Heck yeah, much respect c: I am a little lazy and like the ease of just buying, but have thought about making my own someday down the road.

I am a baby cultivator so please take what I say with a grain of salt, I still have much to learn myself and welcome any mycological gurus to pop in with their 2 cents c:

I personally love rye, practically everything I have tried on rye has responded well. That said, I also put my A. subru lc to rye about a week ago and still haven't seen anything pop up. I have read that this species shouldn't be refrigerated for long term stoage, but I didn't give that tidbit much credit as I have heard the same about Pink Oyster and had zero issues bringing Pink out of cold storage. Thought this would be similar, but I might be wrong! I am going to keep the bag I inoculated and watch it to see if maybe it's just slow to break out of dormancy. I also kept a grown out agar plate of this in my room-temp workspace on the off chance something like this happened, so gonna do some transfers, try to get another bangin plate, and make a fresh batch of lc out of that in case the cold storage did fuck up this batch of A. subru. Live and learn!

For your situation, it's hard to say if it's a bunk syringe or if it's that A. subru truly can't tolerate being fridged and you got a syringe that had been fridged (I am hoping that the latter isn't the case, hoping I see some activity in my bag sometime soon!!). Fwiw, the culture from my post is from a syringe I got from The Mycelium Emporium, and it RIPPED out of the syringe, so I can highly recommend their product!

I'm probably not the best person to explain the party's structure because I am just some degen who finally got mad enough at the world to pull out of my depression doomscrolling, but my understanding is that it's not a party specifically owned/run by unions. Rather, the people running for office must run with the endorsement of at least one labor union, if not more. It was founded sometime in November by 3 people but they are currently working on registering the party and filling out structure, and plan to flesh out platform and policies post-holidays. FWIW, when I popped into the discord to see what was going on, it was like 580 people there, now a couple weeks later it's at 717. Their goal is to start getting people on ballots at the local levels as soon as possible, ideally challenging unopposed Rep/Dem candidates, and only later after there are many Labor Party candidates in offices nationwide will they try for a presidential nominee. Until then, there are channels for every state so people can organize with their state peers. I recognize that it is a young party and it's hard to say how things will go, but it feels better to work with them on what the workers in this nation need instead of melting further into my couch while reading yet another headline about Dems not following through and Repubs being sadistic pedophilic billie-sucking fucks.

Imagine being such a jaded fuck that you can't simply allow someone to identify how they so choose. Eat shit, PugJesus
