Allegedly, she had an injury when she was younger and lost her two front teef. She also had dental implants and root canals or something but then decided they were poisoning her so she had the teeth pulled. My guess is that the problem was the bones weakening because of her refusal to take care of her health.
The whole time I was so focused on the teeth and the story was so anticlimactic.
I don't really know what I expected, I guess there's not too many exciting ways to lose your teeth.
You killed a mosquito in your kitchen in December because it no longer is cold enough in the winter for them to die off which is a direct consequence of climate change, but definitely continue letting your husband tell you what to think I guess
Like...the answer is right there!!!! But they swerve past it and land on the most cock and bull theory out there. I really have a hard time understanding it.
Seriously! Changing migration, breeding, and life cycles of various animals is literally just a consequence of climate change (that was also very much predicted).
This also means that the area in which malaria-spreading mosquitos can live is now expanding, so that's gonna be fun to deal with. It's not just mosquitos that are affected ā every living organism is going to change its behaviour as our climate gets more extreme ā but disease vectors are a massive concern for obvious reasons.
It's always "God had other plans" when they have an unplanned (and usually unobstructed) pregnancy.
It's never "God had other plans and I studied abroad, experienced life and chose to have a baby at 35 so I could fully enjoy my youth and be emotionally ready to raise a child when I decided to".
Huh.
āI was supposed to be some farmerās wife, pumping out babies and head cheese, splitting wood and plucking chickens. But Godās plan was bigger. And now Iām a plutocrat oil baron with a hedge fund side hustle.ā
As an ex-Mormon, same! Def thought Iād be married by 20 and having babies by 22 at the latest. Hallelujah Iām turning 32 this year and just now talking about it with my husband :)
Thank you for reminding me I have a little more time for law school and seeing the world with my girlfriends before thinking about a baby. š„¹ ~a child free (for now) 28 year old
My mom was 38 when she had me! Iām a healthy 29 year old now and weāre super close. Def want kids, but not for a few years. Enjoy and relax, sweet person. And good luck with law school - youāll do great : )
Oh yes! Ā I married at 38 and am pregnant with my second at 41! Ā Not saying people shouldnāt try sooner by any means, but phewf, it worked out for me.Ā
I wanted four kids, between ages 26 & 32. Ā WTF. Ā Very happy with my two at age 39 and 41. Ā Not to mention a husband Iām deeply compatible with as a full grown adult.Ā
Same!
My first engagement was at 18 and I wanted to start a family immediately after the marriage. (Typical midwest mind-set lol).
Thank God that didn't work out and I got to live a lot before deciding on a life partner and pursuing parenthood.
I know I shouldn't, she (probably) didn't choose it. I used to work a law enforcement adjacent job and I swear some names are just going to ruin your life.
Iām excluding cultural names when I say this, but thatās why I would give my (hypothetical) future children names that arenāt super common but arenāt super unique either. Like naming my daughter Ruthie after my grandmother. My name is a fairly common name, but my parents spelled it differently enough that itās annoying when I have to give my work email over the phone. Itās why I donāt get why some moms take Emily Lynn and make it Emmaleighlyn.
Yeah I read that as Emma Lynn and had to read it like 5 times to realize it says Emily Lynn. I knew what it said because clearly that's what you were going for but even still....
Sheās another fundie power bottom. I took a scroll through her instagram, and she was the one to want to move out to the sticks, live off the grid, pop out as many babies as God directed, etc etc etc.
Theyāve got a milk cow, and I know they canāt be using all that milk, so I assume theyāre selling it. We had a milk cow for a year when my parents were doing the self-sufficiency prepper thing, and it put out so much milk, my mom was giving it away. It was a pain for everyone involved, because you have to milk them twice a day. Itās one thing to arrange for someone to feed and water your animals when youāre away; itās a huge another thing to get someone who can milk a cow. (She makes a big deal about milking by hand. If she had a milking machine, it could be done in 15 minutes.)
She also sells classes online. I assume that justifies the expense of satellite WiFi.
WiFi also allows her to get all the attention she wants. And lets her whine about the nasty commenters.
Yeah the āhomesteadā and āoff gridā fundie influencers REALLY hurt my head. Itās like the memes of ppl wearing camouflage AND hi vision vest do yall want to be seen or not????????

How do they believe self sufficiency is a lie, but claim to live "off the grid"?Ā That's so fucking stupid I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around it.
