You’ve heard me voice the standing suspicion that one of the deeper reasons we have such a hard time as a society reckoning with the reality of #care and the needs of caregivers is the degree to which these things involve literally dealing with shit.

This issue is glancingly alluded to here, in an otherwise decent-for-the-NYT piece on the structural crisis in care. I wish someone with credibility would take it on more plainspokenly, though. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/24/opinion/caregiving-crisis.html
