Safe to Drive with Sidewall Bubble?

Everyone,

I've had my car for almost 7k miles and I already got a sidewall bubble in the front passenger side tire. It must have come from hitting one of the tens of thousands of potholes I encounter on my daily commute from Burbank to Downtown LA.

Here is my question. How safe is it to be driving without replacing the tire? Obviously DUH the safest option will be to replace the tire(s) but I'm moving somewhere close to the Metro Red Line so I won't be driving during the week. If this is the case, is it still something that I should take care of immediately and replace? Or is it safe enough where I can take my time and shop around for the right deal, etc.

Since the first thing you guys will say is "search", I did a search for "sidewall bubble tire" and didn't quite find what I was looking for so any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
