Shoebox 2 electric boogaloo

My flight got cancelled for last night so I rebooked for noon today. Then rebooked that for the 8:50am that got delayed until 10:50. Then they changed the flight time to 9:20, then delayed the flight until 10 again. But I’m in the air now. Had to take an unpaid day b/c teachers don’t get PTO. ✌️

One last game of tower (and maybe a game of commander afterwards) before I hit the hay.

It’s been real #shoebox2026. See you next year!

What Lego piece could I use for Etherium Cells?

Am I wearing a short dress again today? Yes. But am I going to be freezing? Also, yes.

So far it’s been an amazing weekend of almost nonstop Wizards Towers. Getting some games in with new and old friends. I’ve loved every moment. One more day of gaming! Stop by table 5 to try it out for a free pack and an entry to win a sealed tower!

One spot available at Tower right now! We’ll be leaving at 4 today! 🫡

One spot at Wizard’s Tower open right now. About to start a game! #shoebox2026

You can enter our raffle and get a free pack at Table 5 at @shoebox.gg #Shoebox2026 All you need to do is sit down to play some Wizard’s Tower! If the table’s full, you can still sit down (we will let you play our hands). We have 4 people in our team so we try to keep a game going at all times.

Last night we asked the front desk for some firm pillows but they took forever and we both fell asleep before they showed up. But the pillows were on the beds this morning. So like…. they came in the room? While we were asleep? 🫣

I don’t know what this guy behind is talking about but he keeps talking about how he’s “never refused a load”. “Look me in the fucking eyes and tell me the price. It better be a fucking six figure number. But I never refused a load. Fucking never. So I’m not the problem bro.”

Two games of tower happening and I’m not playing in either of them Does this mean I’ve won at spreading the word?

We’re over here ready to play!

Table 5! Table 5! Table 5!

Me: it’s only a ten minute walk it’s fine Weather: *immediately begins hailing* Me:

What is a respectful way to tell a cab driver I don’t want to answer personal questions? I usually just lie about whatever they ask me but it always feels weird.

The whole team’s (almost) here! So excited for Shoebox this weekend! Please come by for a game at Table 5!

There’s also a giveaway on this form for a sealed tower!

Brb unpacking my bag to pack my cute jacket outfits weeeee

I haven’t posted the full tank yet but here’s my babies on their glory The school tank has some goldfish right now (from the Kinder’s science unit that they didn’t want)

Wild to discover someone I’ve known online in a game for a while ends up living in the same city as me

Three of my students have been arguing nonstop for weeks. Just constantly instigating stuff with the others. I just fussed at them. I said “it’s 9:45 and I’ve already had enough today” One kid looks at me and goes “it’s only 9:44”

One of my students told me that I looked very pretty today. I said, “thank you, but you know, I think I look pretty every day.” And she stared at me for a moment and then said, “Well…. maybe not every day.” 🙄

Oh it’s 2am. Guess I’ll go take a nap 🫣

This mother fucker calls me Jessica one more time I’m going to punch him On women’s day no less I’ve corrected him five times

Just want you to know that in the Black Lotus discord they always shorten "Black Lotus" to "BL" and in my brain those are not the same thing

At Shoebox we're going to have a booster box for you to can pull a mystery pack of. I'm assuming people won't scoff at free stuff, but what value do you think the chase packs should be worth?

Last year, I flew to Florida via Delta and had my laptop powered off and in a shock-proof case inside of my checked bag. The baggage drop person told me I was wrong and Delta policy said I had to remove it from my checked bag and carry it on. So I carried the thing around.

This is the kind of joke I live for

Did a chatbot built by Palantir and Anthropic tell US forces to bomb a school full of little girls in Iran? The evidence sure seems to point that direction. From Gaza to the Caribbean to Tehran to your own intestines, letting chatbots guide life and death decisions looks worse every day.

Magic is at its best when competition makes the table better, not bitter. 💖 At Shoebox, the competition is honorable and the glory is real. Competitors could take home one of three stunning trophies sculpted by our special guest @cutemonster.bsky.social with @andy.luckypaper.co 's patterns! 👇🧵

One beginning, many paths.

Did you know that when you roll a die, you have a 100% chance of getting the number you roll? Because the number you roll will always be the number you roll when you roll a die. Unless someone else rolls the die for you, of course. But then you didn’t roll it if they do.

Wanna see da baby?

My attendance gets worse every day 😵‍💫 Up to 11 absences

Can’t wait to finish setting this up tomorrow. 🥰 Gonna swing by the fish store and grab some plants : ] THEN! A couple fishies!

There is a Junji Ito x BlackMilk collab right now and it is the perfect mix of weird and fabulous.

Real life is for March! Oh fuck

Starting my second fish tank 🫣 Essentially, I needed an established tank set up at home for when I have to move the fish this summer. But I think I’ll keep two tank set up during the school year.

This is funny because I usually say "no" when anyone asks me if I do anything nerdy. Then when I get caught in the lie (which I often do) I just say, "Sorry, I didn't know if you were gonna be weird about it" Because most people ARE weird about it.

Making sub plans for when I go to shoebox ahhhhh it's almost hereeeee

for every occasion

My favorite student made me this today.

Gonna change my work email signature to "Your favorite teacher's favorite teacher."

This afternoon one of my students took off their shoes and sock while sitting on the carpet for a story. But don’t worry, they did it so they could chew on their toenails. I am very grateful they sat at the back so they didn’t have to endure shame from the class. What planet is this kid from? 🤢