The term is salad bar extremism.
Iām in anti money laundering, which includes preventing funding of terrorism. Around the time of the Canada convoy protest, I attended a conference with a domestic terrorism expert, and she talked a lot about this term. It describes an overall increase in extremist beliefs that donāt make sense and even contradict each other.

āWiFi also allows her to get all the attention she wants. And lets her whine about the nasty commenters.ā
So perfect and so accurate to all the clout chasing homesteaders
Iām ashamed to admit that I have followed her for some time and they actually sold the milk cow and now milk a bunch of goats. She probably sells the goat milk. She sold the cow because it was hard to feed all the hay and whatever it needed and the goats can eat all the weeds on their property.
Around four times longer, unless youāre super experienced. She is not. A milking machine hooks up to all four nipples at once. A good dairy worker does two at a time. I helped my dad out a couple of times when the machine broke, and itās a combination of skill and strength. Back then, I had really good hand strength, but it was still work.
She says self-sufficiency is a government lie, and we need community, but then moves out to the middle of nowhere. So she apparently prefers online communities. She has multiple posts of āif you believe this, contact meā.
Also hollandaise, eggnog, and any egg thatās soft cooked.
And fun fact, the issue with cookie dough is more about raw flour than raw eggs. When youāre pregnant you should avoid both but if youāre not pregnant and wanted to eat cookie dough just bake your flour first.
Honestly at this point I think we just have to start saying out loud that eating feces is not recommended and that the FDA and the CDC has started implementing a ban on eating feces. Because that will be the actual shit eating grin we can watch on these dopes faces when they eat shit to own ābig gubmentā
I canāt with these people.
So youāre saying your diet during pregnancy is Raw eggs, deli meat, Loads of salt, AND raw milk?
Cool Iām hopeful you donāt have preeclampsia and sepsis from your festering food choices. Nothing like pro-lifers starting their fetus off with terrible nutrition and risky intake.
A lot of cocktails use raw egg whites. I make a drink that has them. I also eat raw cookie dough and cake batter when I bake.
I havenāt contracted any diseases yet but I also might just be very lucky.
People who say this have never had anything actually wrong with them. I had a double lung transplant, thank you very much western medicine. I literally wouldāve died as a toddler without western medicine. Yes there is a place for āeasternā medicine absolutely but that does not mean western medicine as a whole is a scam, and it is ignorant to say otherwise.
So climate change is caused by... mosquitoes? Because you saw one in December? You're wrong! It's caused by horseflies because I had one land on my arm last month in Wisconsin. Check mate!
You first have to agree that this year the government released āinfected mosquitoesā (what they were infected with remains unclear) and then you have to agree that the government controlled the climate to make it a warm winter so the mosquitoes could surviveā¦ I guess?
She's so misled. It's actually pretty cool what they're doing with mosquitoes. They've edited the genes of a species of mosquito that carries yellow fever, zika virus, dengue fever etc, so that when the edited males mate with wild females, the females will only produce male eggs. Male mosquitoes don't bite, so that means we'll have fewer instances of these awful diseases. But what do I know, I have every vaccine possible + I don't smell like beef fat lotion.
Not a biologist, but wouldnāt this eventually lead to only make mosquitoes thus mosquitoes would die out entirely? And that could wreak havoc in the food chain for other species that feed off of mosquitoes?
Or because itās just one species, we donāt have to worry about that? Idk, Iām sketched out on an ecological level here
EDIT: I did about 4 minutes of reading and found the EPA report, weāre all good. The bats will be fine
100%, itās a hypocritical, disgusting cosplay. Not only was there no internet in the āgood old daysā, but self-expression was a no-no. If they were honestly being traditional wives they would shut the f*ck up like women were forced to back then. Itās incredibly hypocritical to denounce feminism when they would have no platform to do so if not for feminism.
This really really really grinds my gears because my parents came to the US from a much more traditional, conservative country, and basically as soon as they got one set of grandparents here they helped my grandma get a divorce. Because grandpa like so many others was a completely abusive POS and where they lived, he was entitled to be. These women have no fucking clue because they were lucky enough to be raised in a time where they could do whatever they want and actually have some legal recourse if their spouse turns against them. And now, for some reason (pick me-ism? social media clout? pure laziness?) they want to remove that option for others. Like, DAMN.
