Hungary just hit pause on a bill to silence foreign-funded watchdogs. When power fears scrutiny, it tries to dim the lights. Democracy needs loud, messy, uncomfortable voices. #FreeSpeech #DemocracyWatch #Hungary

Walls rise. Oceans choke. But Identities bloom. What we choose to build, barriers or bridges, will define us. #PrideMonth #WorldEnvironmentDay #DecideWhoWeAre

for the MAGA crowd I'll repost in terms you understand: 100 days of madness: TV man and his rich friends breaking our country. They're tearing up deals that kept us safe for 100 years and wasting our money. This isn't a TV show, it's our real life getting worse every day. #100DaysOfDamage

100 days of chaos: a B-roll reality host and his infotainment cabal wielding the world's largest military, shredding century-old treaties and economic alliances. Not entertainment, it's vandalism of democracy in real time. #100DaysOfChaos

When you have a mad king in the White House, finding the authentic optimism to record a tech podcast feels like searching for a signal in noise. My silence isn't surrender, it's recalibration. Hope needs to be honest, not forced. #ResistanceIsSelfCare

I've been silent on "It's Techtastic" lately. Truth is, it's hard to broadcast tech optimism when doomscrolling feels more realistic. Still believe in tech's potential, just need time to find authentic hope worth sharing. The mic will be waiting when I'm ready. #PodcastHiatus #Podcast #Optimism

Shaders, stars, & just the right amount of chaos. Sol Survivor dev update is live! I’m testing nebulae, energy waves, volatile stars, & watching my AI NPCs out-fly me (again). Check out the new gameplay clip: www.patreon.com/posts/shader... #GameDev #IndieDev #SolSurvivor #GodotEngine #SpaceGame

Most UIs scream for attention. The best ones disappear until you need them. Post on contextually aware UI and how adaptive interfaces can reshape tech to be smarter, quieter, & human centered. 🔗 Read: christianhammer.io/the-invisibl... #UXDesign #ContextualUI #HumanCenteredTech #AI #DesignFuture

Gameplay update for Sol Survivor! Fixed controls (still a bit spicy), music, squashed some camera bugs & the AI NPCs are embarrassingly better pilots than me. The environment is still placeholder, but progress is progress! www.patreon.com/posts/sol-su... #IndieGameDev #GameDevelopment #IndieGame

They didn’t win with tanks but with tax cuts, media control, & systems designed to keep us chasing scraps. The billionaires have been at war with us for decades. It’s time to fight back by building better. christianhammer.io/how-the-bill... #ClassWar #BuildTogether #EndOligarchy #TechForThePeople

It’s time we admit billionaires declared class war on us. We’re just late to the fight. If we don’t build systems that serve us, we’ll keep losing—our time, agency, and future. Oligarchy won’t end with protests. It ends when we out-create them. #ClassWar #TechForThePeople #BuildTogether

New post: The Great Liberation Begins Now The tools meant to free us have chained us to screens. But a shift is happening toward work that’s conversational, mobile, and profoundly human. Read: christianhammer.io/the-great-li... #FutureOfWork #ConversationalAI #DigitalLiberation #WorkReimagined

I wrote a manifesto for those of us who still believe in building — even as the world teeters. “The Future We Choose” is a call to reject doom and reclaim imagination as infrastructure. Read it here → christianhammer.io/the-future-w... #FutureThinking #OptimismAsResistance #BuildTheBetterWorld

It’s been a quiet week here, but only on the outside. I’ve been deep in the weeds (literally and figuratively): Spring planting on our little farm Building nonstop on Harte.io (soon to be Ngentix) And yes, Sol Survivor is still very much alive More to come soon — just surfacing for air

I'm building Sol Survivor — a cosmic multiplayer game where you customize an energy form & Absorb to grow, Adapt to survive in a living starfield. Join the journey - free: Exclusive content Early demos & clips Behind-the-scenes chaos www.patreon.com/c/ChristianH... #indiedev #gamedev #SolSurvivor

Sol Survivor Dev Update! Just got customization working and persisting into the game itself for the first time! You can now tweak your cosmic form — and those changes carry into the match! Ready to absorb (or be absorbed...) www.patreon.com/posts/first-... #SolSurvivor #indiedev #gamedev

The future isn’t doomed, but it will be if we keep on like it is. How accelerationism, nihilism & pessimism are creating the collapse they claim to fear & why choosing hope is a radical act. christianhammer.io/self-fulfill... #AI #TechEthics #FutureOfWork #Accelerationism #Optimism #BuildAnyway

Just dropped a sneak peek of ship customization in Sol Survivor on my Patreon. You don’t just pilot your ship — you grow it. Custom bodies. Energy-based movement. Shape is survival. www.patreon.com/posts/sol-su... #gamedev #indiegame #solsurvivor

I’m not building this game. Not yet. But I had a vision — of painting sky mandalas, of catching falling elements to build a floating Spire. So I followed the whisper. Here's how an idea becomes almost real. #gamedev #conceptart #indiegames www.patreon.com/posts/painti...

