  • health and illness (pain, confusion, sadness, anger, acceptance…)
  • living and working on-line (boredom, loneliness, comfort…)
  • home and the community (care, responsibility, selflessness, kindness…)
  • disadvantaged communities (anxiety, powerlessness, survival…)
  • nature — animals, fauna, environments (relief, communion, joy…)
  • global and climate change (shock, disgust, guilt, fury, grief…)
