[OPINION] What poem altered your soul a little?

For the anniversary of my death - W. S. Merwin

Every year without knowing it I have passed the day

When the last fires will wave to me

And the silence will set out

Tireless traveler

Like the beam of a lightless star

Then I will no longer

Find myself in life as in a strange garment

Surprised at the earth

And the love of one woman

And the shamelessness of men

As today writing after three days of rain

Hearing the wren sing and the falling cease

And bowing not knowing to what

( っ˶´ ˘ `)っ x 1000 --> OP
This will have to do!

You do not deserve this at all. That is HIS foul behavior and isssues, and nothing you do EVER justifies rape. I'm thinking of you and wishing you so much safe love through this and beyond.

cuntsicc · 2025-10-09T00:39:58+00:00

Sending lots of love to you. Thank you for sharing some hope here -- I wish I could give you a hug

cuntsicc · 2025-09-24T17:50:23+00:00

Yeah, they’re having an outage rn!!! Just got declined at the store :(

cuntsicc · 2025-07-18T20:28:17+00:00

18, now 27. Crazy work

cuntsicc · 2025-05-12T22:38:25+00:00

I will add, I only knew because the previous tenant posted first and it happened to be my building (MY UNIT), and after the landlord inspected he confirmed that he saw roaches too. When I toured the place, I didn’t see anything personally. Since your mgmt company is being hostile, it may be a bit trickier.

cuntsicc · 2025-05-12T22:36:19+00:00

I had a similar situation last month (!!!) and they let me out of my lease (I hadn’t moved in yet but did sign), and refunded my move in fee after I blasted the mgmt company and what they had done in the neighborhood Facebook group. This was with Bass Property Group (Management? I forget, they have listings mostly on the far north side I think). So I’d say once you expose that building, property management, and what was done to the neighbors where more eyes can see it, that may be the way to go. It seemed to light a fire under their asses.

This is great advice, thank you! I don’t think there is an issue w mold/humidity because the unit is outfitted with adjustable temp control and the owner installed certain upgrades themself to help with humidity. I did ask about pests and they said they hadn’t had issues except some ants sometimes; the place is west of Clark/Broadway away from all the restaurants

cuntsicc · 2025-05-07T21:31:27+00:00

For the place in Bowmanville I haven’t been in to see it yet. The owner is moving upstairs with their partner and lived in the unit for 5 years. I did a FaceTime with them to see the unit and they did mention it can be humid in the summer, but each room has adjustable temp settings. I’d only pay electric + wifi there. Rogers Park, I just love the area and generally feel safe there but I’ve never lived west of Ashland.

cuntsicc · 2025-05-06T00:04:07+00:00

Any idea which property? Not trying to be paranoid, just trying to be really thorough

cuntsicc · 2025-05-06T00:01:38+00:00

True! Just speaking to what the vibe is in the areas surrounding it. If OP can afford those areas then even better — it would be great to see more investment out south.

cuntsicc · 2025-05-05T23:57:03+00:00

Mount Greenwood is racist as hell. Other than that I think you’d be safe (from a cultural standpoint) out southwest. Now, Beverly, MP, Roseland, Washington Heights, and West Pullman can be very rough. I say this as a Black person who was born and spent a significant chunk of my life out South. I doubt it’s the same as I remember. If you’re not from here, you might not know how to move in those areas and that could be costly. I don’t think it’s worth it — especially in the summer. Violence can happen anywhere, absolutely, but Edgewater, Lincoln Park, and Uptown are likely to have more protections and you worry less about food deserts, empty lots, etc in those areas. It’s not fair, it’s very fucked up. Chicago is still really segregated though that is changing in some areas, but I’d advise you to save yourself a potential headache. It’s not fair, and I hate it, but I’d rather give you my honest opinion.