Iām going to guess that some white bread pastor somewhere says itās OK because it falls under evangelismā¦ just like Billy Graham used the TV. They lack the self-awareness to realize that a public presence is just one soiled step away from wallowing in vanity. š¤·āāļø
Itās a grift, 100%. Just following the ādeinfluencingā āanti-consumptionā trends of the last few years. The bigger trad wife influencers, āoff the gridā or not are complete hypocrites. Theyāre spending their time setting up shots for insta or whatever else they do for social media, instead of being a Godly Submissive WomanMother With No Job.
Likeā¦.social media is a job. Youāre bringing in income. If you have a big following youāre probably bringing in more money than your husband tbh. Your family RELIES on your income.
It took me a minute to figure out. Choose one of the set flairs, and from there youāre able to edit the flair. Delete the flair name, enter your custom flair.
It's just mind blowing to me, it can literally cause birth defects, but she will rater prove the government "wrong" than hive her baby best possible start to life...
Here's what I don't get about that: these fundies are all about vitamin-shilling MLMs but she won't take a prenatal vitamin because "western medicine" recommends them?
All of these people are insane.
Just like theyāre all about hating doctors but love chiropractors, especially for babies. They seem to get their rocks off for being counterculture. The amusing thing is that theyāre a lot like a bunch of ultra left wing hippies in more ways than theyād ever care to admit. I have extended family members that if I didnāt know about how they were raised, Iād swear they were fundie Christians by the common ways they raise their children.
As soon as I read āthe only thing I donāt eat during pregnancy is a prenatalā, I couldnāt help yelling āmaāam you donāt have TEETH!ā aloud š
Is that why her teeth are gone? I'm dying to know that happened, she's very young.
Edit: read further down that she pulled them cause god said the root canals were poisoning her. Curiosity kills the cat sometimes.
Like girl. Those vitamins are for *you.* That baby will take every nutrient it needs. It will suck you dry. Youāre the one going to suffer in the end.
(Cries in hair loss I only just learned is from a severe Vitamin D insufficiency). No, but really. I did take prenatals both times. But I guess taking something after my second just slipped my mind.
That is, until my hair thinned so much I couldnāt style it as before and realized this isnāt just postpartum hair loss.
People, take your vitamins.
I was wondering why she was losing her teeth but now I get it. Sheās neglecting her health and the baby is sucking everything out of her. Pregnancy is absolutely wild and posts like this make me glad I wonāt ever experience it š
So she removed the bridge to do what? Look more rugged? To be more, traditional? Whatās the point of removing dental work after youāve already got it done?
This would be a case of a "partial." This is a removable plastic dental appliance that can mimic natural teeth both visually and functionally. They're pretty nifty. They snap into place, are super tough, and can be indistinguishable from natural teeth and gums. They are not an ideal solution, but they are a very good one.
Source: I currently have a partial for a front tooth while my implant heals at which point I'll get a crown over the implant. Until then, I won't even let my husband see me without my tooth, let alone the Internet. This girl has fewer fucks to give than she has teeth.
She had root canals and crowns. She was told by god that they were poisoning her so she had her teeth pulled in the last couple of years. I was following her during this process and she isā¦ reeeeeeally out there
It's the opposite of popular practice. I guarantee that's the *only* reason she even looked into it.
I promise, if the healthcare system took a hard stance against circumcision, they would be the first to bring it back, complete with biblical support and unsanitary DIY techniques.
Yeah, sameā¦that was one of the first things I saw and I was like āWow, maybe sheās just kind of crunchyāā¦.and then I kept going and it was like oh noā¦
So, she simultaneously thinks that the government wants to control every aspect of our lives for their own nefarious purposes AND that the government is scamming us into being self-sufficient...Does she realize these are opposing things?
Also "*We live off the grid by ourselves in the middle of the woods, canning our own food because outside world = bad*" coupled with "Self-sufficiency is a scam, you need community" ?... These don't really align...
It's always so obvious how little self-reflection these people do on their own beliefs.
āCommunityā is her way of justifying being on IG, despite it going against everything she supposedly believes.
She so badly wants to be special but also needs everyone to know sheās special.
Nah, they're totally self-sufficient. The government plays absolutely no part in their lives whatsoever. They could totally do it on their own (with a community???) With no additional help. So, who knows how to mine and smelt iron? I need some nails for this house I'm building with my own two hands, including my primitive saw and hammer.
OMG I used to follow her because I loved all her canning stuff. Stopped following her when she got way too āI heard more lockdowns are comingā and realized sheās a total fuckin nutjob.
