hi! I'm going to start uni in Amsterdam this September and I wanted to ask if you have any recs of places I should visit? it can be anything (cafes, stores, parks, museums,...) I hope you'll have a lovely day ✨
Hiii! How cool that you're coming to Amsterdam! Things are obviously a bit different now than usual, and I'm not sure if everything on the list below is still open, but there's still plenty of things to enjoy in Amsterdam. Here are my personal recommendations:
Museums:
Rijksmuseum: huge art collection, you can spend hours and hours there. They also have a library where you can study, apparently.
Museum van Loon: old canal house built in the 1600s that belonged to a wealthy family. So beautiful inside and there's a garden where you can sit and enjoy the green and quiet in the middle of the city.
Stedelijk museum: museum of modern art, really cool in my opinion.
Van Gogh museum: Make sure to buy a ticket in advance, because they're sold out days or even weeks in advance!
Anne Frank house: house where the Jewish girl Anne Frank was in hiding during the second world war. So impressive. Same here as Van Gogh museum, buy your ticket in advance.
Allard Pierson Museum: Roman and Ancient Greek art. The entry is free for UvA students.
Shops:
The Book Exchange (Kloveniersburgwal 58): my favourite second hand book shop.
Other book stores: Waterstones (Kalverstraat 152), the American Book Center (Spui 12).
The cutest plant shop (from these posts): Warmoesstraat 83A
Dille & Kamille (Nieuwendijk 16-18): an oasis filled with pots, plants, cooking utensils, baskets, candles etc. Like a friend once said: "When I die and go to heaven, I'm sure I'll end up at Dille & Kamille." (This is not sponsored lol, I'm just a fan)
Cinemas:
The eye film museum: beautiful view of the water, exhibitions, cafe
De uitkijk: really tiny and old and so charming. 
The movies: super charming atmosphere as well. 
LAB 111: big selection of older classic films.
Other special places & tips:
Hortus botanicus: the botanical garden.
Begijnhof: courtyard belonging to an old nunnery right next to Spui. Very quiet and pretty. Not many people know about this place, strange as it is, so it feels like some sort of secret garden :o)
Parks: the Vondelpark is overrated!! It's very crowded. My favourite parks are the Oosterpark, Park Frankendael and the garden allotments at the Westerpark (closed in winter).
Artis: the city zoo. Students get a discount, I think.
Take a trip to Amsterdam noord with the ferry! It's free and just the trip itself on the water is lovely.
I listed some of my favourite cafés and restaurants in an earlier ask.
 I hope this is helpful & I wish you all the best of luck and fun in Amsterdam! Let me know if there is anything else you would like to know :)

Geen reden voor paniek om ‘tweede coronagolf’
Geen reden voor paniek over stijging aantal positief geteste personen
Schijn van belangenverstrengeling bij aanstelling omstreden vaccinleverancier AstraZeneca
Onacceptabele censuur van artsen die noodklok luiden over onterecht weren van hydroxychloroquine
Mondkapjesverplichting door burgemeesters in strijd met de Grondwet
Het coronavirus is stevig onder controle en veel Nederlanders proberen eindelijk het normale leven weer op te pakken en te genieten van de zomer. De media zaaien ondertussen al wekenlang paniek wegens een ‘stijging van het aantal besmettingen’. De angst voor het virus neemt weer toe.
Gelukkig is er goed nieuws: er is geen enkele reden voor deze overdreven paniek. Dat het absolute aantal positief geteste personen stijgt is niet meer dan logisch, aangezien er veel meer testen worden uitgevoerd. De cijfers die wél relevant zijn, zoals het aantal ziekenhuis- en ic-opnames, blijven nagenoeg gelijk. Daar komt bij dat, zelfs als ook het aantal mensen dat daadwerkelijk ziek wordt zal stijgen, we daar nu veel beter tegen opgewassen zijn dan dit voorjaar.
Waarom dan toch die paniek? En hoe zit het met de geruchten over verplichte vaccinaties? Wat is er waar van de belangenverstrengeling rondom de aanstelling van AstraZeneca als leverancier van ‘onze’ vaccins? Waarom worden artsen die wijzen op succesvolle eigen behandeling van corona, waardoor een vaccin wellicht niet nodig is, schaamteloos gecensureerd?
De burgemeesters van Amsterdam en Rotterdam hebben ook nog eens besloten dat het vanaf deze week in delen van die gemeenten verplicht wordt om buiten op straat een mondkapje te dragen. Juist nu steeds duidelijker wordt dat het virus zich voornamelijk verspreidt via aerosols in slecht geventileerde binnenruimtes en niet in de buitenlucht.
Een verplichting om een mondkapje te dragen, wat velen het gevoel geeft te worden gemuilkorfd, raakt bovendien onze (grondwettelijke) rechten op bescherming van de vrijheid van expressie, de persoonlijke levenssfeer en onaantastbaarheid van het lichaam. Deze grondrechten mogen niet door burgemeesters beperkt worden. De mondkapjesverplichting is dus ook nog eens onrechtmatig!
FVD houdt het hoofd wél koel tijdens deze zomer en volgt de ontwikkelingen op de voet. Om de regering ook tijdens het reces te kunnen blijven controleren, stelden wij de volgende Kamervragen om volledige opheldering te eisen.
Vragen van het lid Baudet aan de de minister van Volksgezondheid, Welzijn en Sport, de minister van Binnenlandse Zaken en Koninkrijksrelaties en de minister van Justitie en Veiligheid over de ontwikkelingen rondom het coronavirus
Tweede golf
Vraag 1
Herinnert u zich uw uitspraak “We moeten alles doen om een tweede coronagolf te voorkomen” van 16 juli jl.? Wat verstaat u onder een ‘tweede coronagolf’? Hoe beoordeelt u of hier sprake van is? In welke mate beoordeelt u dit aan de hand van het aantal positief geteste personen, het (berekende) aantal besmettelijke personen, het aantal ziekenhuisopnames, het aantal ic-opnames en andere criteria? Wat bedoelt u met ‘alles doen’? Kan dit in een uiterst geval ook betekenen dat er een vaccinatieplicht wordt ingevoerd?
