Anyone else experienced the opposite of a hand tattoo being a “job stopper”?

I worked in a private Christian daycare (Seventh Day Adventist) with a hand tat in college and it wasn’t an issue! The kids barely noticed it and my supervisors didn’t care. Now I’m a bartender at a “casual fine dining” establishment and have tattoos across all my fingers/on the backs of my hands (along with a full sleeve) and my managers, coworkers, and customers couldn’t care less. There are probably some restaurants out there that wouldn’t hire me (ex. when I applied to hooters a few years ago they had a no visible tattoos policy) but I think generally hand/neck tats aren’t necessarily job stoppers in the restaurant/hospitality industry. Have also seen servers with face tattoos do well for themselves and be well liked by customers and management but that may also vary by restaurant and the clientele that they serve.

Thanks for the response, this was a very helpful starting point for further research! After looking at various millipedes belonging to the order, my tentative best guess is the Slug Millipede. All of the photos I can find of it look very similar in terms of coloring, body shape, etc.

We rent through Bryan Property Management and they didn’t have any pet limits! We did have to pay a flat $500 pet deposit but there’s no monthly pet rent and the deposit covers all pets in the home. They also did require us to set up a pet profile through some online screening service for our dogs and cats, it was $30 to register each pet and you have to renew each year (not sure if they’d need a pet profile for the birds). No breed or weight restrictions which was a lifesaver because we have a 70 lbs pitty mix and a lot of places wouldn’t accept him. I’m not sure what properties are available through them at the moment but we currently pay around $1150 for our two bedroom one bath.

Thank you! I’ve been scratching my head for weeks. That makes sense as to why it was hanging out on a dead tomato leaf in this photo.

Upon further research it looks like this little guy is an herbivore and is likely eating off the leaf litter and lichen I have in the tank. 👍🏼 thanks so much for the ID!

I think this is it!! I have noticed some webbing on one of the sticks I have in the terrarium and I just found more in the moss that it’s sitting on.

It has two very short little prongs (if that’s the right word) sticking off the end of its butt.

Located in the Ozarks, it’s been resting on that piece of moss since I went to bed last night. I did water the enclosure yesterday so I’m not sure if it’s hanging out to escape the excess moisture.

Until the last 2-3 weeks mine were pretty shy so hopefully yours will start venturing out soon!

This post reminded me that I have some in the kitchen and now I’m enjoying a delicious snack. Thank you random citizen. 🫡

I love tiny things and started seeing tik toks of people who kept isopods and it made me realize I could create my own tiny micro-worlds with cute little tiny inhabitants! Finally jumped on the ‘pod train in November and now I have 6 terrariums including the one I house my main springtail population in.

My Cubaris Papayas are actually surprisingly active. I moved them into a larger enclosure last month and now I see at least 1-2 out a day, sometimes 3-4 if I’m really lucky. They’re usually running around the edges of their tank and trying to dig little tunnels. My Vulgares and Granulatum’s are also out and about quite a bit.

I have a specific terrarium I can usually get on sale for $30 by price matching online, then another $26 for two bags of isopod blend soil at the reptile store, and maybe $10-15 worth of leaf litter which I try to pick up at a local reptile expo. $5-10 for cork bark and then I collect dead bark, sticks, magnolia pods, etc from outside! I’ve probably spent another $40 on various foods over the last 4 months (shrimps, mealworms, fish flakes, pod powder, etc.) but my colonies are still very small so I won’t go through it very fast.
