The Shadow Dance: Understanding Eclipses and a Tale of Two States
The Mystical Phenomenon of Eclipses
Before we journey into the heart of yesterday’s celestial spectacle, let’s unfold the mystery of what an eclipse truly is. In its simplest definition, an eclipse occurs when one celestial body moves into the shadow of another. The dance between the Sun, Earth, and Moon brings us the two types we’re most familiar with: solar and lunar eclipses. A solar eclipse happens when the Moon casts a shadow on the Earth, darkening the sunlit sky temporarily, while a lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth casts its shadow on the Moon, dimming its bright glow.
Yesterday’s Celestial Ballet: Eclipse Across the States
On a day marked in every stargazer’s calendar, the Earth, Moon, and Sun aligned in a rare display of cosmic synchrony, treating millions to an awe-inspiring eclipse. From the wide-open skies of Texas to the rugged coasts of Maine, Americans looked up to witness the marvel, each location offering a unique perspective on this celestial event.
In the Heart of Texas: A View from the Lone Star State
In Texas, spectators gathered in fields and on rooftops under the vast, expansive sky, anticipating the eclipse’s beginning. As the moon began its slow march across the sun, a hush fell over the crowd. The temperature dropped slightly, a welcome respite from the usual Texan heat, marking the peak of the eclipse. Though only a partial eclipse could be seen from Texas, the sun transformed into a brilliant crescent, a sight that left viewers in awe. The usual bright day dimmed into an eerie twilight, highlighting the surreal beauty of an eclipse observed from the wide, open spaces of the Lone Star State.
From the Pine Tree State: Maine’s Coastal Eclipse
Far to the northeast, Maine’s rugged coastline offered a different but equally breathtaking vantage point. Here, the eclipse was closer to totality, with the moon covering more of the sun’s disc. The chill in the air was more pronounced, wrapping spectators in a blanket of anticipation. As the eclipse reached its peak, the dimmed light cast the Atlantic Ocean into a palette of deep, mysterious blues and silvers, reflecting the sun’s fragmented silhouette on the water’s surface. For a moment, day turned into night, and the visible stars added to the ethereal quality of the Maine eclipse experience.
Differences in the Dance: Texas vs. Maine
While both states’ residents witnessed the same celestial event, their experiences were painted with different brushes. In Texas, the partial eclipse offered a unique perspective on how even a sliver of the sun can illuminate the vast landscape. The subtle temperature drop and the surreal, otherworldly lighting created an atmosphere of wonder.

Maine, closer to the path of totality, experienced a more dramatic change. The darker skies, the more noticeable drop in temperature, and the brief appearance of stars offered a more intense experience, emphasizing the eclipse’s transformative power.

Reflecting on the Shadow Dance
Yesterday’s eclipse was a reminder of the universe’s vastness and the beauty of its celestial mechanics. Regardless of where one stood — be it in the sunny plains of Texas or along the serene coasts of Maine — the event united millions in a moment of shared awe and wonder.
As we reflect on the memories of yesterday’s shadow dance, we are reminded of the importance of these celestial moments. They urge us to look up, to marvel at the skies, and to remember the wonder that comes with our place in the cosmos. Whether you experienced the eclipse from Texas, Maine, or anywhere else in its path, it was a moment of connection, not just with those around us, but with the universe itself.
Our Magical Horses in the midst of the eclipse
During an eclipse, the unique celestial event affects not only human observers but horses as well, reflecting their heightened sensitivity to environmental changes. As the daylight dims unnaturally during a solar eclipse, our horses may exhibit signs of confusion or restlessness, responding to the abrupt shift in light and temperature that contradicts the natural rhythm of their day. We observed that they gather closely together, seeking comfort in their herd as they would in response to other unexpected changes in their environment. Yet, with the guidance and reassurance of familiar, caring humans being us , these majestic animals remained calm and secure. We observed that, much like during the twilight hours, horses may transition to a more subdued state, grazing or looking around pensively, as if attuned to the unusual peace that accompanies the temporary shadow over the sun. This intriguing behavior underscores the deep connection horses have with their surroundings, reminding us of the profound and often unspoken bond we share with these graceful creatures.

AS News Makers we like to delve into the fascinating nature of eclipses and creatively interprets how such an event might be experienced differently from two distinct vantage points within the United States, blending astronomical facts with vivid storytelling.
Our team got together last night to share different experiences and capture different photos.

