   ShareThis compatibility fix
   The global `img{display:block;}` reset above is the ONLY
   thing that was actually broken: it forced ShareThis's network
   icons out of normal inline flow, which is what ShareThis's own
   button CSS relies on to position the icon next to its label.
   This restores just that — inline image display with middle
   vertical alignment — and otherwise leaves ShareThis's own
   button spacing/positioning system alone instead of fighting it
   with a competing flex layout.
