Ok, as a biology major, y’all need to chill. Snakes this big are incredibly docile. They have been bred this way. Furthermore, the person taking care of this animal could not properly take care of them if they did not feed them regularly and well. This child is in no more danger than if she was sitting next to a big dog.

I love people being illogically scared of snakes getting dragged by fact and logic

How to Attract the Signs
**Check Sun, Moon, and Venus
Aries: Don’t be timid. Compliment them, but don’t be insincere. Admire their appearance, but also their mind. They love lively discussion on current events, sports, music, politics, art—find something that clicks for you both. Don’t be afraid to go to them for advice. Never try to order them to do something or restrict them, though. Just be spontaneous, and go with the flow.
Taurus: Be patient. Take your time really getting to know them. Make them laugh. Be sure to make the first move when the time is right. Buy them food, and they’ll love you. Money is a good topic of conversation. Feel free to show off your prized possessions and show lots of admiration and praise for theirs. Don’t monopolize the conversation. Let them speak about what they’re passionate about.

Eudaimonia vs Happiness
Eudaimonia is an Ancient Greek word, particularly emphasised by the philosophers Plato and Aristotle, that deserves wider currency because it perfectly corrects the shortfalls in one of the most central but troubling terms in our contemporary idiom: happiness.
When we nowadays try to articulate the purpose of our lives, we commonly have recourse to the word happiness. We tell ourselves and others that the ultimate rationale for our jobs, our relationships and the conduct of our day to day lives is the pursuit of happiness. It sounds like an innocent and pleasant enough idea, but excessive reliance on the term means that we are frequently unfairly tempted to exit or at least heavily question a great many testing but worthwhile situations.
The Ancient Greeks resolutely did not believe that the purpose of life was to be happy; they proposed that it was to achieve Eudaimonia, a word which has been best translated as ‘fulfilment’.
What distinguishes happiness from fulfilment is pain. It is eminently possible to be fulfilled and - at the same time - under pressure, suffering physically or mentally, overburdened and, quite frequently, in a rather tetchy mood. This is a psychological nuance that the word happiness makes it hard to capture; for it is tricky to speak of being happy yet unhappy or happy yet suffering. However, such a combination is readily accommodated within the dignified and noble-sounding idea of Eudaimonia.
The word encourages us to trust that many of life’s most worthwhile projects will at points be quite at odds with contentment and yet are worth pursuing nevertheless. Properly exploring our professional talents, managing a household, keeping a relationship going, creating a new business venture or work of art… none of these lofty goals will probably leave us cheerful and grinning on a quotidian basis. They will, in fact, involve us in all manner of challenges that exhaust and ennervate us. And yet we will perhaps, at the end of our lives, still feel that these tasks were worth undertaking. We’ll have sampled something deeper and more interesting than happiness.
With the word Eudaimonia in mind, we can stop imagining that we are aiming for a pain-free existence - and then berating ourselves unfairly for being in a bad mood. We’ll know that we are trying to do something far more important than smile, that we are striving to do justice to our full human potential.

that scene in spider-man: homecoming UNDER THE RUBBLE MADE ME FEEL SO MANY EMOTIONS!! tom holland did a fucking impeccable job throughout the whole movie, but that scene was so real and raw and unfiltered, almost. he is a scared kid, not a superhero. he’s a 15 year old being crushed beneath a parking garage instead of at the school dance with all the other kids his age. he’s so scared, and panicked, and in over his head tom holland you got this shit RIGHT