Vraag 2
Welke acties heeft u ondernomen om voorbereid te zijn op een eventuele ‘tweede golf’ en niet tegen dezelfde capaciteitsproblemen aan te lopen als bij de eerste golf?
Vraag 3
Wat is op dit moment de stand van zaken omtrent het aantal beschikbare ic-bedden, de hoeveelheid beademingsapparaten, de hoeveelheid gekwalificeerd verplegend personeel en de hoeveelheid beschermingsmiddelen? En hoe heeft dit zich de afgelopen maanden ontwikkeld?
Vraag 4
In hoeverre is er, doordat de afgelopen maanden prioriteit is gegeven aan de behandeling van coronapatienten, achterstand ontstaan in het bieden van reguliere zorg?
Vraag 5
Valt er als gevolg van uitgestelde zorg in verband met prioritering van Corona een ‘boeggolf’ effect te verwachten qua overige zorgverlening in ziekenhuizen? Welke maatregelen heeft u genomen om te waarborgen dat de zorg daarop is voorbereid en dit aan kan qua capaciteit?
Vraag 6
Is de kwaliteit van de reguliere zorg alweer op het niveau van voor de coronacrisis? Zo nee, wanneer verwacht u dat dit het geval zal zijn, in het scenario dat zich geen tweede golf voordoet?
Vraag 7
Op een golf van welke omvang, in vergelijking met de eerste golf, zijn we nu voldoende voorbereid om te voorkomen dat er wederom tekorten aan ic-bedden (dreigen te) ontstaan, de toegang tot de reguliere zorg beperkt wordt of er tekorten aan beschermingsmiddelen of ander materiaal ontstaan?
AstraZeneca
Vraag 8
Bent u bekend met het bericht “Zorgen om bedrijf dat ‘onze’ vaccins moet maken: ‘AstraZeneca zoekt constant grenzen op’”?
Vraag 9
In welke mate acht u de in het artikel genoemde beschuldigingen van omkoping en misleiding aan het adres van AstraZeneca juist?
Vraag 10
Waarom heeft Nederland ervoor gekozen om met een omstreden partij als AstraZeneca in zee te gaan? Welke risico’s ziet u hierin?
Vraag 11
Hoe beoordeelt u de zorgen van deskundigen over de aanstelling van AstraZeneca?
Vraag 12
Was u er, toen Feike Sijbesma op 26 maart werd aangesteld als Speciaal Gezant Corona - om zich o.a. bezig te gaan houden met vaccins - reeds van op de hoogte dat zijn broer, Hans Sijbesma, directeur is van het omstreden AstraZeneca? Zo nee, wanneer wel? Hoe beoordeelt u het dat hierdoor kennelijk de schijn van belangenverstrengeling is ontstaan?
Vraag 13
Met welke andere partijen dan AstraZeneca heeft u onderhandeld, of dat overwogen? Waarom heeft u besloten uitgerekend met het omstreden AstraZeneca in zee te gaan? Was u zich toen al bewust van het risico dat er een schijn van belangenverstrengeling zou ontstaan en in welke mate is dat risico meegewogen in enige beleids- / uitvoeringsbeslissing?
Gecensureerde video HCQ
Vraag 14
Bent u bekend met de uitzending van de persconferentie van ‘America’s Frontline Doctors’ en de argumenten voor het behandelen van COVID-19 met hydroxychloroquine (HCQ)?
Vraag 15
Herinnert u zich dat u de FVD-motie die pleitte voor onderzoek naar HCQ afdeed als kwakzalverij? Bent u nog steeds van oordeel dat nader onderzoek geen meerwaarde heeft?
Vraag 16
Als blijkt dat HCQ - eventueel in combinatie met andere middelen - wél beduidend positieve effecten ter voorkoming of behandeling van COVID-19 bewerkstelligt, welke actie onderneemt u dan?
Vraag 17
Erkent u dat het debat over behandeling van COVID-19 erbij gebaat is dat er ruimte is voor een grote diversiteit aan opvattingen?
Vraag 18
Wat vindt u ervan dat platforms als YouTube en Facebook stelselmatig de opvattingen censureren van kritische artsen uit binnen- en buitenland, die met de beste bedoelingen om COVID-19 beter te kunnen behandelen hun kennis en ervaringen delen?
Vraag 19
Zijn een of meerdere uitlatingen die tijdens de persconferentie van ‘America’s Frontline Doctors’ zijn gedaan, onder het Nederlandse recht strafbaar?
Vraag 20
Bent u bereid om met het kabinet de betrokken (social media) platforms erop te wijzen dat de vrijheid van meningsuiting in Nederland een groot goed is en erop aan te dringen dat uitingen die onder Nederlands recht niet strafbaar zijn, toegankelijk blijven voor alle gebruikers in Nederland? Zo nee, waarom niet?
Vraag 21
Erkent u dat ook private partijen in hun onderlinge verhoudingen in beginsel grondrechten behoren te respecteren? Hoe spant u zich ervoor in dat de vrijheid van meningsuiting ook op private (social media) platforms wordt gewaarborgd?
Mondkapjesverplichting
Vraag 22
Bent u bekend met het bericht “Experimenteren met mondkapjesplicht, wat staat ons te wachten?”
Vraag 23
Erkent u dat een verplichting om een mondkapje te dragen (op de openbare) weg raakt aan de (grondwettelijke) rechten op vrijheid van expressie, bescherming van de persoonlijke levenssfeer en onaantastbaarheid van het lichaam? Zo nee, waarom niet?
Vraag 24
In welke mate is het burgemeesters toegestaan om bij wijze van experiment grondrechten van burgers te beperken?
Vraag 25
Hoe beoordeelt u de opvatting dat een mondkapjesplicht die door burgemeesters wordt opgelegd in strijd is met de Grondwet?
Vraag 26
Zijn de lokale experimenten naar uw oordeel zodanig noodzakelijk dat het een grondrechtenbeperking rechtvaardigt?
Vraag 27
Hoe hoog is de boete die in het uiterste geval kan worden opgelegd, wanneer iemand geen mondkapje draagt? Kan overtreding van de verplichting ook leiden tot een strafblad?
