A WOMAN JUST WALKED PAST ME WITH A PIGEON SITTING ON EACH SHOULDER WHAT DOES THIS MEAN

I started playing ball hockey recently and last night I blocked a shot with my leg for the first time!! I felt pretty badass. The bruise is kinda high up so I'm not gonna post a photo but it looks roughly like this

The more people that turn up and show Wizards that supporting trans people is popular, the better. Make it inescapably clear to them who their players are and what you care about.

When you drag a woman by the hair, beat her and force her to kiss your flag, that’s how you tell the world you are the Good Guys

Attention Team Sealed players! Looks like you'll have a little extra cash for crackin' packs, cus we're reducing the price of our Team Sealed $10k to just $240! ✨ No action needed if you've already purchased your entry, you'll see that sweet refund for the difference in the next few days!

Full disclosure: I spent a couple of hours sorting out a bluetooth issue and getting Steam to work properly, but now everything is running beautifully :3 it's kinda crazy like I'm just telling my computer what to do and it does it?? I can just type "sudo reboot" into a box and it reboots?? Wizardry

Anyone else switching to Linux to avoid being forced to use Windows 11?

It’s Truth and Reconciliation Day in Canada 🧡 I recommend this beautiful book about Indigenising our approach to ecology and land healing by Dr Grenz, an Indigenous researcher in BC. She weaves her personal journey of learning in with realisations about how a new relationship with land can be built.

Quick reminder, today is the ✨LAST DAYYYY✨ to submit your creator application if you'd like to be a part of Shoebox! ✌️ We'll be sending out approvals between now and October 11th, so keep an eye on those inboxes! ✉️

This is definitely my favourite of the rotating @shoebox.gg taglines lol

The video is an uncomfortable watch, but an important one nonetheless. Hearing Cathy tell the story of what happened to her is an important part of Magic: The Gathering's history, one that needs to be known about and acknowledged: youtu.be/-WVnrKRsuqI?... #MagicTheGathering

Big, big, big deal y'all

Brownie points go to @levdev.bsky.social! Chase Stone, everyone!!!

20 brownie points for the first correct guess 😂

It may be the weekend, but we've still got SO much exciting news to share -- we're not taking a day off! Prepare to ✨Ascend✨ right out of your seats, and please welcome our next incredible artist guest Anthony Palumbo!

Let's keep those exciting announcements rolling with an artist that needs no introduction: tYleR wAL -- *ahem* I mean, Tyler Walpole!

MTG Arena mobile client and “Download another 2.4827363gb?“, name a more iconic duo

Please join us in welcoming our next powerhouse artist -- Winona Nelson (@winonanelson.com)! Winona has created art for over 150 unique Magic cards, and we're extremely excited for the opportunity to host her at Shoebox! ✨

Carmen on screen lfffggggg!!!

Yep. You read that right. TOM WÄNERSTRAND!!!

For everyone who needs it

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life. The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

You’re going to want to attend @shoebox.gg I assure you. Hurry to sign up for a hotel before we annouce the artists

And if you think you are safe -- well, shame on you for not caring about other people -- you probably are not unless you fit a very narrow definition of American. One that is decidedly not American. They are going to keep taking the rope given and use it to keep adding groups to their dark agenda.

Today's the day! As you know, we're hosting the Coolest™ Magic event of 2026, and you can lock in your badges RIGHT NOW 🎉 Weekend badges (with limited early bird pricing!) are now on sale over at shoebox.gg/badges! Who are we seeing there? 👇 #MTGCube

I’m so incredibly hyped to be part of the @shoebox.gg team and creating something so special and meaningful. Can’t wait to hang out with all of you there 💜✨

Sounds like a great time to sign up for the newsletter over at Shoebox.gg, if you ask me~ 👀 #MTGCube

The shooter literally had the minimalist “Loss” meme on their rifle. You cannot take anything this person said or did at face value. It’s all so deep soaked in irony and toxic fandom culture that if you aren’t actually researching this stuff for a living you really shouldn’t be engaging with it.

Deeply pained by the news of the school shooting in Minneapolis today. What kind of world produces a person who can fire through the windows of a church at children. I mean. Fucking hell

Kind of telling that companies apparently feel like they need to apologise more for using AI than for transphobia

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but you don’t need to be productive to deserve to live a good life in this world. You’re worthy because you’re here.

Next up for our staff intros we've got a household name in the Cube Community™ Gwen (@gdekker.io)! 🧊 From @cubecobra.com to Hedron Network, and @bostoncubeparty.com to CubeCon, Gwen's been around the block once or twice (or maybe even THRICE) and we're super grateful to have him on board! #MTGCube

My other big DIY project - I painted our old IKEA console unit green! It took a whole week and at one point I felt like I was drowning in panels but it was so worth it 🥰🥰🥰 honestly cannot recommend it enough if you want to refresh the look of an old piece of furniture. Immensely satisfying ☀️

Time to show off my new home office set up ✨ I built this desk myself with half a countertop slab + IKEA components, drilled all the holes, & went ham on cable management. First time making something like this and I think it came out pretty sweet 😚👌

Why YES that IS a fancy new graphic, thank you for noticing~ 💅 That's a great segue into our next staff highlight - @andy.luckypaper.co! Andy's the creative mastermind behind our slick graphics and design, including those iconic colorful pin badges ✨

Who is she waiting for

Picking up art changed my life and I only did it because I said to myself at the start “this is the thing I’m allowed to be bad at”
