so, it was a number of years ago, and i was having these…feelings. i began talking with a friend and journaling heavy, albeit cryptic, emotions about this nagging presence that just wouldn’t go away. i opened the NYTimes magazine and there was #48, staring back at me. rachel maddow + books + sneakers = paradigm shift.

it most definitely was time for this.

Love how they misspelled her name twice in the caption to #28. It was clearly entirely impossible to fact-check such an obscure bit of information.

  HA! Rachel Maddox! That’s amazing. They are always doing that on getty images and wireimage though, it’s funny. Like they also misidentify people all the time, which is cute. That text comes with the photo somehow, so I didn’t notice it, but I sort of don’t want to delete it because it is so special.

And the cocktails! Rachel Maddow is the perfect woman.

Yo Autostraddle, Imma let you finish but this is one of the best photo galleries of all time. OF ALL TIME.

Suspenders Rachel Maddow is my favourite. I’m pretty sure she was setting out to bring joy to queer women everywhere with that shoot.

Rachel Maddow gives me a serious do-be-do-be-do complex. I cannot figure out if I want to be like her or just somehow manage to get her into bed. Either way, she is amazing and this gallery is full of win. Thanks AS!

Not to be a Debbie D but putting a man on the moon was largely about profit and primarily about power. But the sentiment behind her message is swell. Now, I’ll stop being an over analytical dweeb and enjoy the pictures. Thank you for them, btw.

There’s a guy on the staff of a magazine I write for who looks almost exactly like her– big glasses, same hair style, wears sweaters over collared shirts, tall and lanky. He confuses my brain every time I see him.

I was on this site while I was eating a peanut butter and nutella with spoon (it was like they were having sex in my mouth!) and looking at this slideshow of Rachel fucking Maddow.

People, I can’t even begin to tell you how it felt sight and taste having an nirvana like experience.(I should try this with the other AS galleries and see if I will have different reactions…) Anyway I think I blacked out briefly from all this goodness that was going on and my mother calls me down to tell me how awesome Rachel Maddow is and how much Rosie O’Donell sucks.

I think we had a RARE pro-gay moment.

I can’t even, too many feeeeeeeeeeeeelings.