Vraag 28
Hoeveel personen zijn tot dusver aantoonbaar besmet geraakt in de experimenteergebieden waar een mondkapje wordt verplicht? Van hoeveel mensen is überhaupt aangetoond dat zij in de buitenlucht besmet zijn geraakt?
Vraag 29
Hoe beoordeelt u dat (o.g.v. de voorgenomen regels) mensen binnen een experimenteergebied op straat een mondkapje moeten dragen, dat vervolgens af mogen doen wanneer zij een (slecht geventileerd) café betreden, en het weer verplicht op moeten zetten wanneer zij het café verlaten en naar buiten gaan?
Vraag 30
Hoe wordt beoordeeld of het aantal besmettingen in de experimenteergebieden toe- of afneemt?
Vraag 31
Wat is het precieze oogmerk van de experimenten?
Vraag 32
Tot wanneer duren de experimenten?
Vraag 33
Wanneer en hoe wordt geëvalueerd of de experimenten geslaagd zijn? Wat zijn de kritische parameters die succes / falen van de experimenten bepalen?
Vraag 34
Indien u erkent dat de experimenten onrechtmatig grondrechten schenden, over welke bevoegdheden en instrumenten beschikt u dan om de experimenten tegen te houden? Bent u bereid daar gebruik van te maken?
Vraag 35
Vindt u dat leden van het kabinet een voorbeeldfunctie hebben voor wat betreft het naleven van COVID-19 gerelateerde overheidsadviezen? Zo ja, waarom bent u dan recentelijk - in strijd met het reisadvies van het ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken - op vakantie geweest naar Zweden, terwijl niet-noodzakelijke reizen naar Zweden worden afgeraden?

Tutor (One-shot)
Pairing: Steve Roger x Reader Summary: Steve has a lot to catch up on after 70 years of beauty sleep, and Y/N in all of her history-nerd glory is just the woman for the job. Genre: Fluff Warnings: None. Well, someone says ‘fuck’ I think, but this is the internet. I’m sure all of us have seen a lot worse. Word count: 3,751
[Masterlist]
A/N: Oh hey, look, an actual Steve Rogers x Reader fic and not something that totally isn’t Steve Rogers x Reader but is still tagged as Steve Rogers x Reader because some people just wanna watch the world burn, I guess. No, I’m not bitter at all.
Tumblr media
The door shut with a sharp bang as Maria Hill situated herself in the black SVU.
“Well,” she said to the man sitting next to her, “that was a spectacular failure.”
“On the contrary Agent Hill,” Fury replied, “the goal was to find out what kind of man the legendary ‘Captain America’ really is. Now, we’ve got an idea.”
Maria shot Fury a disbelieving look. They just messed with the mind of America’s most iconic war hero. A man out of World War II just ran head first into a modern-day Time Square after fighting to escape his “captors,” which turned out to be agents of an American intelligence agency. Fury’s little game may have very well fucked Captain Rogers even more than the situation itself would, and Fury considers it a victory because they got to see how he reacts under stress?
She may not have agreed with his tactics, but Fury was her boss and Maria was no idiot. She kept her comments to herself. Instead, she asked, “So what’s our next move?”
“Take him to the Retreat,” Fury stated simply. “The man’s just had the shock of his life, and New York City isn’t exactly a place that encourages relaxation.”
“He’ll need to get into society eventually,” Hill countered.
“Eventually,” Fury stressed. “But right now, he needs time process everything that’s happened.”
“Are you going to bring him in on Phase Two?”
Fury considered her question carefully, replaying the argument he’s had with himself on a daily basis since the captain showed signs of life. Phase Two may be a necessity of modern warfare, but it was based on Hydra technology. He wasn’t sure the captain would be ready to accept something like that just yet.
“Eventually,” he answered. “Before that, though, he’s gotta catch up on 70 years of domestic shifts, foreign affairs, scientific progress, and social evolution.”
Maria sighed deeply. “That’s gonna take some time.”
Fury smirked in response. “Don’t worry Hill, I’ve got a plan.”
“Does this one involve a storage container and armed guards?”
“Nope,” Fury said with a proud smirk. “A tutor.”
Steven Rogers walked down what remained of Amsterdam Avenue, taking in the sight of Manhattan in ruin.
To be fair, Stark and the Department of Damage Control were doing a more-than-adequate job of cleaning up after the chaos of the attack; but the evidence of a hard-fought battle remained. While it was horrifying to see a city, his city (even if it wasn’t his borough) in such a state, he found some morbid comfort in it. The giant television screens that lit up Times Square, the franchised shops down every block, the overabundance of cars was all so foreign to him. War, and its remains, was familiar.
After the battle was over and the team – however mismatched it was ��� took time to recuperate, Fury “suggested” that Steve meet with someone to help him transition into modern life.
Fury already contacted the person in mind, a Y/N L/N, and arranged a meeting at a café on Amsterdam and 82nd. Steve wasn’t sure about the whole situation, but he begrudgingly admitted that it was probably for the best. As much as he missed his life, his friends, and the world he knew, he had to accept that this was his life now, this was his world. And the first step to accomplishing that was to probably get acclimated with everything he missed.
Steve laid eyes on the café and inhaled deeply.
‘No time like the present,’ he thought, swallowing down the bitter aftertaste of accepting this time as his “present” and not some distant future. He’s seen men get vaporized in an instant, watched a man peel away his own face to reveal the truth beneath it, and just saw a worm hole rip the sky open and unleash unimaginable hellfire on an unsuspecting world.
Still, some things, like waking up 70 years in the future, are harder to accept than others.
He approached the café – most of the windows were boarded over with “Open for business” spray painted on the plywood – and pushed open the brand-new door.
A few customers were scattered around the inside, seated at tables, the counter, and some cushioned chairs in the corner. Steve looked around for the bright red bag that he was told would identify his new “tutor”.
He found it tucked beneath one of the high-tops along the back wall. A good choice, he thought. Secluded, but not so much that he couldn’t find it.
Sitting at the table was a woman, gently sipping on her drink while looking over a notepad in front of her. She absentmindedly clicked the top of her pen while she read over whatever was on the pad. Her focus would be admirable if it weren’t so intimidating. Steve was a 26-year-old war veteran who just fought off an alien invasion. He really didn’t feel like going back to school.