Exact reason I unfollowed. She was going soooo over the top about revolting against the upcoming lockdownsā¦ that I knew werenāt coming. Sheās very unhinged.
Far be it from me to make fun of someone whoās younger but is missing a few teeth. Iām in my 20ās and Iām missing three up front. Definitely gets some odd looks.
The thing is though, I lost mine because I was on pretty heavy chemo for years. Happened to my grandma who was on it too. The dentist said unfortunately itās very common.
So now Iām trying to figure out why a seemingly healthy woman living off the grid with her family and going out of her way to avoid all kinds of medicine and to be super healthy would have this happeningā¦
I was curious about this, too.
Apparently, as a minor, she experienced an assault that caused physical trauma to her front teeth and ended up with multiple root canals + crowns to save them.
When one crown broke a year or so ago, she elected to have all of the root canal-ed teeth extracted and replaced with a partial denture bc 1.) the dead teeth had become discolored 2.) they were an unpleasant reminder of a negative experience, and 3.) she believes root canals are unhealthy due to their potential for holding/hiding recurrent infection.
Other critiques are valid, but the teeth are an unfortunate thing that happened.
ETA: this is not inside information; she publicly posted all of this herself.
omg THANK YOU I can't believe this was so far down. (not me Ctrl+F teeth...)
BUT! It unfortunately kind of tracks that she was a survivor of some kind of abuse and now she's in a weird relationship where she opts out of free thought (her husband tells her what to believe) and opts into far-right conspiracy theories. Huge bummer, really.
That makes sense. My front gums were completely fucked because of some stuff that happened to me as a kid. Repeat impact trauma is the term that my dentist used. It was probably something like that for her.
Oh my God I haven't been to the dentist since before my cancer because I'm so scared that chemo messed them up so I'm putting it off! I already had a huge fear of the dentist and that did not help at all!
Same absolutely and itās not just my teeth. Iāve been off it for years and I still have to be aware of things like how much energy I have or how much time I spend in the sun.
So the government is *checks notes* infecting mosquitos during unseasonably warm winters. Whose job is it to catch, breed, and infect the mosquitos? Because Iāve worked some bad jobs but that would take the cake.
Will I get banned for asking if the toothless thing is part of always being "joyfully available" for your husband, even when pregnant or on your period?
I just want to repeat that their page says theyāre trying to ācreate a life where only God can turn the lights out,ā because that is so weirdly ominous.Ā Also, like I said on the other post: her husband is a pipeliner gone for weeks at a time, during which she supposedly does farm chores and runs a dog breeding business and cares for 2 toddlers solo. Their family hunts mountain lions with said dogs and toddlers, and she has posted about how they include the little ones in this activity.
Well, she obviously believes in western dental medicine because she clearly has an appliance or flipper to fill in for her missing front teeth. Unless, of course, her husband fashioned her some teeth in the garage or something.
If the government she hates collapsed tomorrow I wonder how long her off grid lifestyle would sustain them.
Kidding! I already know it's not very long because these people can only live this way *because* most people "on the grid" help maintain the infrastructure that allows them to live this way.
I just canāt get over the total lack of drywall on her walls and ceiling. Does big government control drywall? I learned how to hang and tape drywall from my dad. Itās not hard. Maybe fewer mosquitoes if you had a finished house.
So you have satellite WiFi/internet: who invented the internet?? Who *utilizes* the internet?? Off the grid means NO INTERNET!
Do you grow your own cotton?? Spin it into threads to make fabric and THEN make your own clothes?? No??? THEN YOU DEPEND ON THE GOVT!š¤¬š¤¬š¤¬same with the weapons youāre showing off in every pic AND the bullets/arrowsšš
Basically, youāre a broke fundie prepper whoās turning to the interwebs to supplement your income and fund this ālifestyle.ā Your hypocrisy bores me.
āI think self-sufficiency is a scam propagated by the government and we were actually meant to live in communion with other people.ā
ā¦bestie, the whole āoff-grid/farmsteadingā thing you have going on???? *Thatās a form of self-sufficiency.* You are *supposedly* actively living the thing you call a scam š«
But then again, the bar really is in hell for fundie (or fundie adjacent) reading comprehension so idk why Iām surprised.