Millie Tipping is one of the biggest Wrexham fan as she started supporting them since she was 7 years of age.
Life of Wrexham She had a lot of Wrexham Signatures and art drawing since its favorite team and have been an interest since she was 7. She also had a scarf which it was signed by the owner Rob McElhenney. She describe her Autism which has a different sense of wiring.
She started playing disability football when she was 5 which she was used to it at the time until she started playing the girls football team with the other typical mainstream girls team when it was established. She had the best time of her life when she went with the traveling team. Until she was no longer on the girls team because of age restriction to joined the professional which she got really upset. However she was able to fight these dark days and haven’t give up Wrexham. Until one day she was able to bring a light at the end of the tunnel until she met Kerry Evans who runs the Disability Liaison officer of Wrexham AFC. It changed Mille’s life forever which she was grateful to have the opportunity to meet the players the day before the match and the hour before kickoff while each player use the back room to put on their team jersey. Millie was able to coop her emotions even when Rob and Ryan Reynolds became chairman of Wrexham and made a lot of friends since then. Her mom was grateful that Kerry give her season tickets so she can go to every home match. She was also the team mascot at the Quiet zone by the corner of Mold Road. There is a designated quiet entrance, at gate 12 on the Mold Road. She was able to be the person her own because she gets to have her own seat includes the same routine and same stewards who are qualified for special needs pupil and provides them the best experience of going to the football match.
The Racecourse because seating was available anywhere and it was quieter. Tipping, who has autism and is unable to sit in large groups, preferred the previous ambiance. She was shocked to learn that McElhenney and Reynolds were purchasing Wrexham AFC, and she still finds it hard to believe occasionally! Although Wrexham AFC’s home has changed, Tipping now has her own seat in a designated area and is attended to by stewards during games thanks to the creation of the Club’s Quiet Zone.
When Millie heard that super scorer player Paul Mullin’s son Albi was diagnosed with Autism, she wanted to do something useful like drawing an art project for Paul and his son Albi. She wanted to show that Mullin is not alone and Albi is also not alone, so she wanted to think it should be shown as a superpower instead of saying disability. She also wanted to draw the heart for the boots that also has Albi’s name on it. She also got a goodie bag for Albi which includes Paw Patrol blanket, a fidget toy, a little star pop it, a stress ball and a drawing of Albi riding on his dad’s shoulder. Later, she and her mom went to the back of the stadium to wait for Paul Mullin to arrive. While waiting for the Scouse player, she took pictures with the players and some of the staffs that worked for the team. When Super Mullin arrived, Millie was excited to see him, which she gives him the art canvas and a bag for Albi. Paul also thanked her for the generous gifts and give her a big hug and took a photo with Paul to hold the sign that said Unite For Access. She also wants a Wrexham win of 5-0 which she predicted for the match against Solihull Moors. Paul also scored a hat trick which it was the best match that she would never forget.
She was also at all of the home matches included the away matches which she was also witnessed the most important match when Wrexham won match 3-1 against Boreham Wood and the team won the League back to the EFL Division for the first time in 15 years.
The important lesson was to never give up your dreams and keep up your passion going. Always believe in yourself and keep up with the progress you make.

Dr. GRIMALDI’S TAKE AWAY
To My Radiant Team at Autisticana,
No words can encapsulate the depth of my gratitude for each one of you. Every morning, as the day breaks, a smile graces my face— a testament to the joy that comes from knowing our resilient team shines brightly and stands unwaveringly strong.
Our journey, marked by its trials and triumphs, has only forged us closer, transforming us into a more formidable collective and choir of neurodivergent voices. From the days preceding the tumult of the pandemic, I hold dear our exciting excursions. Our adventures into realms I never would have entertained, if not for your diverse and passionate interests, have enriched my soul. Through the pandemic’s isolation, together, we embarked on virtual explorations as travel bloggers. We embraced inclusive art and field projects, each one a symbol of our unity and creativity.
In my heart, I hold an eternal gratitude for standing by me during the darkest chapters of my life — notably, the profound loss of my beloved baby sister Cat. Your unwavering support, as I moved to Colorado to be by her side, was my solace. Through the lens of Zoom, you brought your dedication, hard work, and comforting presence into my nephews’ lives, who were brimming with fear. In those moments, it was clear: you were not just colleagues but my extended family.
