For some people, spiders are no joke.

Arachnophobia affects between 2.7-6.1% of people and is one of the most common anxiety disorders, according to the National Institutes of Health. The wolf spider, garden spider and the house spider are most common in Tampa, Florida.

It’s unclear if New York Yankees pitcher Cam Schlittler deals with the fear, but he made sure that the insect was taken care of before a spring training game.

Schlittler called security to get a spider out of his locker before the team took on the Detroit Tigers, according to the YES Network. Schlittler didn’t pitch in the game as the Yankees fell to the Tigers, 12-1.

“A spider was successfully extracted from my locker today. Best security team in the league!” he wrote on X.

The 25-year-old Massachusetts native pitched in 14 games for the Yankees in 2025. He had a 2.96 ERA with 84 strikeouts. He had 12 strikeouts in Game 3 of the American League wild-card series against the Boston Red Sox, which elevated his popularity back in October.

The young pitcher has started two games in spring training this year. He has a 1.50 ERA and 10 strikeouts.

When everyone is healthy, Schlittler is set to rejoin a rotation with Max Fried, Gerrit Cole and Carlos Rodon for the 2026 season.

Jessie Buckley won the Best Actress award at the Oscars 2026 for her role in Hamnet. She played the role of Agnes Shakespeare, wife of William Shakespeare, in the adaptation of Maggie O’Farrell’s novel.

This was her second nomination at the Oscars, having competed for the Best Supporting Actress award for her role in The Lost Daughter in 2022. However, Sunday marked her first win, and she also became the first Irish person to win the Best Actress Award at the Oscars.

After the Oscars win, Jessie Buckley expressed her gratitude towards her co-actors and everyone involved in the making of Hamnet. She also thanked her family, saying:

“Thank you so much. This is…this is really something. Thank you to the incredible women that I stand beside; I am inspired by your art and your heart, and I want to work with every single one of you. To the producers who created this ship for us to stand in, and my shipmates for life—Hilda, Jessica, Lindsey, Zack—none of this is possible without you.”

She thanked her husband, Freddie Sorensen, and their daughter, whom they welcomed in December last year, saying:

“You, Fred, I love you man. I love you; you’re the most incredible dad. You’re my best friend, and I want to have 20,000 more babies with you, I do. I do! And Isla, my little girl who is eight months, who has absolutely no idea what’s going on and is probably dreaming of milk, but this is kind of a big deal, and I love you and I love being your mom, and I can’t want to discover life beside you.”

Buckley further expressed gratitude to Maggie O’Farrell and the film’s screenwriters. She thanked them for the role of Agnes and shared how it helped her explore mothership even further. She concluded her speech by saying:

“It’s Mother’s Day in the U.K. today, so I would like to dedicate this to the beautiful chaos of a mother’s heart. We all come from a lineage of women who continue to create against all odds. Thank you for recognizing me in this role. This is the greatest honor. I can’t even believe it.”

Apart from Oscars, Buckley’s performance in Hamnet has also earned nominations at the Baftas, Golden Globes, Critics’ Choice, and Actor awards this year.

Jessie Buckley spoke about women who’ve inspired her last year

Elle named Jessie Buckley as one of its Women in Hollywood honorees in November last year. As the outlet celebrated her journey and achievements, the actress also spoke about how she has been inspired by many other women in the industry. She said:

“Frances McDormand, Katharine Hepburn, Bette Davis, Barbara Stanwyck, and Laura Dern. What they play is so full. They’re not playing something to appeal. They’re playing a life that is complex and rich and uncomfortable and challenging and provocative.”

She said that these women taught her to be “ruthless” and “know herself”. Jessie Buckley has also starred in the likes of Wicked Little Letters and The Bride!

Meanwhile, Hamnet was released in November last year. It shares the story of William Shakespeare and Agnes’s son dying at a young age, which led to the writer’s iconic play, Hamlet.