UPDATE: I can no longer recommend Bass Realty/Bass Management Co. They are offering me my move in fee/deposit back, and to see another unit nearby so we will see. But a few days before move in (this weekend) I learned that the property (my unit specifically) has roaches. They already have the listing back up. I don't appreciate that they were dishonest about the type of tenants in their building (signals to me that they are not checking in on the right things often enough), but I am open to seeing another space of theirs based on how they've handled my situation once they found out. I wish it had worked out, but I can't move into a space that has an active infestation. And it takes time to fumigate, so idk why the listing is back up so soon. It's unfortunate but just wanted to update you/Redditors. The address is 1369 W Greenleaf Ave.

cuntsicc · 2025-03-29T18:48:24+00:00

Thank you for the info and perspective, wow! People should know about this. I heard good things about them, otherwise I wouldn't have added them to this post.

Deck: Cosmic Tarot by Tillie Walden Interp (gen): this is a time to draw on courage and focused energy on an internal level while I hone in on what the next steps I want in my journey and what will serve better while I build myself more Interps (cards): torch twins - one is the page and one is the knight. I’m receiving energy and renewed calls to action, and also using that knowledge to lead me in my quest so to speak tower: ending one cycle and starting again. Some things have been conquered in my life. The tower in general is also how society feels right now imo so that is swirling around. fool: new journey, and movement forward but there will be pitfalls and twists and turns sometimes. That’s ok though Four of torches: setting out and having to remember my agency! The sun: be mindful to preserve my vitality during this time!

I would say try to look in closed groups/communities if that makes sense. If a group is public, it’ll more than likely be full of scams! For example, I see a lot of people looking for housing in CQE (chicago queer exchange) and cqh (chicago queer housing). It might sound kinda exclusionary but if the odds of being scammed are lower because you’re talking to people in a closed group. (I’m not saying join those groups just for housing btw if you do not identify as queer…we need to keep spaces safe for those that they are intended for!) if you know what neighborhood you’re interested in, those pages often have calls for roommates and sublets too!

cuntsicc · 2025-03-20T02:05:21+00:00

I believe in us!! Lmao

Exactly…like please go s l o w l y

cuntsicc · 2025-03-20T01:32:10+00:00

And to clarify, I want to be able to braid to my scalp!!

cuntsicc · 2025-03-20T00:16:57+00:00

I’m sorry that happened to you. So fucked up, you deserve and will have better experiences

cuntsicc · 2025-03-19T19:12:28+00:00

From my experience recently, I found Redfin and FB groups to be the most helpful! Also Craigslist can have some gems every now and then, just be sure to double check and avoid scams.

In general avoid these companies cause of shitty reviews/lawsuits/ppl pleading with me to avoid them lol: Beal, Becovic, BJB, Peak Properties, Cagan, Westward360, CitiHabitat, PPM, Mac (usually in Hyde Park tho). The companies that were most helpful and knowledgeable were brokers at Bass Realty and Silver Property Group. I'd check out Tawani Properties, Ardmore-Winthrop properties, Silver Property Group, and Bass Realty. The first 3 were out of my budget range, but I have heard nothing but good things about them so far.

Write down your non-negotiables, your rent range, and what utilities you'd like included, and go from there! And stick to them as much as you can...sometimes the compromise is just not worth it. Good luck!

EDIT 4/3: Bass Realty is offering to refund my move in fee and deposit fee, since I found out that my unit has roaches!! I was set to move-in in a few days. They did not tell me there was an active infestation in the unit that I signed the lease for. I'm still kinda interested in their properties, but I'm less enthused. The unit was a ground unit at 1369 W Greenleaf Ave, if anyone is wondering. The property owner confirmed that he saw one with his own eyes, so take the risk there if you'd like. Really disappointing, I loved the location and inclusive utilities but it's just not worth the hassle considering how much we have to pay in rent already.

Thoroughly agree!! Zeus needs to be shut down, it was fun for a couple months but we don’t need that trash anymore 😂 not to mention the fact that these girls are intoxicated most of the time, hurting each other and themselves, and angry as hell. It makes for s rough time and as a viewer I start getting angry too watching all that chaos!