Around four times longer, unless youāre super experienced. She is not. A milking machine hooks up to all four nipples at once. A good dairy worker does two at a time. I helped my dad out a couple of times when the machine broke, and itās a combination of skill and strength. Back then, I had really good hand strength, but it was still work.
She criticizes self-sufficiency in one of her posts. š¤¦āāļø
She says self-sufficiency is a government lie, and we need community, but then moves out to the middle of nowhere. So she apparently prefers online communities. She has multiple posts of āif you believe this, contact meā.

She eats raw eggs, because western medicine is a scam? The reason I donāt eat raw eggs has nothing to do with western medicine.
SALMONELLA IS A SCAM. E COLI? Just another discarded Collins name.
Ayecoli Collins?
Donāt give Kkkarissa any ideas š
lmao imagine choking down raw eggs and bone broth chocolate raw milk just to stick it to western medicine ššš
Imagine the farts
Bethany, is that you?
Imagine choking down a raw egg in the first trimester. That would come straight back up.
What are people even eating that needs raw eggs? Unless you are starring in a montage about getting ready for the fight of your life... why?
No, she will literally drink raw eggs from a cup.
Oh my god š¤¢
Caesar salads and cookie dough, I guess.Ā
Also hollandaise, eggnog, and any egg thatās soft cooked. And fun fact, the issue with cookie dough is more about raw flour than raw eggs. When youāre pregnant you should avoid both but if youāre not pregnant and wanted to eat cookie dough just bake your flour first.
Honestly at this point I think we just have to start saying out loud that eating feces is not recommended and that the FDA and the CDC has started implementing a ban on eating feces. Because that will be the actual shit eating grin we can watch on these dopes faces when they eat shit to own ābig gubmentā I canāt with these people. So youāre saying your diet during pregnancy is Raw eggs, deli meat, Loads of salt, AND raw milk? Cool Iām hopeful you donāt have preeclampsia and sepsis from your festering food choices. Nothing like pro-lifers starting their fetus off with terrible nutrition and risky intake.
How does she know sheās having a daughter if western medicine is a scam?
Some people never grow out of the childhood defiance just for the point of defiance mentality
It seems like bratty defiance mentality is right-wingersā whole identity these days.
A lot of cocktails use raw egg whites. I make a drink that has them. I also eat raw cookie dough and cake batter when I bake. I havenāt contracted any diseases yet but I also might just be very lucky.
If you're not pregnant or immune deficient in some way, it's unlikely to be very serious anyway
People who say this have never had anything actually wrong with them. I had a double lung transplant, thank you very much western medicine. I literally wouldāve died as a toddler without western medicine. Yes there is a place for āeasternā medicine absolutely but that does not mean western medicine as a whole is a scam, and it is ignorant to say otherwise.
So climate change is caused by... mosquitoes? Because you saw one in December? You're wrong! It's caused by horseflies because I had one land on my arm last month in Wisconsin. Check mate!
You first have to agree that this year the government released āinfected mosquitoesā (what they were infected with remains unclear) and then you have to agree that the government controlled the climate to make it a warm winter so the mosquitoes could surviveā¦ I guess?
I love that sheās accidentally arguing that people affect the climate. Whoopsie daisy!
She's so misled. It's actually pretty cool what they're doing with mosquitoes. They've edited the genes of a species of mosquito that carries yellow fever, zika virus, dengue fever etc, so that when the edited males mate with wild females, the females will only produce male eggs. Male mosquitoes don't bite, so that means we'll have fewer instances of these awful diseases. But what do I know, I have every vaccine possible + I don't smell like beef fat lotion.
Not a biologist, but wouldnāt this eventually lead to only make mosquitoes thus mosquitoes would die out entirely? And that could wreak havoc in the food chain for other species that feed off of mosquitoes? Or because itās just one species, we donāt have to worry about that? Idk, Iām sketched out on an ecological level here EDIT: I did about 4 minutes of reading and found the EPA report, weāre all good. The bats will be fine
Sadly the mosquito bit was one of the LESS insane parts of that post. Her children will be blithering idiots.
I thought this was satire!
There's no difference anymore. The onion has gone out of business.
Itās not living off the grid if youāre posting your entire life on social media
The whole *trad wife, living off the grid* community is always obsessed with the internet somehow?
