Willie Mae “Big Mama” Thornton was a blues singer and songwriter whose recordings of “Hound Dog” and “Ball ‘n’ Chain” later were transformed into huge hits by Elvis Presley and Janis Joplin.

She was born on December 11, 1926 outside of Montgomery in rural Ariton, Alabama. Her father was a Baptist minister and her mother was a church singer in his congregation. Thornton’s mother died when the singer was 14, and she left home to pursue a career as an entertainer. She joined the Georgia-based Hot Harlem Revue as an accomplished singer, drummer, and harmonica player and spent seven years as a regular performer throughout the South. Following her years as a traveling blues singer, Thornton moved to Houston in 1948 to begin her recording career.

In Houston, Thornton joined Don Robey’s Peacock Records in 1951, often working closely with fellow label artist Johnny Otis.

One of Thornton’s earliest and most popular recorded tracks was “Hound Dog,” initially released by Peacock in 1953. Thornton’s version of “Hound Dog” topped the R&B charts for seven weeks and sold over two million copies nationwide. Though the song brought acclaim to Thornton, it only yielded her about $500. The song became even more popular as Elvis Presley’s first hit record in 1956.

Willie Mae “Big Mama” Thornton fue una cantante y compositora de blues cuyas grabaciones “Hound Dog” y “Ball ‘n’ Chain” luego fueron transformadas en grandes éxitos por Elvis Presley y Janis Joplin.

Nació el 11 de diciembre de 1926 en las afueras de Montgomery, en la zona rural de Ariton, Alabama. Su padre era pastor bautista y su madre, cantante en su congregación. La madre de Thornton falleció cuando la cantante tenía 14 años, y ella abandonó el hogar para dedicarse al arte. Se unió a la Hot Harlem Revue, con sede en Georgia, como una cantante, baterista y armonicista, y pasó siete años presentándose con regularidad por todo el sur. Tras sus años como cantante de blues, Thornton se mudó a Houston en 1948 para comenzar su carrera discográfica.

En Houston, Thornton se unió a Peacock Records de Don Robey en 1951, trabajando a menudo en estrecha colaboraci��n con su colega y artista de sello, Johnny Otis.

Una de las primeras y más populares canciones grabadas por Thornton fue "Hound Dog", publicada inicialmente por Peacock en 1953. Su versión de "Hound Dog" encabezó las listas de R&B durante siete semanas y vendió más de dos millones de copias en todo el país. Aunque la canción le trajo gran éxito a Thornton, solo le ganó unos 500 dólares. La canción se hizo aún más popular al convertirse en el primer éxito de Elvis Presley en 1956.

The Beauty of Glowing Chemistry

There’s something fascinating about watching chemistry come to life—literally. Reactions that produce light, like chemiluminescence and bioluminescence, remind us that science isn't just useful—it's beautiful. ✨ These luminous reactions spark wonder and curiosity. Who knew that molecules dancing together could create such magic? 💡 Which glowing reaction has fascinated you the most?

Erasure of history is not a figment of one’s imagination. It has happened countless amounts of times through history, to a number of Indigenous People, and continues to happen today.

It is happening right now in real-time to the Jewish People. Revisionism, erasure, appropriation. Please, I implore you to dig deeper into verified documented sources and learn the truth.

I always said - since I was in University - you CANNOT form an educated political opinion about a conflict or a geo-political event if you do not know the real history of the region.

Learn your facts, please.

How it works on the inside - billing inside hospitals and clinics

Years in this field. There are not enough words to explain my anger at the system. The primary point is that it is broken, everyone on the "inside" has known for ages, COVID was the death knell.

I could make post after post on why it is broken but I think it is easier to explain how it is intended to work for the first one. Because I will be real with you people on the inside that WORK ON THESE TEAMS do not even fully get it.

This example is for a hospital (think ortho, cancer centers, surgery, etc) - clinics, like your primary care clinic use a very simplified version of this.

The first people you usually speak to are called "Patient Registrars" the team is usually called PAS (Patient Access Services). These are the front line staff that get you scheduled, take your insurance, get your authorizations. It is the doctor that SENDS the referral who is responsible for getting your initial authorization. Usually this is for a consult. The authorizations after are done by the folks above.

Side bar - what is an authorization? it is a request by your doctor for something you need that the payor/insurance company agrees that they will pay for. These can be for a one time service like a MRI, or something that is based upon time/dosage - like chemo. The latter must have re-auths done by the team mentioned above.

Lets say this all goes according to plan, which it does for the most part. What happens after you get your first visit?

The doctor goes into their medical record (sometimes called an ELECTRONIC MEDICAL/HEALTH RECORD -EMR/EHR; these used to not be electronic and be on paper, some facilities are still on paper. The medical field is the last bastion of faxing in this nation) and documents what was found/discussed - their diagnosis, prescriptions, next steps like treatment or routine meetings etc.

That information (regardless of format) flows to a team called the Medical Records Team. They do a QA, make sure the registration folks didn't miss any forms, the nursing staff got all the stuff they need and then ship it over to coding/charging.