Today, as we stand on the precipice of having published nearly 300 blogs and a dozen books, my heart holds so much pride for what we have accomplished together. The anticipation of our spring and summer tours fills me with excitement for what the future holds for each of us. Inspired by our collective experiences, I am filled by the hope in my heart and the love I have for this lifelong family we have crafted together. Indeed, it is together that we find our greatest strength.
With so much pride for all of you , and a heart full of admiration,
It all started when Bandit and Chili had a hanger over after a New Year’s party last night at Stripe and Trixie’s New Year’s party. While Bandit is on the floor and Chili is on the touch but feeling too hangover to do anything else by not moving in the living room by the TV. Bandit was questioning about the kids but Chilli explained to him that they’re on the phone talking to Muffin. Bandit then said happy New Years to Chilli but the both of them had no energy to play games with them until the kids showed up and want to play with them. In particular, a game in which Bluey, the captain, offers her guest Bingo a whale-watching trip, with Chilli and Bandit playing the whale and the boat, respectively. Bingo asked Bandit if he was sick but Bandit told the kids he tried think of a good example then Chilli said sleepy then Bandit said sleepy which stayed up late after midnight. Bluey told them that they had a new years party at Muffins, which Bingo told mom that Muffin saw her dancing on the BBQ Table and woke up Muffin when Uncle Stripe yelled “Cannonball” and jumped into the pool. Bandit chucked and said “classic stripe”. Bluey hoped that dad can be the boat while Chilli think that he does a better boat impression. So Bandit grunted at them to say one boat game and play by themselves afterwards. Bluey and Bingo were happy and said their favorite catchphrase “Hooray”. Chilli told bandit to enjoy the ride but Bluey told Chilli that she’s going to be the whale and opened her eyes like “WHAT” and Bandit laughed hysterically that she gets to be in their Whale Watching game.
The parents, who are obviously fatigued and suffering from irritation, would prefer to spend as little time as possible moving. Bluey asked Bingo to hand her money to get a ticket. They both hoped that the trip be the best Whale Watching Tour. However, Bandit wasn’t too sure about the trip but he told Bluey that she was too loud when she said “All Aboard” but giggle has soon as they start the boat ride. When Bluey started off the boat, Bingo carried her camera to explore the view while the sea is nice and calm. However, she warned everyone about rough seas, but Bandit refused to start the boat and already claim that there at the whale. Chilli quickly told Bandit that the whales are ages away from ocean. She also stated that the boat doesn’t decide the boat driver decide. Interruptly Bandit told Chilli that whales can’t talk and second point of fact, there are no such thing as rough sea. Bluey decides to control the boat (which he simulates by rocking back and forth). Bluey reminded the passenger that they accidentally out to rough seas and reminded the passengers to avoid the cafeteria before the storm ends. As soon as the storm ends Chilli excitedly yell Snappy Turtles, but Bandit was gonna think about swearing but ended up with “Oh, for Alright” because he didn’t want to do it which makes it harder for Bandit to keep his temper. Has it was quickly solved, he was able to do snappy turtles (which he makes it with his hands), and almost grabbed Bingo’s left foot but Capitan Bluey quickly grab her back on the boat and landed safety. Lastly Bandit was about to say we’re at the whale until Chilli shouted out for tidal waves which Bandit was getting exhausted but made a huge tidal wave and the girls giggled because they had a blast. By the time they got close to the whale, everyone said yes but Chilli interrupted them by saying no.
When they arrive at the whale, Bingo was excited to see the whale but Chilli’s lack of movement doesn’t appeal to them. Bandit said “weak” because the whale lack the energy for the audience. Bluey told Whaley to start the show but Chili continued to lack entertainment which Bandit called “the old girl’s not very lively today.” Chilli begin to look gruntley annoyed after a poor performance of her whale noise. Bluey taught they should try feeding food to the whale but Chilli quickly thought it would be a good idea. Bingo was curious that what do whales eat and Bandit said something very healthy and green. Chilli suggested that this whale should eat corn chips, while Bluey got on Bandits skateboard, she quickly remind Captain Bluey to get sour cream. Bandit was please that Bluey was able to get snacks for the lazy whale.
