the album art for the upcoming 10 year anniversary edition of Carly Rae Jepsen's EMOTION with expanded tracks

there's a big problem with the culture here on bluesky, and it's that not nearly enough people are posting about the 10 year anniversary of Carly Rae Jepsen's groundbreaking and timeless album EMOTION being this year and how awesome that is

Come join me on the organising committee for next year's #RSECon. It's a great way to give back and get to know the community, plus we'll cover the cost of your registration at the conference!

@ilcs.bsky.social maybe something for 1000 Words for Belonging?