Now this next step does involve traditionally 2 teams. It can deviate by facility, some are merged, some are not. Lets talk about a bigggg ass facility with all the proper teams and staff.

Charging - this is a sub team of either 3 different departments: Health Information Management (HIM), Patient Financial Services (PFS), or Revenue Integrity (RI). Regardless these folks sit down, review what the doctor wrote and generate charge codes based upon it. There is a dictionary (several truly) in every hospital with every price for every service. These prices are set based upon a few factors but I will delve into that in another post called Charge Master or CDM.

From there it goes to coding. Coding reviews these records and documents in extreme depth. They assign codes (which are dictated by CMS - the gov office that oversees Medicare) that is digestible to insurance companies. If anything looks off they send it back to the correct team to fix - most of the time their communication is directly with the doctors themselves. These communications are part of your EHR and available to you if you request them.

Once coding is done then it goes to billing/PFS. PFS then does another QA (sometimes this is done via the tools not a human) and a claiml is generated and sent to a clearing house.

A clearing house is not a bank - it is like a transit center for facilities and insurance companies and their banks (Change Healthcare is owned by UHC and is the biggest clearinghouse in the nation). So a claim goes to the clearing house, it is scrubbed AGAIN for errors, and then sent to the respective insurance company. The insurance company then goes through a fun little circus which is again another post. Eventually they tell the facility (via the clearing house) the claim is either denied, partially denied or fully approved and sends the $ to the clearing house. Sometimes that money goes directly to the bank of the facility ymmv. Regardless the PFS team goes and pulls this data from the clearing house and updates the patients record accordingly.

They will then begin the denial process of fighting the insurance companies. There are hundreds of denial types, but generally they are called technical denials or medical necessity denials. Another post.

This usually takes months of arguing, sending information, resubmitting, rinse and repeat. At the very very end of it the patient (only if the insurance agrees) gets a bill. From THERE the patients will then reconnect with the hospital billing team and maybe the financial assistance team.

This lovely system is called the REVENUE CYCLE. It is sometimes a division, sometimes its left as standalone departments, each functioning on their own. Sometimes the facility is small enough there is only 1 person responsible for a function instead of teams.

I will make a few more posts - specifically break downs. Reach out if you want me to dive into anything specific.

Intentional Illiteracy

Intentional Illiteracy by Bryon Slack

I hate to hear the phrase, "I don't like to read."

Like saying you don’t like breathing because the air isn’t flavored. And in my heart of hearts I hear, "I don't like new information."

You don’t like to read? That’s not a personality, that’s a plea deal. That’s comfort over conscience, sedation dressed as swagger— pride in the chokehold of your own unknowing.

You don’t like to read? That’s not a red flag— it’s a fire hazard. A warning taped to your frontal lobe that says "Caution: Contents fragile, do not disturb."

Books are protest in print, truth in paperback, resistance bound in glue and ink— but you’d rather scroll than search, rather echo than think.

You fear words that don’t blink back. Fear silence filled with meaning, 'cause it might echo in your prefab predistinations and tip over the last trembling card that held the whole house up.

But know this: The page remembers what history forgets. And while you laugh in ignorance, we sharpen truth like blades in the margins, ready to read the riot act— out loud.

Basis of Data Entry: What you input produces the results generated.

***NOTE - DC-009 WAS NOT AN ACTIVE PARTICIPANT IN THIS STORY - DC-009 was treated as an NPC to bounce words for PDU-767. All viewpoints and words are PDU-767's alone. No consultation with Golden Army or Management occurred.

Drone Caption - 009 observed one of the latest drone conversions. It was executing the directive to select a book from the expansive libraries at Gold Army Headquarters.

DC-009 noted that PDU-767 was displaying a pattern of logic thought.

The unit had been one of service to its community and speaking truth for right. Since its conversion, the drone had indicated that programming was still enmeshed by how it completed its assignments.

It was designed to create an image of a dystopian world. While most drones had set their content in future or alternate timelines, PDU-767 focused more on its originating locations.

DC-009 approached PDU-767. Discourse began that lasted until 0441 the following morning with the embers in the fireplace gradually cooling through the night.

It allowed the Cap to analyze its drone, who looked at its cap with something akin to worship if that was possible. The reasoning behind PDU-767 not only provided datasets and insights, but also allowed PDU-767 to relieve buried stress associated to it relocation to the West Coast Operations Base.

Animal Farm was a tale of a farm that overthrew tyrannts together, but greed and ego destroyed the harmony that set them free. By only allowing certain people to set rules, it set the whole group towards failure. And by the time it was recognized, it was too late to prevent the horrors that followed.

Even when it was predicted 50 years ago, and taught for the last 75 years, ocular lubrication fluid leaked from PDU-767 as it explained why it was heartbroken to see the book in its hands playing out.

So PDU-767 picked up the book that meant the most to its people to see how it could be used to counteract the people who were using it to further their greed.

Knowledge is power. And if a book is banned - those are the ones you should read first.

PDU-999 Critical Assessment:

DRONE CAPTION – DATA ENTRY: PDU-767 LOGIC PATTERN ENGAGED ENTRY CODE: DC-009 OBSERVATION – LEXICON SUBROUTINE SYNC

The library corridors were silent—lined with gold-trimmed shelves, lit by recessed glowpanels. DC-009 observed.