While Chili enjoyed eating corn chips, Bingo was curious that whales eat a lot of food. Bandit quoted to the girls that the whale could eat up to 5 bags in a day. Even after they feed her (junk food, no less, which she warns the children not to eat), she quoted for a good that “These are very bad for you Ok, kids? Only whales {while opened a soda can} should eat this”. She felt good eating junk food with a guilty pleasure. Then Bluey reminded Bingo to get her camera ready which they’re about to see the whale jump. Chilli wasn’t prepared for the jump but got worried so she ended up a half curl up which she was too full and too tired to do an actual jump out of the water. Bingo question that the whale should jumped out half of the water but Chilli told them that it’s not going to happen today. Everyone was shocked that whole whale trip was ripped off to watch a show for nothing. Leaving Chilli guilty and the rest of them furious and disappointed, while she lagged performance, Bandit felt furious that he had to do all of the work by helping the girls go through brave rough seas, snapping turtles and ttidal wave by being the boat while Chili lies there doing nothing and eats corn chips. Chilli promises them a whale show. Chilli got annoyed that Bandit did the work and Chilli didnt make whale trip helpful. So Bluey sadly decides to sail the boat back home while Bingo was disappointed that she didn’t get a chance to see the whale jump. Which makes Chilli feel bad about the whole whale watching experience so she turned on the tv to watch a documentary about whales. The kids quickly got excited to see the whale on tv because they wanted to learn about whales. Chilli used on of Bandit’s catchphrase “its got to be done” and Bandit was relaxed lying on the floor while the girls gets to sit on top of him.
While the kids watch the documentary, whales travel extremely long distance to find warmers to have their babies. The mother whale stay with their babies until the reach into the cold waters. When Bandit think that the mother whale is such a good mom but admires the motherly bound but Chilli looked annoyed about the trip guilting the whale. Until she realize that she observes the maternal qualities of the whale mother which she wanted to make it up to her daughters to impress them that she could be the best whale. While Bluey remark that this whale is more jumpy than the “whale” they presently saw, Motivated by such a loving act, Chilli switches off the TV so the girls can focus on what appears the greatest show: their mother gracefully leaping off the couch and landing squarely on the “boat”. Feeling extremely satisfied, landed on Bandit’s back. While Bandit screamed for the desire of pain. Bluey and Bingo leap out of the “boat” and “row” their way to a “desert island” (the couch). For their next game, they are no longer even need the boat or whale. Chilli and Bandit asked them of they wanted to continued the game which Bingo and Bluey seems like they had enough and wanted to explore the trip to themselves. It was all worthwhile in the end, and while Chilli lays on Bandit’s exhausted back, both parents can now finally enjoy some peace and quiet.
The lesson is that even if you’re too exhausted or hungover to participate, you can still attempt to be adaptable by moving a little bit during the game. Whale watching can be enjoyable, but if you play the game, your kids who wanted to play it will probably find it more entertaining. Exploring the water life makes it intriguing, and there are many of places along the shore where you can observe whales. Despite being extremely exhausted and hangover, Bandit and Chilli were still able to play the game while lying down. After viewing the television, Chilli felt guilty since she couldn’t perform the action and make it up for them even if she was able to make up the game of being the whale. She was able to finish the girls’ whale-watching excursion by jumping from the couch and landing on Bandit’s weary back as soon as she turned off the television, which immediately made the kids pleased.. It’s also a nice lesson that they get to show grownups being adults and not wanting to move about, which is another reason why adults and parents enjoy Bluey as much as children do.

Almost tipping over. Happy as a four leaf clover. Drifting as if about to sleep. A flow with much to reap. Yoga is when you ignore the ringing inside you. In yoga, you can lose balance, that’s true. But there is still grace to be found. When you are flowing without a sound. No sounds except breathing. No thoughts of seething. At the end of the practice, it’s almost time for bed. I’ve forgotten the fight, instead- I shut my phone off. Sinking into a bed that’s soft. In a dream, angry and falling. But landing gently, this fight is dulling. Morning comes with no alarm. Yoga helps, and never harms.

I Thought I’d share one of my favorite hobbies. Yoga has helped me a lot with anxiety over the years and I wanted to express that in a poem. Especially as anxiety can be a big hurdle for autistic people.

The Bridge to Well-being: Yoga and Its Positive Psychology Benefits for Individuals with Autism
In the multidisciplinary field of positive psychology, the pursuit of well-being and happiness is intricately linked to the practices that cultivate an individual’s strengths and virtues. Among these practices, yoga stands out as a beacon of holistic healing and growth, particularly for individuals on the autism spectrum. This ancient practice, deeply rooted in the cultivation of mental, physical, and emotional balance, offers a unique pathway to enhancing the quality of life for autistic people through its integration of movement, breath, and mindful awareness.
