So after a ride on the wekeend I noticed 2 spokes were loose, so I tightened them to roughly the same tension as the others. Checked the wheel and it's wobbly. I never cased/hit anything hard so I'm not sure how this happened.
I'm not confident truing a wheel, but I've got a ride planned this weekend and won't be able to book it in with the bike shop before then.
Basically want to know if this is still safe to ride for a while, won't be doing any gnarly tech, drops or jumps to be safe

Yes.
I’m broke AF so I’ve been stuck riding with 3 broken spokes and an absolutely unbelievable amount of wobble (like this times 3) in the back wheel for a few months now.
Definitely not a brag, honestly kind of major bummer. But it’s worked so far. Just take it easy and get it serviced whenever you can!
Rideable? Absolutely.
A good idea? Nah.
If you have a spoke tensioner you could try realigning it yourself but otherwise go to a mechanic and get her fixed.
