Harmless to us, you mean.

Which is why I like them.
Also, they look really cool.

Part-Time Omen of Death
We get the cellar spiders here all the time. Just the other day I rescued one and put it outside 8efore anyone could squish it.
Stupid doomed timeline...
If I were to create a fictional universe that had giant spiders, I would base them on daddy long-legs.

Shut up!
Those aren't daddy-longlegs, those are spiders pretending to be daddy-longlegs. So there. I was talking about the Harvestman.
No, the harvestmen are the ones who are pretending to be daddy longlegs. The cellar spiders are the real daddy longlegs.

If you want a real spider to worry about being venomous look no further than the Brown Recluse.
Most venomous spider in the Great Plains region (including Colorado). It's one of at least 5 venomous species in Colorado which include the Desert Grass Spider, the Wolf Spider (fast buggers they are!), and the Western Black Widow. (The last one is the Yellow sac.)

Shut up!
I'm assuming by venomous you mean "potentially harmful to humans," right? Because all spiders are venomous.

^ In that sense yes. The "potential" attribute is somewhat useless though, 4 of those 5 spiders have harmful venom when it comes to humans. (The last one the desert grass spider simply cannot bite through our skin so the venom is moot.)

Awesome!
You go, spiderfriend.

I wonder what the outcome would have been if that was a giant hornet.

Must Keep The Web Intact
Fits in Heavy's pocket!
There's an episode of Peppa Pig that wasn't shown in Australia because it taught the lesson that spiders can't hurt you, or something similar. Probably a perfectly good lesson elsewhere. Not so here.

Our Favorite Cowgirl, er, Mare
That picture just reminded me. I kind of get the feeling the Internet tries to promote arachnophobia.
I like to keep my audience riveted.
IIRC, the spider in that picture is harmless

Trans Siberian Anarchestra (it/they)
(Bacon: Reminds me of this prose selection.)
After a silly conversation about the possibility of domesticating trapdoor spiders and carrying them in your pocket with you throughout the day, a friend of mine tatted me a pocket spider. ::::D
Her name is Sondra. ::::3
Collector Of Fine Oddities
Oooh, a facebook acquaintance of mine has been credited with discovering a new species of Tarantula.
IMO it should be dubbed Species priscillae but that's rather unlikely. . .
Trans Siberian Anarchestra (it/they)
One of the world’s leading tarantula experts, Rick West, got in touch with Ms van Andel after seeing the picture.
He told her that no official record of that spider existed and asked her to collect specimens for examination. The females can grow to between seven and 10 centimetres in length.
“This was of course difficult, I was very uncomfortable with spiders before, let alone tarantulas,” said Ms van Andel. “Now I sleep, eat and live with them.” Over the past two years, Ms van Andel, a wildlife photographer, has been going to wadis two to three times a week during the winter.
However, Mr West said they were often much maligned and killed in many countries.
The spider itself is also very sensitive as it is nocturnal, and long exposure to sunlight can be lethal.
For protection from the sun and predators, the spider constructs a barricade of mud and webbing – another reason why it has eluded so many.

...and the pholcids are indeed venomous.
But harmless nonetheless.
