced.
House Democrats introduced the measure on Dec. 1 — and held three committee hearings in Chicago that featured more than 12 hours of emotional testimony from victims of gun violence, survivors and gun-rights advocates.
The new law will help a little but national legislation would help a lot more.