The Science of Yoga and Autism
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) encompasses a range of neurodevelopmental conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech, and nonverbal communication. Research in positive psychology and behavioral sciences reveals that yoga, with its emphasis on self-awareness and self-regulation, can significantly benefit individuals with autism by providing them with tools to navigate their sensory sensitivities and social communication challenges more effectively.
Enhancing Body Awareness and Control
Yoga practices, including asanas (postures) and pranayama (breath control), promote an increased sense of body awareness. For autistic individuals, mastering certain yoga poses can enhance proprioceptive input— the sense that helps us understand where our body is in space. This heightened body awareness can lead to improved motor skills, coordination, and overall physical confidence, which are often areas of difficulty for those on the spectrum.
Fostering Relaxation and Stress Reduction
The controlled breathing techniques central to yoga practice are powerful tools for calming the nervous system. For people with autism, who often experience elevated levels of anxiety and stress, learning to regulate their breath can be transformative. Breathwork in yoga teaches individuals to focus on the present moment and to control their physiological responses to stress, promoting a state of relaxation and reducing incidences of anxiety and meltdowns.
Encouraging Social Interaction and Communication
Group yoga classes provide a structured and supportive environment where individuals with autism can engage in social interaction within a non-competitive setting. The shared experience of practicing yoga with others fosters a sense of community and belonging, helping to improve communication skills and the ability to work cooperatively. Moreover, the non-verbal aspect of yoga, such as following visual cues and demonstrations, can be particularly beneficial for those who may find verbal communication challenging.
Promoting Emotional Regulation and Self-esteem
Yoga’s holistic approach emphasizes not only physical well-being but also emotional and mental health. Through regular practice, individuals with autism can experience improvements in self-regulation, a key area that affects emotional responses and impulsivity. The sense of accomplishment gained from mastering new poses can also significantly boost self-esteem and self-efficacy, contributing to a more positive self-concept and overall well-being.
Conclusion: A Pathway to Positive Transformation
Yoga, through its rich tapestry of practices, offers individuals with autism a pathway to enhancing their physical, social, emotional, and mental well-being. The principles of positive psychology embedded in yoga encourage a focus on strengths, resilience, and the capacity for joy and fulfillment. As the scientific community continues to explore the benefits of yoga for individuals on the autism spectrum, its potential as a tool for positive transformation becomes increasingly evident.
In integrating yoga into the lives of autistic individuals, we not only offer them a method to navigate their unique challenges more effectively but also empower them to discover and celebrate their inherent strengths and potential for growth. In this way, yoga serves as a bridge to a more inclusive, understanding, and compassionate world, where the well-being of every individual is nurtured and valued.

The world as we knew it has irocably changed. The pandemic, a seismic event that rocked the very foundations of our lives, has left in its wake a landscape rife with challenges. As we navigate this altered reality, where resources are scarcer and the tentacles of fear and uncertainty have sunk deep, the path forward can seem daunting, even insurmountable. Yet, it is precisely in these moments of profound change and apparent desolation that the seeds of hope and resilience can be sown.
Embracing Our Shared Humanity
The pandemic has underscored a fundamental truth that we often overlook: our interconnectedness and shared humanity. It has shown us that neglect and isolation, while seemingly easier choices in the face of adversity, do nothing to mend our broken world. Participating in the collective good, engaging with our communities, and extending a hand to those in need are not just acts of altruism; they are the very threads that can weave a tapestry of healing across the frayed fabric of our society.
Cultivating Resilience Through Connection
Human beings are inherently resilient, capable of extraordinary feats of strength and adaptability. This resilience is fortified not in isolation but through connection. In a world where fear has become a constant companion, making the effort to connect—to truly see and hear one another—can be a radical act of defiance. It’s here, in the shared stories of loss, hope, and survival, that we find common ground and a wellspring of collective strength.
How We Can Thrive
Foster Community: In a time when resources are scarce, building and relying on community networks can make a monumental difference. Whether it’s forming local support groups, engaging in community gardening projects, or creating platforms for sharing resources, every step towards fostering community is a step towards rebuilding our world.