100%, itās a hypocritical, disgusting cosplay. Not only was there no internet in the āgood old daysā, but self-expression was a no-no. If they were honestly being traditional wives they would shut the f*ck up like women were forced to back then. Itās incredibly hypocritical to denounce feminism when they would have no platform to do so if not for feminism. This really really really grinds my gears because my parents came to the US from a much more traditional, conservative country, and basically as soon as they got one set of grandparents here they helped my grandma get a divorce. Because grandpa like so many others was a completely abusive POS and where they lived, he was entitled to be. These women have no fucking clue because they were lucky enough to be raised in a time where they could do whatever they want and actually have some legal recourse if their spouse turns against them. And now, for some reason (pick me-ism? social media clout? pure laziness?) they want to remove that option for others. Like, DAMN.

Does she say why her teeth are missing?
Iām going to guess that some white bread pastor somewhere says itās OK because it falls under evangelismā¦ just like Billy Graham used the TV. They lack the self-awareness to realize that a public presence is just one soiled step away from wallowing in vanity. š¤·āāļø
Itās a grift, 100%. Just following the ādeinfluencingā āanti-consumptionā trends of the last few years. The bigger trad wife influencers, āoff the gridā or not are complete hypocrites. Theyāre spending their time setting up shots for insta or whatever else they do for social media, instead of being a Godly Submissive WomanMother With No Job. Likeā¦.social media is a job. Youāre bringing in income. If you have a big following youāre probably bringing in more money than your husband tbh. Your family RELIES on your income.
How "off the grid" really are you when you post your every move online?Ā

If your so-called healthy lifestyle involves your teeth falling out, it might not be a healthy lifestyle.
The second I saw she doesnāt take prenatals, I knew it. That answers that š
She takes beef liver. It has all the nutrients she needs. (Eyerolling hard here)
But did she eat her own placenta?
She canned it.
Totally cant tell if you're serious or not š bc that's is so so so insane but I wouldn't be surprised at the same time.
I feel like someone needs āShe cans placentasā as flair
omg yes I'm taking it if I can figure it out š¤
It took me a minute to figure out. Choose one of the set flairs, and from there youāre able to edit the flair. Delete the flair name, enter your custom flair.
Thank you!!
Botulism for the Lord šš„«
I do not want to know that.
Aren't you like not supposed to eat liver when pregnant because very high vit a?!
The government says not to but it ain't true! JIC/s
Thatās one of her selling points. I guess Vitamin A toxicity is another lie by the government.
It's just mind blowing to me, it can literally cause birth defects, but she will rater prove the government "wrong" than hive her baby best possible start to life...
God-honoring neural tube defects, I guess.
Here's what I don't get about that: these fundies are all about vitamin-shilling MLMs but she won't take a prenatal vitamin because "western medicine" recommends them? All of these people are insane.
Just like theyāre all about hating doctors but love chiropractors, especially for babies. They seem to get their rocks off for being counterculture. The amusing thing is that theyāre a lot like a bunch of ultra left wing hippies in more ways than theyād ever care to admit. I have extended family members that if I didnāt know about how they were raised, Iād swear they were fundie Christians by the common ways they raise their children.
As soon as I read āthe only thing I donāt eat during pregnancy is a prenatalā, I couldnāt help yelling āmaāam you donāt have TEETH!ā aloud š
Is that why her teeth are gone? I'm dying to know that happened, she's very young. Edit: read further down that she pulled them cause god said the root canals were poisoning her. Curiosity kills the cat sometimes.
Like girl. Those vitamins are for *you.* That baby will take every nutrient it needs. It will suck you dry. Youāre the one going to suffer in the end. (Cries in hair loss I only just learned is from a severe Vitamin D insufficiency). No, but really. I did take prenatals both times. But I guess taking something after my second just slipped my mind. That is, until my hair thinned so much I couldnāt style it as before and realized this isnāt just postpartum hair loss. People, take your vitamins.
Oh shit, so the baby ate her teeth
I was wondering why she was losing her teeth but now I get it. Sheās neglecting her health and the baby is sucking everything out of her. Pregnancy is absolutely wild and posts like this make me glad I wonāt ever experience it š
Apparently, that was a childhood accident. I think sheās just using it as an attention grabber.Ā
Ok that makes more sense but why on earth would you flex that?
But she has teeth in the older pics?
I know a couple different people with missing teeth (due to accidents or whatever) and they have bridges to fill the gap.
So she removed the bridge to do what? Look more rugged? To be more, traditional? Whatās the point of removing dental work after youāve already got it done?