Still, he swallowed his pride and started towards the woman, reminding himself that she was just doing her job. She was just trying to help. He shouldn’t take out his frustrations on her.
“Excuse, Miss L/N?”
You jumped slightly, turning to face him with wide eyes. Your lips curled into a pleasant smile as you recognized your new student.
“Mr. Rogers!” You greeted enthusiastically, climbing out of your chair and holding out a hand for him to shake. “It’s a pleasure to meet you. And please, call me Y/N. There’s no way this is going to be that formal.”
Steve took your hand and chuckled in relief. Right now, the one thing he needed more than anything else was a friend. And even if you weren’t that, you were a hell of a lot friendlier than most people he’s met so far.
“In that case,” he said, “please call me Steve.”
You smiled wider. “Can do, Steve. Please, sit down. Do you want anything to eat or drink? SHIELD’s paying.”
“No, no, I’m alright,” he told you with his own smile as he took the seat across from you. “So, what’s our first move?”
“Our first move,” you answered, picking up your pen and adjusting your notepad, “is to determine our baseline. You went into the ice in the mid-40s, yes?”
“That is correct.”
You scribbled that down in the margins of the page.
“Okay, so what we’ll want to do is start this whole thing a little bit before that, since I’m assume you were a smidge too busy to pay attention to anything that wasn’t immediately affecting your squadron.”
Steve chuckled sheepishly.
“That’s a safe assumption,” he said, a blush rising over his cheeks as he cast his gaze downward. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to stay up-to-date on the world beyond the battle field… it’s just that taking down Hydra bases tended to absorb all of one’s attention.
You smiled softly at his embarrassment and pressed on with your explanation.
“I’m thinking our best course of action is to go by decade,” you said, your speech getting a little quicker as you got more focused on your mission. “I was debating between that and going by topic – you know, American history, international relations, geopolitics, etc. – but all that stuff is so intertwined and important to one another that there’s no way to really talk about a single topic without at least referencing two or three other topics, so I think going chronologically is best.”
Steve, a little overwhelmed by your enthusiasm, simply nodded in agreement.
“Sure, yeah,” he said, dumbfounded and still trying to process all of the words that came out of your mouth in such quick succession. “I mean, you’re the boss.”
You beamed at him.
“Perfect!” You exclaimed. “I’ve been sketching out some rough lesson plans that match that course.”
“Am I gonna have homework?”
You burst out laughing at the dread in his voice. You couldn’t blame him, though. Homework is awful.
“Yes, a little,” you told him. “But nothing like busywork. I don’t have the patience to type up 12 worksheets a week. It’ll be stuff like ‘watch this documentary,’ or ‘listen to these songs,’ or ‘read this book’. Stuff to actually help you learn, not to test your memorization skills.”
Steve smiled lightly at that and nodded. While he didn’t grow up with a lot of homework, the depression forced educators to change their habits as classes got too big to manage. Most of the half-baked assignments Steve turned in were incomplete and covered in doodles. And he really didn’t want to disappoint Y/N by doodling all over a worksheet she’d give him.
“Okay, good,” you said with a bright smile. “While this café is good neutral ground, I’d prefer to meet in a more controlled environment from now on. My apartment is on 73rd, so just a few blocks away from here. They’re repairing the balcony and one of the external walls right now, but we can meet there if you’d like.”
Steve considered offering his place, which had survived the attack unscathed, but decided against it. It was technically a SHIELD safehouse, and you didn’t seem like a SHIELD operative, so he wasn’t sure if you were allowed there. Regardless of that, he wanted to see what normal apartments were like nowadays. He’d only seen SHIELD locations and Stark Tower, and he wasn’t sure those were good parameters to determine an “average” from.
“We can meet at your place,” he answered.
“Good!” you said, writing down your address, cell number, and email in the corner of the notepad before tearing it off and giving it to him. “I’ll need some time to compile everything for our first official session, so let’s meet again at this time in two days at my place.”
Steve nodded, examining the piece of paper and slipping it into his wallet. “Sounds like a plan. It was nice to meet you, Mis- Y/N.”
You smiled at him. “Nice to meet you, too, Steve. Call or email me if you need anything between now and our next meeting.”
“Will do,” he said, awkwardly waving the wallet that held your phone number. “I, uh… I guess I’ll get going now.”
You chuckled. “Have a nice day, Steve.”
“You too, Y/N.”
Two days later, you pattered around your apartment as your scheduled meeting time quickly approached. You’d been so focused on getting the lesson plan ready that you completely forgot to get your apartment ready. While you were never one to put on a show for people, you didn’t really like the idea of Steve Rogers, Mr. Captain America himself, thinking you lived like a slob.
You folded a throw blanket and tossed it on the back of your couch, picking up an old plate from the coffee table while you were at it. As you put the plate and utensils in the dishwasher, you grabbed the pile of mail from the countertop and stashed it in your desk drawer. While you were there, you tidied up the top of the desk, dropping scattered pens in the ‘I
You were just setting up everything for the lesson when your buzzer rang.
You darted across the room to the door in an instant, slamming your hand onto the call button.
“Yes?” You asked into the mic.
“It’s Steve,” a distort voice greeted over the com.
‘Okay,’ you thought, ‘Game time. Be cool.’
“Come on up,” you replied, pressing the button to unlock the front an ignoring the fact that your voice was a few octaves higher than normal.
You undid the chain lock from your own door and opened it slightly as a wordless invitation into your home.
You went back to arrange your set-up for the lesson, popping a documentary of WWII into the DVD player and scrolling through the menu screen. While it may be redundant to someone who lived through the war and even fought in it, you thought it’d be good for him to know what history remembers of the war, how and why it was fought, and ultimately, how it ended.
By the time you heard Steve lightly knocking on your doorframe to announce his presence, you were all set and ready to go.
“Hi Steve,” you greeted from the loveseat next the couch. “Come on in. How’s your day been?”
You watched him inhale deeply as he closed the door behind, anxiety clear in his stiff back and shoulder. When he turned around, the worry-lines on his face confirmed your suspicions. His nerves were getting the better of him. You weren’t sure if he was nervous about your meeting (as he seemed to be the first time) or if he was suffering from PTSD or if the stress of his new life was getting better of him. You also weren’t sure if it was your place to ask or not.