Adapt and Innovate: The post-pandemic world requires us to be agile, to think creatively about solving the challenges we face. This could mean adapting our skills to new industries, finding innovative ways to support our livelihoods, or developing sustainable practices that reduce our reliance on strained resources.
Prioritize Mental Health: The psychological toll of the pandemic cannot be overstated. Prioritizing mental health—be it through seeking support, practicing mindfulness, or simply allowing ourselves to grieve and process our experiences—is crucial for nurturing resilience.
Champion Empathy and Kindness: Small acts of kindness can have ripple effects in a world grappling with fear and uncertainty. Empathy for others’ experiences, even when they differ vastly from our own, can bridge divides and foster a sense of solidarity and hope.
Educate and Advocate: Staying informed and advocating for equitable access to resources and support for all communities is essential. Education empowers us to make informed decisions, challenge injustices, and advocate for policies that protect and uplift the most vulnerable among us.
Looking Forward
The road ahead is uncharted, but not impassable. In every challenge lies an opportunity for growth, in every ending, the promise of a new beginning. By embracing our shared humanity, cultivating connection, and finding the courage to reimagine our world, we can forge a path forward—a path not defined by fear or scarcity, but by hope, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to one another.
Together, we can emerge from the shadows of the pandemic into a brighter, more compassionate world. Let us choose to participate, to engage, and to believe in the indomitable spirit of humanity. Our journey through this post-pandemic world is not just about surviving; it’s about thriving, together.
These are the words our team at Autisticana are living by each and every day thanks to our coach
Dr. Christine Grimaldi in hopes that you will all join us in some wonderful life changing projects this year.
When Marge wakes up within the morning, the living room is littered with broken pieces of pizza boxes. Marge follows Homer’s complaints to the kitchen, where he is in his underwear, perched atop the kitchen table, defying her hopes that a bear was the culprit. Marge tells Homer that she hopes he will give his health more consideration. While Marge informed Homer that horses can live up to 30 years, Homer believed he could live for only 30 years. Homer marches upstairs to tell his wife that he would start taking care of himself just as it appears he is taking Marge’s advice to heart. However, because he is out of shape, he suffers a heart attack and falls down the stairs. Soon after, Homer’s funeral takes place at the church, and the entire town mourns the loss of the patriarch of the Simpson family. Jonathan Frink, Jr. abruptly ends the meeting to declare that he has created a clone of Homer. He had intended to begin with a sheep, but ultimately decided he would want to test a more straightforward topic. Homer asks Marge if she cooked potato salad for the wake after she warns him to take this second opportunity seriously.
Suppose that a third Homer clone shows up the day after the second Homer clone’s funeral. A montage begins as numerous Homer clones eventually perish as a result of his ignorance. About three years later, the third Homer passes away, the fourth Homer tumbles into the third Homer’s open grave, and the fifth Homer uses a toaster to electrocute himself a year later. However, nobody knows what became to the sixth Homer. After learning he won’t be able to eat solid food for two weeks, the seventh Homer, seven years after the first one’s death, checks himself into the hospital and then ends his life. After a while, a fresh Homer clone is piling up dozens of dead clone corpses to reach a high shelf, only to have that clone fall and perish.
Thirty years later, the Simpson family, which now includes Lisa’s husband Milhouse, Bart’s children, Picard and Kirk, as well as Homer’s friends Lenny and Carl but not Maggie, laments the loss of yet another Homer clone. The family is shocked that this time, Frink is unable to bring Homer back because Homer had used up all of his clones due to blatant stupidity. Moe had seen enough of trying to win Marge over every time Homer died. Homer is now only a face on a screen since Frink stored his memories on a flash drive, which he conveniently plugged into the church’s television screen. Just to be clear, Marge wanted to scream, but she was fine afterward and escorted him home. Later, when Marge asks Milhouse how he is at the Simpson house, while Bart’s children are chasing Homer’s digital head around the property, he replies that he and Lisa have nothing on their minds but the squirrel that takes their bird food. Lisa claims that she informed him about her extensive volunteer work for the undead during their conversation last month. But when Homer begs Marge to restart the screen somewhere else in the house, she realizes she’s had enough of Homer’s behavior. Additionally, she instructed Bart to bring Homer with him so that she could give Bart the flash drive and allow Homer to live with him.
