Thank you, Jane.

Changing the language is so important. If we speak in positive ways, we will think in positive ways. Mental illness should have its own ribbon!

I wish Jane Pauley hadn't left the Today show. She represented the style of journalism that is sorely lacking in television news today.

[@andrewheydt2179]

she is a brilliant woman very highly educated talented hardworking ambitious journalist. this is great that she is doing something to fight the horrible stigma and shame that so many people have faced for decades which really shouldn't exist and create much more empathy and knowledge for the tens of millions of americans that very often suffer from some mentall illness which has very often been happening all over America for over 4 decades. its shocking how little progress has been made in reducing stigma bringing empathy to the millions of americans suffering very severely.

She is not making much sense. She keeps referring about Alan Alda. She never said what happened to her.

Pauley once ripped into a very pretty actress who was engaged to another actor. She was very bitchy, very catty, petty, but the actress took the high road and ignored Jane.