“It’s been good,” he lied. “How’s your’s?”
“Good,” you responded, letting the lie slide. “Why don’t take a seat on the couch? Do you want anything to eat or drink? We’re gonna be here awhile.”
Steve looked around your relatively small apartment (though it was admittedly huge by New York let’s-call-this-closet-an-apartment standards) and laid eyes on your kitchen – or really kitchenette. You had a quaint home. It actually reminded him a bit of the apartment he grew up. While that was too small for a family, your’s was just the right size for a single person.
Steve briefly found himself wondering how the apartment would fair with two people living in it, but he quickly shut that thought process down. Now was not the time to develop a crush.
“Steve?” you asked, pulling him back into reality.
“Oh, uh, yeah,” he stuttered. “I can just… get a glass of water… or something…”
“Sit down,” you ordered playfully. “I’ll get it.”
As you went to fetch the two of you some water (and a bowl of chips, because you knew he was going to get hungry at some point), Steve made himself comfortable on the couch and examined the things you had laid on the coffee table.
Two notepads – one for you and one for him, it seemed – a couple of packets of paper seemingly printed out from a computer, a laptop, and a few movie cases. By the looks of things, you were just as organized as he thought you’d be. It’s probably why Fury chose you, a civilian, instead of an agent.
You came back from the kitchenette and set the drinks and bowl of chips on the table, hopping into the seat perpendicular to it and grabbing your notepad.
“So,” you began, “let’s get started.”
Three weeks later, your lesson plan was securely in the 1960s and Steve was securely insecure.
“How the hell am I supposed to remember all of this?” He asked, his impatience with himself and the situation leaking over into his voice. “And you said we’re just hitting the big stuff. I can’t… how am I supposed to catch up on 70 fucking years?”
You leaned back in your chair and studied him closely. You could understand his frustration, and you wished there was an easier way. But some things just took time and dedication, as annoying as it is.
“Well, I mean, you don’t have to remember all of it.” You told him. “Nobody remembers all of it –“
“You do.”
You scoffed lightly. “No, I don’t. I remember a lot, but not everything. And with smartphones, I don’t have to remember everything. A world of knowledge is in my pocket at any moment.
“Besides,” you continued, “I’m not normal. I love this stuff, so of course I know more than most people. But even people who lived through it or who studied it for years in school don’t remember most of this. This is just to catch you up, not to make you an expert on modern history.”
Steve nodded sullenly, pouting as he flipped through another one of your packets.
“So what things do people usually remember?” He asked. “What stands out the most?”
You took the packet from his hands and grabbed your pen. You went through the packet and circled the biggest of the big stuff, like John F. Kennedy’s rise and assassination, the continuation of the Vietnam War and the Cold War, and the entire year of 1968. Among all of that and so much more, what stood out the most? What’s one of the first things people think of when they think of the 1960s?
“Okay, so most people think ‘hippies’ when they think the 60s. Flower children, Woodstock, that stuff,” you told him, thinking about the majority of pop culture references to the decade of “peace and love,” no matter how inaccurate that collective memory may be.
“And Woodstock was that giant concert, right?”
“Right,” you smiled up at him, delighted by the small smile that graced his face. “People also think about the Civil Rights Movement. Do you remember what that is?”
“African-Americans and other minorities protesting against racial discrimination and systemic oppression.”
“And who were the two biggest faces of the movement?”
Steve paused, gaze distant as he racked his mind for the answer.
“Uh…” he started, “there’s a lot of individual letters involved.”
You chuckled at his response.
“MLK and Malcom X,” you told him. “There was also W.E.B. Du Bois, but he’s not one of the most recognizable names. So between MLK and X, which was which?”
“MLK was Martin Luther King Jr. and he vouched for the peaceful approach,” Steve summarized. “Malcom X leaned more towards fighting fire with fire.”
“Well,” you smiled, leaning back in your chair, “by my estimate, you seem to be on par with most of America.”
While that sentiment didn’t say much about America as a whole, your heart soared as your watched Steve’s sad puppy eyes fill with pride. You leaned closer to him and patted his knee in what you hoped was a comforting fashion.
“You’re doing just fine, Steve,” you told him softly. “I know I’m gonna sound like almost as big of a nerd as I am, but history is fun if you have the right teacher. Just sit back and enjoy the ride.”
Steve smiled up at you, affection written across his face. “Won’t be hard with a teacher as great as you.”
Four weeks later and you and Steve were closing out your dive into the 1990s, with all of the tie-dye, denim, and sex scandals Steve could handle.
“We’ll finish talking about Y2K, which was a trip, and start on the oughts in our next meeting,” you said as you cleaned up the coffee table. “9/11 will probably take up most of the day.”
“I’ve already looked into 9/11,” Steve told you as he carried your empty snack plates to the kitchenette and turned on the sink. “People were saying that the Chitarui invasion was ‘the worst thing to happen to New York since 9/11’ and I wanted to know what they were talking about.”
“Good,” you said, walking over the breakfast bar and climbing onto one of the bar stools. “That means we can focus more on the after effects with invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan.”
“What’s after that?” he asked, eyes focused intently on the plate that he has been washing for longing the necessary. He was nervous again. You couldn’t fathom why. In the months that you’d known each other, you two had gotten pretty close. Steve even admitted that you were one of the few true friends he felt like he had right now, so you knew he’d tell you if something was bothering him. Or at least you hoped he would.
“The housing bubble and Great Recession,” you told him, cautiously eyeing the plate he was so focused on. “The worst global economy since the depression.”
He looked up at you in shock. “I thought that happened in the 70s?”
“Oh, it did,” you said. “Then the housing bubble came and blew the oil shortage out of the water.”
“Well,” he began with a sly smirk, “oil and water never do mix.”
You looked at him flatly, doing your best the suppress the giggle that wanted to erupt. The longer you held eye contact with him and his shit-eating grin, though, the weaker your resolve became. Before you knew it, the two of you were a laughing mess on the apartment floor. Every time you were calming down, you’d catch a glimpse of each other from around the cabinet and start cackling all over again.
“Oh, that was so bad,” you groaned when the giggles finally stopped and your abs started to burn. “That was so. bad. Steven.”