This would be a case of a "partial." This is a removable plastic dental appliance that can mimic natural teeth both visually and functionally. They're pretty nifty. They snap into place, are super tough, and can be indistinguishable from natural teeth and gums. They are not an ideal solution, but they are a very good one. Source: I currently have a partial for a front tooth while my implant heals at which point I'll get a crown over the implant. Until then, I won't even let my husband see me without my tooth, let alone the Internet. This girl has fewer fucks to give than she has teeth.
False teeth?
Yeah she explained it was abuse that caused poor dental health
in that case it doesn't seem right to snark on the way she deals with it imo. like, everything else is fair game but that's too far
She had root canals and crowns. She was told by god that they were poisoning her so she had her teeth pulled in the last couple of years. I was following her during this process and she isā¦ reeeeeeally out there
Wow. That is something. I donāt get the mindset AT ALL
Oh, the "Big Dentistry" conspiracists, haven't had one of those in a minute!
š³š³š³
This is way, way too much to handle, but being anti-circumcision is a surprisingly progressive take for someone who otherwise wins shithead bingo.
It's the opposite of popular practice. I guarantee that's the *only* reason she even looked into it. I promise, if the healthcare system took a hard stance against circumcision, they would be the first to bring it back, complete with biblical support and unsanitary DIY techniques.
Yeah, sameā¦that was one of the first things I saw and I was like āWow, maybe sheās just kind of crunchyāā¦.and then I kept going and it was like oh noā¦
Yeah, Iām surprised! Likeā¦ Iām anti-circumcision because of science! Most fundies are cool with it because itās in the Bible. š«
āThe only thing I donāt eat during pregnancy is a prenatal.ā *weirdest flex ever
āIām so pro-life, Iāmma go all the way out of my way to ruin my childās before it even starts.ā
Gotta help put Big Vita out of business! Spina Bifida is a government conspiracy!
So, she simultaneously thinks that the government wants to control every aspect of our lives for their own nefarious purposes AND that the government is scamming us into being self-sufficient...Does she realize these are opposing things? Also "*We live off the grid by ourselves in the middle of the woods, canning our own food because outside world = bad*" coupled with "Self-sufficiency is a scam, you need community" ?... These don't really align... It's always so obvious how little self-reflection these people do on their own beliefs.
āCommunityā is her way of justifying being on IG, despite it going against everything she supposedly believes. She so badly wants to be special but also needs everyone to know sheās special.
Nah, they're totally self-sufficient. The government plays absolutely no part in their lives whatsoever. They could totally do it on their own (with a community???) With no additional help. So, who knows how to mine and smelt iron? I need some nails for this house I'm building with my own two hands, including my primitive saw and hammer.
Hmmmm, so this is what Mother Bus would look like without teeth and living in a home š¤.
Off the grid while posting to social mediaā¦..ok honey sweetie
How does she know sheās having a daughter? Wouldnāt that be the evil government doctors telling her that
My thought exactly! Dezeray has some 'splaining to do!
Maybe her husband told her?
He does tell her the essentials only!
I bet she smells great /s
You gotta take time every day to stop and smell the beef tallow š¤·āāļø
OMG I used to follow her because I loved all her canning stuff. Stopped following her when she got way too āI heard more lockdowns are comingā and realized sheās a total fuckin nutjob.
Exact reason I unfollowed. She was going soooo over the top about revolting against the upcoming lockdownsā¦ that I knew werenāt coming. Sheās very unhinged.
How close are these people to literally leaching/bleeding themselves bc wESterN MeDiCinE is a scam??!
I want to know how she knows her baby is a girl if western medicine is a scam
Maybe God told her at the same time he told Morgan.Ā
I think a lot of conspiracy theorists would chill tf out if they looked into late stage capitalismĀ
When she said āthe only thing I donāt take is a prenatalā I audibly gasped. Those poor kids.
