The sexy teacher bimbofication of @rubyroberts.bsky.social

Drawing of a curly haired woman with glasses, in three different states.
In the leftmost, she wears a comfortable sweater and modest pencil dress, slapping a ruler in one hand against her other.
In the middle, she wears stockings and a shinier skirt, shorter than the other one, as well as a button up shirt straining to hold itself together. She wears much more makeup, with eyeshadow and lipstick decorating her face.
In the rightmost, she is leaning down, showing off her now enlarged chest as her shirt strains to hold it in. Her skirt is much smaller and now is slightly ripping at the side, and she wears platform heels. Her lips are now puffed up and she wears large hoop earrings.

Some office ladies

Drawing of two women in business outfits. The taller one on the left with short black hair places on hand on the other woman's shoulder, the other hand in her pocket. The smaller woman with blonde hair tied off with a red ribbon has her hands raised to her sides in a fist pumping motion, and glances excitedly up at her coworker.

Office romance

Series of black and white sketches. On the left, a younger woman leans slumped over, sleeping on the shoulder of a taller woman who is waving goodbye to other office workers leaving for the day. On the right the smaller woman looks up and kisses the taller woman as they hold hands and stand close to each other.

A pair of black and white drawings of the same two office ladies. On the left the smaller woman smiles cheerily as she makes an apology, holding a folder in one hand. On the right, the taller woman rests an arm on the back of her chair, turning to look towards the viewer.

One of the great blessings of being trans is our finding family in each other, when the rest of the world so often fails us. In One Heart Together, we're going to get to see River finding exactly that, including with Jenny here, who becomes a new mother to her.
