top 3 tunez: vic dong

Esteemed subscriber Vic Dong brings esteemed girl group (not subscribers) TWICE to the table. And now we have reached the end of the top 3 tunez backlog. Please, for the love of God, submit something. Maybe I'll submit something myself....!

YA YA by Beyoncé: if you are not listening to Cowboy Carter right now, what are you doin’? This song is very upbeat and guaranteed to get me pumped up for the day.
YOU GET ME by Twice: one from their latest mini albums. A hearty cheer-up, and we all deserve that.
I’m in love with you, sorry by j’san. Lo-fi music is sublime when it comes to concentration for me. I particularly love the short excerpt of confession at the beginning.

Submit your top 3 tunez here! https://forms.gle/o4UChktzPh3T7Z1u8

animal of the week

A oceanic manta ray I filmed in the Marquesas, French Polynesia. They're incredibly huge, as wide as some propeller planes. Their ethereal forms eclipse the light of the sun as they flew over myself as I dove the abyssal waters around these islands.. - esteemed subscriber Jason J

This week's animal of the week is presented by Jason J! For sure one of the most interesting animals to grace this newsletter. I don't think I've ever seen any that were this big — I think I've only seen them at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Remember to send in your pet of the week to ryan @ torrtle. co!!!!