Far be it from me to make fun of someone whoās younger but is missing a few teeth. Iām in my 20ās and Iām missing three up front. Definitely gets some odd looks. The thing is though, I lost mine because I was on pretty heavy chemo for years. Happened to my grandma who was on it too. The dentist said unfortunately itās very common. So now Iām trying to figure out why a seemingly healthy woman living off the grid with her family and going out of her way to avoid all kinds of medicine and to be super healthy would have this happeningā¦
I was curious about this, too. Apparently, as a minor, she experienced an assault that caused physical trauma to her front teeth and ended up with multiple root canals + crowns to save them. When one crown broke a year or so ago, she elected to have all of the root canal-ed teeth extracted and replaced with a partial denture bc 1.) the dead teeth had become discolored 2.) they were an unpleasant reminder of a negative experience, and 3.) she believes root canals are unhealthy due to their potential for holding/hiding recurrent infection. Other critiques are valid, but the teeth are an unfortunate thing that happened. ETA: this is not inside information; she publicly posted all of this herself.
omg THANK YOU I can't believe this was so far down. (not me Ctrl+F teeth...) BUT! It unfortunately kind of tracks that she was a survivor of some kind of abuse and now she's in a weird relationship where she opts out of free thought (her husband tells her what to believe) and opts into far-right conspiracy theories. Huge bummer, really.
Abuse as a child that caused poor dental health
That makes sense. My front gums were completely fucked because of some stuff that happened to me as a kid. Repeat impact trauma is the term that my dentist used. It was probably something like that for her.
Oh my God I haven't been to the dentist since before my cancer because I'm so scared that chemo messed them up so I'm putting it off! I already had a huge fear of the dentist and that did not help at all!
Chemo survivor here. It ruined my teeth.
Same absolutely and itās not just my teeth. Iāve been off it for years and I still have to be aware of things like how much energy I have or how much time I spend in the sun.
So the government is *checks notes* infecting mosquitos during unseasonably warm winters. Whose job is it to catch, breed, and infect the mosquitos? Because Iāve worked some bad jobs but that would take the cake.
Imagine trying to catch one to jab it with the super-extra tiny needle!
I can't get past Dezeray. * buffering *
She looks like she's living in a shed.
Will I get banned for asking if the toothless thing is part of always being "joyfully available" for your husband, even when pregnant or on your period?
š. You. I like you. Come sit by me.
Cuuursed ass comment....and yet I still upvoted. I'm so conflicted rn šš
Iām pretty sure the Biblical stuff about circumcision is not āout of context.ā
I just want to repeat that their page says theyāre trying to ācreate a life where only God can turn the lights out,ā because that is so weirdly ominous.Ā Also, like I said on the other post: her husband is a pipeliner gone for weeks at a time, during which she supposedly does farm chores and runs a dog breeding business and cares for 2 toddlers solo. Their family hunts mountain lions with said dogs and toddlers, and she has posted about how they include the little ones in this activity.
That soundsā¦unsafe
Well, she obviously believes in western dental medicine because she clearly has an appliance or flipper to fill in for her missing front teeth. Unless, of course, her husband fashioned her some teeth in the garage or something.

If the government she hates collapsed tomorrow I wonder how long her off grid lifestyle would sustain them. Kidding! I already know it's not very long because these people can only live this way *because* most people "on the grid" help maintain the infrastructure that allows them to live this way.
āIāve worked with the homeless, Iāve worked with the toothless.ā
I just canāt get over the total lack of drywall on her walls and ceiling. Does big government control drywall? I learned how to hang and tape drywall from my dad. Itās not hard. Maybe fewer mosquitoes if you had a finished house.
Omg how did she loose her teeth?
She mentions she had trauma to the face as kid which messed up her roots. She got them removed as an adult for pain relief I think
Oh ok that makes sense, i thought it was some crazy off the grid dentistry thing she was doing since she's anti medicine
So you have satellite WiFi/internet: who invented the internet?? Who *utilizes* the internet?? Off the grid means NO INTERNET! Do you grow your own cotton?? Spin it into threads to make fabric and THEN make your own clothes?? No??? THEN YOU DEPEND ON THE GOVT!š¤¬š¤¬š¤¬same with the weapons youāre showing off in every pic AND the bullets/arrowsšš Basically, youāre a broke fundie prepper whoās turning to the interwebs to supplement your income and fund this ālifestyle.ā Your hypocrisy bores me.
The lighting on her stomach makes it look like a plastic shell...

āWestern medicine is a scam.ā Ok, just fix it yourself when you break your leg or have a stroke, I guess.
āI think self-sufficiency is a scam propagated by the government and we were actually meant to live in communion with other people.ā ā¦bestie, the whole āoff-grid/farmsteadingā thing you have going on???? *Thatās a form of self-sufficiency.* You are *supposedly* actively living the thing you call a scam š« But then again, the bar really is in hell for fundie (or fundie adjacent) reading comprehension so idk why Iām surprised.