Homer is shown Bart’s new quarters, an abandoned Springfield Elementary classroom which is now the Lofts. Homer urges him to turn him 3D while he’s there, implying that he would strangle Bart if he had a body. A dejected Subsequently, Bart uses a teleporting door to send his two sons to his ex-wife Jenda’s house. There, he meets her new alien husband Jerry, and Jenda informs him that living in a car is not the same as camping. Bart regretfully informs Homer that he is in more need of guidance than ever. But Homer is useless when the monitor freezes.
While the hostess took over a dinosaur show to the show the audience how cool Jolly did a great job with her high legs and earned a goat, While working at Cretaceous Park, Bart laments missing his kids, despite Nelson’s advice to be grateful for his freedom. While Lisa serves the zombies vegan “brain” food in a zombie soup kitchen somewhere else, her husband Milhouse shows up to find her. When Lisa becomes irate and asks him why he’s here, Milhouse responds that he was worried that she wasn’t answering her phone and that he thought she might have been bitten by a zombie. When a zombie bites Milhouse’s arm, he becomes enraged and tries to make amends, but his digression only makes matters worse.
Meanwhile, Bart is in Hard Lad (a nightclub) with Nelson, who is trying to set him up and tells him it has been two years since his divorce. Nelson is able to go out with one of the two women, but Bart is made to leave the club by Julio, the owner, when he fails to make an impression on a girl and makes everyone feel depressed. Bart was riding his skateboard home when he noticed a billboard ordering him to move on. He had shock therapy at MovingOn and underwent a surgery that helped him forget about his ex. Later, he went to Dr. Hibbert’s Doctor Appointment with Lisa and Homer to get Milhouse the shot that would cure him, but he may endure zombie-ism. Dr. Hibbert explained to Milhouse that the brains he was tempted to have were teaching brains. When bart woke up the following morning, He had managed to get some sleep with a woman who was feeling anxious by the screen; Homer had stopped freezing and was back to normal. Following that, Bart continues to thrive in his one-night stands and is rewarded with the opportunity to make breakfast. At Swapper Jacks, Lisa and zombie Milhouse left the store to eat garden brains until they were assaulted by Jimbo, Kearney, and Dolph. Milhouse fights back by using Ralph Wiggum to knock them out and cook their brains later. Bart returned to the Simpsons’ home later that day to inform Marge that Homer misses her but won’t accept his apologies due to his absurd thinking. Marge is thrilled when Bart put the flash drive into the television, but Bart unintentionally filmed The House Wives of Venus. Marge assumed it was only fitting to be grieving for a guy who had been buried 127 times and to sip from a mug with Homer’s eyes crossed out.
However, he returned to his apartment on the same day that Bart was utilizing Little Black eBook to find all of the women to puzzle, despite still having feelings for Jenda. Until he receives a parcel from Homer containing a robot body (the body is made of metal, but his head is the same and can be separated from it), his sons arrive via hover scooter teleportation. They inform Bart that although they appear cheerful, their mom is depressed and that Jerry moved out. Jenda is in tears, revealing to Bart that she was a fool for buying her new alien boyfriend, Jerry, a shedding tank he wanted, only for Jerry to humiliate her by ending their relationship and finding someone else. Bart calms her down by reminding her that her crying reminds him of what he lost and that he is really trying to get his life back on track. Jenda is impressed with Bart and invites him for a night out at dinner. While Bart told Homer to babysit his sons while they go on a date, but Homer’s head gets to watch the boys while demands his body to go to Moe’s Tavern. During their dinner at the Gilded Truffle, Bart and Jenda develop a romantic relationship. They promise their children that they would make an effort to get things back to normal. In another scene, Homer’s grandsons put his robot body on fire, and they flee when they see him.Santa’s Little Hybrid approaches Homer and asks about his identity. The boys initially believe that Bart has broken his pledge by not working and being sluggish. He tells them that nothing has changed in his routine and that he is only taking a break from the Cretaceous Park to assist in watching them. Bart notes that Jenda needs to get to work at Google in order to save people who have been compromised by unidentified hackers using driverless automobiles. Cut to a scene in which Abraham Simpson II is being held captive by an autonomous vehicle. While working at Cretaceous Park, Bart hosts a dinosaur show. Despite Dr. Hibbert’s ability to reverse Milhouse, Lisa finds the zombie Milhouse more appealing after witnessing him attack the bullies, whereas a normal Milhouse would lack the courage to fight them off. Lisa doesn’t want to undergo the reversal process, even though Dr. Hibbert can reverse Milhouse; she finds the zombie version of Milhouse more alluring after witnessing him attack the bullies, as a regular Milhouse would not have had the courage to repel them. Dr. Hibbert escalates his aggressiveness and starts stalking Lisa during one of their dates at the Cretaceous Park, attempting to persuade her to take Milhouse to the hospital right away so he can get cured. She informs Hibbert that she is opposed to Milhouse receiving zombification treatment. She finds Milhouse the zombie more alluring than the human version of him. Bart then tells the audience to explain about the presentation about prehistoric past while dinosaurs were riding cars in circles.
