Correlation and signs for musk up tropical

This work is in light of the world pandemic to mask up. However, it references political voice, freedom to express, and the role of advocacy as a public good. The side with abstract designs is a flip side to world politics’s authoritarian modes since the pandemic began in early 2020. The civic freedoms to travel repressed to a degree unknown to many generations, even boomers.
