The Challenge

Over the course of 2023, complete each item from all three parts — or, ya know, do it your own way. To access the lists, click on the titles below. The idea is to expand your knowledge base and build your community, and since everything seems to be going up in flames, here is a way to start being part of the solution.

There are 28 items in each section. Why did I make it that way? Why not round up to 30? Because 28 is an underappreciated number. You can fight me on this but you will not win. (it may or may not actually be because the seemingly random items on the lists follow a secret pattern down to the order in which they're listed, which, if you can figure out you will get 10,000 Cool Person points).

Also, it's all mix-and-match-able, so you can either do it in order, or jump around (even between the different parts). While it is angled towards Americans, you can modify it to your own purposes by replacing America or United States with whatever your country is.

Part 1: Read

Read things you might not usually read. Or if you don't like reading, watch videos or listen to podcasts. Each item on the list (with the exception of No.2 is a category which you can take in a number of different directions.

Part 2: Share

Art! Share the art! It can be your art or (making sure it's credited) other's art that you like as long as they're not telling you to avoid reposting. And the art can be visual, music, photography, short-film, performance, poetry, whatever

Part 3: Do

Get in on the action. Basically 28 prompts that you can mold to your specific situation to help you explore new things and better your community. Some are about experiencing new things, or learning and teaching, or tangible ways to improve yourself.

Feel free to submit posts with what you get up to, and use the tag #horizonschallenge to share and see all the cool stuff people find. Also crossposting to other social media with credit is absolutely fair game.

As for the cool-person points, it has been brought to my attention that I should maybe offer hints. You can find them below the cut.

The first 14 items in each section are based one list. The second 14 are based on another.

really funny that every website is in an arms race to make itself as bad as possible and immediately someone makes a firefox extension to fix it

#its not a real solution obviously like they should work properly in the first place #but it shows how all these changes are not for the benefit of the user and are always unpopular

When their entire relationship is toxic, but they're both so fucked up that it's actually the best case scenario, because subjecting anybody else to either of them would be a human rights violation.

Came back wrong this, came back monstrous that

What if they came back loving? What if they came back in love. What if the necromancy worked and you cheated death and it's everything you've ever wanted, but now they love you in a way they never did before and you cannot know if that is because they finally know the lengths you are willing to go for them, or because something in this deathless magic bound their soul to yours to guide them home and it left them no. choice.

The U.S. will use its veto power against a Palestinian bid to be recognized as a member state of the United Nations during a vote at the Security Council expected to take place Thursday evening. Vedant Patel, principal deputy spokesperson for the State Department, described as premature an effort by the Palestinian Authority (PA) to gain member status at the U.N. He said there was not unanimity among the Security Council’s 15 members that the Palestinian Authority had met the criteria for membership, with unresolved questions over the governance of the Gaza Strip, where Israel is in a war to defeat and eliminate the controlling power, Hamas. “And for that reason, the United States is voting no on this proposed Security Council resolution,” Patel said.

Earlier it was revealed that the United States was secretly pressuring other members of the Security Council to shoot down a Palestinian state membership so the US wouldn't have to use its veto as that would lead to a wave of local and international criticism for Joe Biden.

It’s solar and wind and tidal and geothermal and hydropower.

It’s plant-based diets and regenerative livestock farming and insect protein and lab-grown meat.

It’s electric cars and reliable public transit and decreasing how far and how often we travel.

It’s growing your own vegetables and community gardens and vertical farms and supporting local producers.

It’s rewilding the countryside and greening cities.

It’s getting people active and improving disabled access.

It’s making your own clothes and buying or swapping sustainable stuff with your neighbours.

It’s the right to repair and reducing consumption in the first place.

It’s greater land rights for the commons and indigenous peoples and creating protected areas.

It’s radical, drastic change and community consensus.

It’s labour rights and less work.

It’s science and arts.

It’s theoretical academic thought and concrete practical action.

It’s signing petitions and campaigning and protesting and civil disobedience.

It’s sailboats and zeppelins.

It’s the speculative and the possible.

It’s raising living standards and curbing consumerism.

It’s global and local.

It’s me and you.

Climate solutions look different for everyone, and we all have something to offer.

Me: "hey game developers, especially AAA ones, are getting laid off en-mass and it's awful for our industry" Gamer: "well I only play INDIE games and the problem with AAA games is they are creatively bankrupt"

Me, slamming my fists on the table like a baby: "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THIS IS ABOUT A BUSINESS PROBLEM PERPETUATED BY CAPITALISM NOT A STATEMENT ON CREATIVE DECISION MAKING"

#look I think AAA should make weirder games also but I wish we stopped treating that like some kind of solution and not just a fun idea #the problem is capitalism. its always capitalim #its not like AAA studios would have less problems if they made weird indie games lol #also hey spoiler alert: indie studios need to organize their labour too #in fact I think the organizing movement would be stronger if more indies adopted it first #anyway im busy so imma mute some posts now #thoughts #blog