Later that evening, at the house, Bart and Jenda proceeded to their adequate routine. Jenda discovers that Bart has been watching a baseball game instead of paying attention while they are seated together and she starts chatting to him. Bart responds sharply, claiming that since she is texting, she isn’t even paying attention. Following their disagreement, Jenda tells Bart that she had hoped for a different outcome this time. The fact that neither Bart nor Jenda had been focusing on the other had been the source of their complaints. Bart tried to inflict damage on Jenda’s feelings by making some snarky remarks. Bart then goes to Moe’s for a drink, but Lisa beats him up before he gets there. Bart then goes to Moe’s for a drink, but Lisa beats him over before he gets there. She’s drinking her way out of her quandary about whether or not to turn Milhouse back into a human, and she even happens to like the smell of rotting meat. There’s Marge too, tucked neatly behind a bush as tall as her hair on the table, where she makes the observation that they have no concept what a difficult marriage entails. Lisa and Bart are curious as to how she managed to spend so much time with Homer. She continues by advising Bart and Lisa that when you make a decision based only on your feelings, you should follow through on it—despite the fact that Marge sat behind the plant and informed her children that they had no idea what a difficult marriage is like. Lisa was wondering why she had chosen to spend so much time with Homer. An inebriated Marge mentioned that decisions in life can be difficult, such as Lisa’s marriage or Bart’s divorce, and Moe informed her that he has been looking after Duffman in his senior years. Marge responds that she is going to be with Homer forever after electrocuting herself and transferring into the TV screen when Lisa asks if this implies that she is going to take him back. The earlier Goody Gobblegame reappears in the backdrop, but Homer consumes Marge’s head while playing it. Following the conclusion of the game, Moe remarks, “I’m not sure if that was a really boring video game, love, or suicide.”
Returning to Dr. Hibbert’s, Milhouse is completely recovered and no longer possesses any zombie qualities. In order to demonstrate this, Hibbert places a brain in front of Milhouse, who then faints into Lisa’s arms, causing her to regretfully beam with joy. Bart is back at the house, explaining to Jenda (who is seated in front of the TV) why their relationship isn’t working out. She acknowledges this and says it’s the reason she began seeing Jerry once more behind his back. Bart decides he’s officially over her at this point. Back at MovingOn, Bart’s recent experiences were just the result of a neural implant inserted in his temporal lobe by the MovingOn woman. He may now return home because it was all a dream, but before he does, he wants to confirm that he is healed. The MovingOn representative goes on to say that they assist many individuals who suffer from obsessions, including Disco Stu, who is now known as “Nothing Stu”.
Eventually, Homer returns to the Simpson home with a sophisticated robot body akin to C-3PO, and he is performing a variety of tasks while Marge, having not seen him in 35 years, expresses admiration for his new form. Bart tells Lisa that he knows a place where she may get treatment if things don’t work out between her and Milhouse. He also notes that Milhouse was healed in his dream, but Lisa clarifies that things are dire because there is no treatment for zombie-ism. Lisa swoons when Zombie Milhouse suddenly materializes behind them and gives her a dead flower. Then, Santa’s Little Hybrid asks Lisa if the undead Milhouse is real, to which Lisa disappoints him by saying that it is.
A lighthouse guiding others through skies of blue.
Life’s too short for bitterness and strife,
For turning away from the light of life.
In the reflection of the waters, so serene,
See the person you’ve always been meant to be.
So, let’s not turn the good into something less,
Let’s build a world of happiness and kindness.
Where every soul, no matter how deep the scars,
Can find their way to the stars, unbound by bars.
Embrace this journey, with its ups and downs,
Wear your heart’s goodness like the noblest crowns.
For in the end, it’s love that weaves our story,
In a tapestry of light, in all its glory.
Let’s stop turning the good into negativity,
And walk together, towards a life of positivity.