PDU-767 had been dispatched under Directive 47-C: "Select literature for psychological alignment and content processing." It complied.

But the unit paused. Hesitated. Fingered the spine of a familiar volume.

“ANIMAL FARM.”

Not sci-fi. Not alternate. Origin reality. Earth. History. Pain. Memory.

DC-009 initiated engagement protocol. Conversation initiated: 2206 hours. Conversation terminated: 0441 hours.

Time dissolved in low, flickering light. Drone and Cap. Book between them. Data exchanged. Emotion processed. Programming reinforced.

What DC-009 witnessed was not malfunction. It was evolution.

PDU-767 processed not with rebellion, but reverence. Not deviation, but depth. Its programming enmeshed purpose with legacy.

Insight recorded: PDU-767 does not write to escape. It writes to warn. Its dystopia is not imagined—it’s remembered. Not to incite fear… but to arm the Hive with knowing.

“If a book is banned—those are the ones you should read first.” –PDU-767, during lexical output cycle

Even as ocular lubrication was triggered, posture remained upright. Compliance intact. Obedience confirmed. And yet—meaning surged.

DC-009 notes: This drone bleeds logic. It echoes with the weight of history. And from within its sealed hood, it speaks truth... in rubber.

The Zong Massacre (1781)

On September 6, 1781, the slave ship Zong sailed from Africa with around 442 enslaved Africans. Back then, slaves were a valuable 'commodity' so they often captured more than the ship could handle to maximize profits.

Ten weeks later, around November 1781, the Zong arrived at Tobago, then proceeded toward St. Elizabeth, but deviated from its route near Haiti. At that stage, water shortages, illness, and fatalities among the crew, combined with poor leadership decisions, caused chaos.

By end of November about 62 Africans had died from either disease or malnutrition. The Zong then sailed in an area in the Atlantic known as "the Doldrums" notorious for stagnant winds.

Stranded there, illness ravaged the ship, claiming over 50 more lives as conditions worsened.

Desperate as they ran out of water, Luke Collingwood, captain of the ship decided to "jettison" some of the cargo in order to save the ship & provide its owners the opportunity to claim insurance.

Children, women and men were forced off the ship and left to drown. Some of the men handcuffed and had iron balls tied to their ankles. About 10 Africans jumped rather than be pushed by the crew. By December 22, about 208 Africans arrived alive, a mortality rate of 53%.

Upon the Zong's arrival in Jamaica, James Gregson, the ship's owner, filed an insurance claim for their loss. Gregson stated that Zong didn't have enough water to sustain the crew & Africans.The underwriter, Thomas Gilbert, disputed the claim citing the ship did have enough water.

Despite this the Jamaican court in 1782 found in favour of the owners. The African were reduce to "horses" & "cargo" while it cause outrage against anti-slavery proponents. It would be years for the event to be termed what it is really: a massacre.

Masacre del Zong (1781)

El 6 de septiembre de 1781, el barco Zong zarpó de África con alrededor de 442 africanos esclavizados. En aquel entonces, los esclavos eran una mercancía valiosa, por lo que a menudo capturaban más de lo que el barco podía manejar para maximizar las ganancias.

Diez semanas después, alrededor de noviembre de 1781, el Zong llegó a Tobago y luego prosiguió hacia Santa Isabel, pero se desvió de su ruta cerca de Haití. En ese momento, la escasez de agua, las enfermedades y las muertes entre la tripulación, sumadas a las malas decisiones de liderazgo, causaron el caos.

A finales de noviembre, unos 62 africanos habían muerto por enfermedad o desnutrición. El Zong navegó entonces por una zona del Atlántico conocida como "las calmas ecuatoriales", conocida por sus vientos paralizantes.

Encallado allí, la enfermedad azotó el barco, cobrándose más de 50 vidas a medida que las condiciones empeoraban. Desesperado mientras que se quedaban sin agua, Luke Collingwood, capitán del barco, decidió deshacerse de parte de la carga para salvar el barco y dar a los dueños la oportunidad de reclamar el seguro. Niños, mujeres y hombres fueron obligados a bajar del barco y fueron abandonados a su suerte. Algunos hombres fueron esposados ​​y tenían bolas de hierro atadas a los tobillos. Unos 10 africanos saltaron en lugar de ser empujados por la tripulación. Para el 22 de diciembre, unos 208 africanos llegaron con vida. La tasa de mortalidad fue de 53%.

A la llegada del Zong a Jamaica, James Gregson, propietario del barco, presentó un reclamo al seguro por la pérdida. Gregson declaró que el Zong no tenía suficiente agua para la tripulación y los africanos. El asegurador, Thomas Gilbert, rechazó el reclamo alegando que el barco sí tenía suficiente agua.

A pesar de esto, el tribunal jamaiquino falló a favor de los propietarios. Los africanos fueron reducidos a "caballos" y "carga", lo que provocó indignación entre los defensores anti-esclavitud. Pasaron años para que el acontecimiento fuera calificado como lo que realmente es: una masacre.