“You’re just mad you didn’t think of it first,” he countered indignantly, sending you into a new fit of laughter.
“Oh yeah,” you said, “that’s it. I’m envious of your puns.”
Steve chuckled softly, rising from his place on the floor and walking over to where you lay. As he looked at you – face flushed from laughing, tears streaming down your cheeks, and smile so wide it had to hurt – he knew he couldn’t hold back any longer.
“Will you go out with me?”
Shit. That was a little blunter than he intended.
“Go out with you?” you questioned through a giggle. “Like ‘let’s go get something to eat’ or like ‘will you be my girlfriend’?”
Steve smiled sheepishly, tucking his hands in his pockets and shrugging his shoulders. “Both? If you want…”
You smiled and got up off the floor, taking Steve’s hand when he offered his assistance. Looking into his scared and hopeful eyes, any reservation you may have had about straining your relationship died on the spot. Steve was one of the sweetest, funniest, smartest, and most well-mannered guys you had ever met. And you’d be lying if you told yourself you weren’t looking forward to your tutor session a little more than you probably should.
“Let’s see how dinner goes first,” you suggested with a smile, grabbing your purse off the countertop. “Then we’ll talk about the other thing.”
Steve chuckled quietly, head hung in shame at his complete lack of skill with women. He could hear the Commandos laughing in the back of his head. They all picked up women with such ease, and he could barely manage to ask one dame – one great, terrific dame – out on a date. Somewhere in the mix, he heard the Avengers, too, though they were faint.
“Come on Steve,” you called to him. “No better way to get acclimated with the world than to go out into it.”
He smiled at you.
“You’re the boss.”
A/N: Yay, a Steve x Reader fic! I’m glad that’s out of my head so it can stop haunting my every waking moment.
I have no sequel planned for this, but if you want other Steve x Reader fics, let me know or drop a request in the notes or my inbox! Check out my prompt list tag for ideas if you want!

Airlie Beach and the Whitsunday Islands
Day 80  - Airlie Beach
The overnight bus to Airlie beach was a long one – clocking in at 12 hours, with stops in Townsville, Mackay, Aye and Bowen. I rolled into the beach town mid afternoon, and crashed immediately upon arrival to my hostel. Fresh after a few hours of shut-eye, I finally set off to explore Airlie Beach. This relaxed resort town is on the coast of Queensland, and is the gateway to the nearby Whitsunday Islands. The town was fully decorated for Christmas in tropics style  - which in most cases involved a Santa with a surfboard and boardshorts!
Tumblr media
Christmas Down Under!
The main street of Airlie Beach was packed full of swim stores, patios, and dozens of tour desks. I grabbed fish and chips at Boatys and wandered along the shoreline to Abel Point Marina, the departure point for most of the sailboats into the Coral Sea. The scenery around me was spectacular, with hundreds of white sailboats bobbing on the brilliant turquoise waters of the bay. As the sun began to go down, I meandered back to my hostel, stopping to grab groceries for the next few days, and pick up some Vegemite to send home to Canada! (A favourite product of my family – what happens when you have an Australian grandmother!)
Tumblr media
Abel Point Marina
In the evening, I made friends with a few girls from Holland and Amsterdam at my hostel, and we ended up winning the hostel’s trivia night. Sitting on the outdoor patio enjoying our prize – a free bottle of champagne! – we chatted late into the evening, with gentle tropical breeze from the nearby ocean rustling the ceiling of palms above us.
Day 81-82 – Airlie Beach
I spent the following two days in Airlie Beach relaxing and enjoying this picturesque town, and planning for the next legs of my trip. In the mornings, I became a regular at Sidewalk Café, a beachside coffee house, where I took advantage of their strong Wifi and (equally strong!) coffee and do my research for Tasmania, Melbourne and Sydney. As it got progressively hotter and humid in the afternoons, I would head to the nearby manmade lagoon, located next to the ocean, for a refreshing dip. As it was still stinger season in Queensland, swimming in the ocean was not an option in Airlie beach without wearing a stinger suit.
Tumblr media
Airlie Beach Lagoon
The lagoon was a lovely place to spend an afternoon – between dips in the many pools, I would read my book, lie in the sun, do some yoga, and listen to music. My friend Rosa from Amsterdam would come and join me in the afternoons. It was a pretty lovely place to spend a few days!
Day 83 – Whitsunday Islands
With a small bag packed for my next two days of sailing, I headed to Abel Point Marina in the morning to board Freight Train, a former racing sailboat in the famous Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race. An annual event that has taken place since 1945, this sailing race is considered to be among the most challenging yacht races in the world. The Freight Train won this race in 1983, and later retired from racing. The boat has since been retrofitted with stacked berths and a galley kitchen to take passengers out into the Whitsunday Islands.
Tumblr media
As we set out on to the sparkling coral sea, our jovial and sarcastic Aussie skipper Kevin introduced us to the crew and gave us a briefing about the boat. We had a full sailing, complete with 3 crew and 18 passengers – who were mostly Germans, Americans, Spaniards and Austrians! The boat was not large, and the below deck area was designed for communal living, with small berths built into the side of the boat hull. This was not a problem in the least, as our group got along splendidly, relaxing above deck with our feet dangling off the side of the sailboat, and listening to music under the blue sky.
Kevin and his crew hoisted the sails as we approached open water, cutting the power to the motor. The wind whipped through our hair as we sailed towards the Whitsundays, occasionally seeing dolphins spashing in distance. The Whitsundays are a group of 74 magnificent Islands in the middle of the Great Barrier Reef, most of which are uninhabited and part of a national park. The shores of these islands are lined with sparking white beaches, and have impressive coral gardens hidden beneath the turquoise waters offshore.
Tumblr media
Whitsunday Islands
We first anchored in a sheltered bay off Hook Island, and prepared for our snorkelling adventure in the fringing reef around the island, complete with gearing up in stinger suits! Large colourful reef fish circled our sailboat as we bobbed along the surface, occasionally diving down for a closer look at the reef. After such an immersive diving course less than a week ago, it was a bit of an adjustment to return to snorkelling – though the beauty of these coral gardens and unique fish was stunning at any depth.