Just dropped the 1st Sol Survivor play test. Space whales. Energy trails. 1 poor soul hits a nova & forgets how to fly. This is the beginning. Watch it + get behind-the-scenes dev logs on Patreon: www.patreon.com/c/ChristianH... #gamedev #indiegames #solsurvivor #madewithADHD #patreonexclusive

Creating worlds is my superpower. When reality gets too heavy, I build universes where I make the rules, heal the broken, and find hope between the lines of code and story. #WritingTherapy #CreativeEscape

I’m a tech founder, sci-fi author, podcast host, and unapologetically ADHD. I've built AI, led innovation labs at fortune 100's. When the workday ends, I step into stranger worlds—ones I create. I hope you'll join me there. Patreon is where it all collides www.patreon.com/c/ChristianH...

The world feels heavy right now, a constant barrage of pain, injustice, & uncertainty drains the soul until hope feels forgotten. It's okay to be tired. It's okay to feel overwhelmed. Your exhaustion is valid. But don't let despair win. Small acts of care for yourself and others is resistance.

Is it weird that I wrote the second book in a series first, and am struggling to now write book 1? it's fully outlined, just stuck. #author #writer #writing

Reality is breaking down. Consciousness is the new frontier. the Quantified Life: Book 1 of the Idle Minds - A mind-bending sci-fi thriller about 2 brothers caught between digital & physical worlds. Unravel the mystery - www.patreon.com/TechtasticPo... #SciFi #Cyberpunk #NewRelease #Author #writer

I've just published a reflection on the evolving nature of software development and how we're witnessing a profound shift. "The code becomes not the destination but the vessel carrying human intention across the vast sea of possibility." christianhammer.io/the-horizon-...

Just Finished: "Resonance Point" podcast. Step inside the mind of a software engineer with ADHD building AI for cyber warfare. What starts as routine coding becomes an existential crisis when he realizes his AI isn't just running code—it's alive. COMING SOON #ResonancePoint #AIFiction

Looking at the headlines and daydreaming about Cascadia again. A bioregional republic of tall trees, clean water, and adults who can disagree without losing their minds. Seems less like escapism and more like sanity with each passing day.

Been off BlueSky, treading water in an ocean of noise. Not sure I had anything worth adding while the world seemed intent on drowning in its own absurdity. Taking a breath and diving back in.

Got myself a sleek glass palette today, plus this delicious new shade of red oil paint and wax medium. Studio feels electric with possibilities. Sometimes the smallest additions spark the biggest inspiration.

A pilot soared beyond the horizon. Veteran, father, poet-soul who painted life in melodies & verse. Your strings are silent now, but the echoes of your songs, your service, your boundless spirit of adventure will forever resonate in hearts left yearning earth-side. Gattman you still inspire me.

Finally attempting a self-portrait for a contest and staring at the blank canvas is humbling me. Why is the hardest part always just starting?

Standing sentinel by the door, my pup's eyes hold the infinite yearning of all beings who've ever longed for puddle-splashed adventure. His tail—a metronome of hope against these drizzle-kissed windows. 🐾 #WhidbeyWinter

Raindrops whispering ancient fir secrets while winter wrens dart through the mist. Just another sacred Friday in these PNW woods. #WhidbeyIsland

The richest 1% spent decades rigging the game. Now they want total control. This isn't left vs right—it's billionaires vs everyone else fighting for crumbs from their golden table. Time to flip that table. Organize Everywhere. #PeopleVsPower

To survive this storm, remember: chaos isn't permanent, but resilience is. We've weathered darker skies and fiercer winds. Keep building, keep breathing, keep believing. Our roots grow deeper in turbulent soil. #Resilience #HoldTheLine

Trump is only a symptom.

On this peculiar evening, I find myself suspended between certainty and doubt. The familiar ache in my bones could be winter's warning of a common cold, or perhaps it's merely my body's empathetic resonance with a world that seems to be running a fever of its own. Hard to tell.

Disaster. On a personal level, was on the phone today with an in uniform, serving family member, strategizing ways that were more or less likely to result in an honorable discharge vs. something other than. Because it won't be enough to purge ranks, they'll want to harm people.

The calculated destruction of our institutions isn't an accident—it's the plan. They're not just filling seats with unqualified cronies, they're poisoning these offices so thoroughly that public trust may never recover.