After checking out a few other snorkel sites, each with coral gardens and marine wildlife just as stunning as the last, we finally arrived at our mooring for the night at a quiet cove off Border Island. After more swimming and diving off the boat, we  finally brought the goon out of the cooler! “Goon” is what Aussies call cheap boxed wine, and it has a bit of a mixed reputation in the country. Although it is a backpacker staple, it is also known to be a notoriously bad wine – and often a recipe for a hangover! “Slap the Goon” is also a famous tradition of backpackers throughout Australia, a fact that did not take me long to learn! For a reason that remains unknown to me to this day, it is customary to slap the bag of goon before having a drink, a tradition that our sailing crew readily attempted - with much hilarity!
Tumblr media
We ended the day with a delicious dinner prepared by our crew, which we ate on the boat deck, watching the sun go down over the Whitsunday Islands.
Tumblr media
Day 84 – Whitsunday Islands and Whitehaven Beach
We woke up early in the morning to set sail to Whitehaven Beach, the iconic white sand beach that the Whitsunday Islands are best known for. Riding large ocean swells between Border Island and Tongue Bay, our skipper Kevin got us to help with hoisting sails, rigging and steering (a surprisingly effective way to keep us from getting seasick, as I had already felt a bit nauseous when walking below deck that morning!).
Tumblr media
Tongue Bay, Whitsunday Islands
As we sailed towards our next anchorage point, a few pounding rainstorms quickly came and went, lasting for no more than 15 minutes before returning to clear blue sky. I personally found these brief downpours to be a welcome reprieve from the scorching heat of the Whitsundays – with the strong sun beating down on us and reflecting back off the water.  The UV index in Queensland is very high, and it was easy to get sunburnt even if we were wearing sunscreen with over 50 SPF!
Dropping anchor at Tongue Bay, a picturesque cove off of Whitsunday Island, we shuttled over the mainland to begin our short hike up to Hill Inlet Lookout. As we walked, kookaburras cackled overhead, swooping to and from the hoop pines and cedar trees. Looking into the scrubby bush alongside the path, we were also lucky to catch a glimpse of a goana, a large lizard native to Queensland.
Tumblr media
The Hill Inlet Lookout was simply spectacular, providing us with an excellent overlook of the swirling white sands below, streaked and mixed with the turquoise waters of the coral sea, which rise and fall with the tide. The pure white sand of Whitehaven Beach is made almost completely of silica, which has been brought to the beach by sea currents over millions of years. This silica sand is so fine that we were warned to be very careful with our cameras, as it is very easy for small particles to get into lenses and actually break them!
Tumblr media
Whitehaven Beach
Descending from Hill Inlet Lookout to North Whitehaven beach, we walked towards the water, the fine white sand squeaking beneath our feet! In Hill Inlet, the waters are very shallow and protected by the tide and sandy beach.  Because of the unique geography of this inlet, baby lemon sharks and baby stingrays can often be seen swimming through the shallow waters. Wading near the shore, a few swam within only a few meters of our feet!
After hanging out on the beach and swimming in Hill Inlet for a few hours, we returned to our sailboat for lunch, before gradually beginning the voyage back to Airlie Beach. The wind carried us to one final dive site on our return trip, where old cars were sunk offshore in 1965. Surprisingly, this was done intentionally to encourage coral growth and provide a habitat for reef fish. It was fascinating snorkelling in this beautiful coral garden, as you could still faintly make out the shapes of cars, buried deep under the coral. We spent the rest of our afternoon relaxing on the sailboat as we returned to port. Back on dry land, our group headed to Beaches bar in town, with free drinks courtesy of our hilarious skipper Kevin!
Day 85 - Airlie Beach to Brisbane
I finished my final morning in Airlie Beach with another visit to Sidewalk Cafe and the lagoon, before catching an airport shuttle to Proserpine airport, a tiny bush airport that only has 2 departures per day. I boarded a short flight to Brisbane, where I would be taking a connecting flight the following day to Hobart, Tasmania. I was looking forward to staying with the Mulcahys in Tasmania – long-time friends of my family, after my sister and their daughter Alice did a school exchange over 11 years earlier!

where is art?
Institutional critique is a movement that centers on highlighting the social and cultural circumstances, as well as surroundings, of the way art is presented in our society. It focuses on how the “site”, the position or place where you see a piece of art, can influence or impact the meaning of it. The way artists create pieces that fit within the institutional critique umbrella, according to writers Rebecca Seiferle and Lewis Church of The Art Story, is to create “site specific installations that emphasized the indeterminate and the temporal to question the financial, social, and cultural structure of the art world, and the systems of aesthetic evaluation that world employed.” (Seiferle)
Art historians have divided two main generations that have influenced and provided conceptual work under the label of institutional critique. The first having its origins in the 1960s and 70s, where they focused on museums and galleries as organizations, systems, companies that have their own interests and motivations. The second generation, associated with those in the late 1980s continuing to today, takes this focus and expands on it, taking on the addition of the relationship between the artist and the institution, as well as the meanings behind their motivations, both political, financial, and otherwise. (Seiferle)
Fred Wilson, a conceptual artist and trustee of the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York city, is a current player in the realm of institutional critique. Much of his work revolves around the idea of self-awareness, for the problems and issues museums participate in when presenting their pieces of art. Wilson views museums as an idea, and that his place within it is “to be a kind of moral rudder in certain ways. To sort of think about why the institution is there, and what it does for the society, and just give the big picture as well as the specific picture of the museum.” (Whitney Stories)
Wilson is a key member of the current generation of artists who contribute to the institutional critique movement, like John Knight, Louise Lawler, Andrea Fraser, Carey Young, Renée Green, Amalia Mesa-Bains, and Barbara Bloom, who are more comfortable within the classification than their previous generation members. Their viewpoints center on how meaning within art throughout history, but especially now within conceptual art, constantly toes and crosses the line between art and politics, across the many different platforms and avenues of art. They argue that this isn’t something easy for museums to sell to their paying attendees, and sometimes it is about pointing out the flaws in the system that museums and galleries may profit from.
John Dewey, who wrote about the experience of art and the spaces that art is experienced in back in the early twentieth century, has a lot of ideas that still have weight and cohesion in today’s current art world. He believes that “art” is not the piece of work itself, but the product of the work and the experience one gets when interacting with it. He supports the unity of all different types of the worlds of art, whether that be traditional drawn or painted pieces, or things like music, or dance, or others. He believes that art shouldn’t be elevated into places like museums, because there they become separated from us, and the experience we have living alongside them is lost. (Art As Experience) 
Traditional galleries and museums have many advantages. One being that they bring the world’s art and histories close to home. For those who cannot travel and go directly to cultures and various cities themselves, museums especially can bring the world close to home, for a substantially smaller price tag. In this way, museums create spaces that exist to chip away at the myths of things we create when we cannot see or experience for ourselves, histories we have not lived. It helps deny inaccuracies that may have taken commonplace meaning in our society. It widens perspectives. 
But there are also many drawbacks to these spaces, as well. The biggest and most problematic of them is the fact that not all of these pieces have been acquired in an honest, or correct way. Many of the pieces being present in museum spaces, majorly, are the product of imperialism, or the loot of wars, or capitalistic decisions, among others reasons. In some ways art can become seen as pieces of stolen history that were taken, unjustly, and should be returned. Another drawback is the monetary value we place on the experience of going to places like museums or galleries. Some are free admission, on specific days or between specific hours, but most, overall, are pay to enter. Like this, we gate keep those who are not in the financial situation to be able to support extracurricular expenditures like visiting museums. This is a drawback, even if it is meant in the best interest of supporting the museum’s well-being, because it keeps those who may really benefit from the experience out.
Tumblr media
A picture I took at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, which shows Rembrandt’s The Night Watch, presented amongst the humanistic architecture surrounding it, that was expertly planned and carried out. It shows mastery in both sculpture and atmosphere cultivation, an aesthetic that fits well into the idea we usually hold when we think of museums.
Personally, I love the idea of having a space dedicated specifically to the interaction and communication between people and art. Museums and galleries have the purpose of perspective given in them. You go, and visit, and if you are willing, you can come away a little different. It is a place that focuses on worldwide influences, and culture, and their specific ideals, how they differ from our own. A place like this takes us out of the routine of our daily lives and puts us into a new environment, invites us into a new mindspace, invites a different way of looking at the world around us, the world we live in. 
Dewey’s idea that putting art into a space like this does separate and remove it from daily life, puts it on a pedestal, almost, is correct. It’s difficult not to think of art and not see pristinely painted walls, art in extravagant frames. It’s difficult not to see the price of museum tickets and exclusive memberships and overpriced café goods. In this way, a space like this becomes a privilege, the ability to go, to see these pieces, is one that some of us can’t afford. Is that really the idea of the spaces that we want to show, to cultivate? That not everyone is invited in?
It is easy to see all of this, and the rest of the political and elitist parts of the situation, and say that we should try to “fix the art world”. Like it’s easily done in a day. Like it isn’t such an incredibly interwoven part of our own. Like it’s its own special, separated piece of our society, one that can survive on its own, looked over by those with deep pockets and stay untouched by the people in our society that are only looking out for their own best interests, instead of the many, instead of the communities that these museums and galleries are situated in. Like it isn’t, in a way, an environment that is almost primed for the taking, instead of the back and forth, the take and the give. 
Institutional critique, and the conceptual art within it, is an amazing presence who is taking this problem to task. It is the conversation starter, the questions that are posed because they have to be asked. It is the first step that makes others inspired, want to be involved, to become the next generation. It is the road that we will go down to a better world of art interaction and learning. It is the solution in progress.
If it were up to me, I’d try and make museums and galleries more approachable to those of all situations. Come in anytime, donate if you can. Maybe, if support is a big issue in the location of certain museums, we could put on raffles or tiers of donations to encourage donations like this, but in a way where don’t let it become a barrier. 
In another way, I’d ask more questions specifically to the audience that museums aren’t reaching. I’d ask: what are you looking for? How do you get inspiration, and how do you believe we could model our museum experience to help you reach that? How do we convince a technological world that history and abstraction in art is important? How do say to people that it is in the willingness to try and understand that makes the experience of museums? That it is the interaction, the attempt at commonality amongst so many differences? That we have always been history repeating itself, building upon the ruins of our pasts and continuing the traditions, and how important it is to remember them? To continue them? To say their names?

Nature Discovery Park in Hong Kong
12 Dec 2020
Nature Discovery Park
Design: LAAB Architects
Location: K11 MUSEA, Hong Kong, China
Located at the heart of the urban city in Hong Kong, Nature Discovery Park is a rooftop nature conservatory in a newly redeveloped retail destination, the K11 MUSEA, offering experiential learning and farm-to-table dining experiences for city dwellers. LAAB was tasked with the challenge to turn an otherwise residual space in the shopping mall into a learning and experience centre of nature.
Architecture of Urban Nature In the middle of Nature Discovery Park are a glasshouse and an urban farm. Steel structure and aluminium cladding were used to frame the glasshouse, which features large sliding glass doors that open its interior to the outdoor farm. To save energy, IGU glass facade was used to reduce heat gain. The sliding doors are always open to draw in sunlight and to enhance natural ventilation to minimize energy consumption.
The steel structure, aluminium cladding, and glasses were all prefabricated and installed on-site to reduce construction waste. The roof is slightly pitched forward so that the architecture catches the prevailing wind from the harbour while visually embracing the farm. The reflection of the farm on the glasshouse against the surrounding skyscrapers produces a visual reminder of the co-existence of nature and urbanism. The door handles, pendant lamps, and dining tables were crafted by LAAB using sustainable wood.
Urban Nature that Nurtures The spatial design of Nature Discovery Park advocates for the co-existence of human, nature, and the urban environment by enabling eco-tours and a series of education programmes on biodiversity and sustainability. The nature exploration journey begins with an archive that showcases rare butterfly species, leading to an aquarium that hosts the water and tropic marine species of the Victoria Harbour across the site if there were no pollution. Inside the greenhouse, a hydroponic nursery brings organically grown vegetables to the table.
The farm in front of the glasshouse offers urban farming opportunities for city dwellers, promoting eco-parenting through activities such as rooftop farming and nature art jam. As Hong Kong is home to a dazzling diversity of butterfly species, the nature discovery journey ends with a butterfly garden that grows plants to attract butterflies.
