The pictures are right, but I think that website may not be the real Buck Mason site (compare to buckmason.com).
I was about to score a pack of those on-sale black tees but noticed there's no size guide, then some other things that felt "off."

Herriot writes about how not that many years later, he would have been able to just give the cattle antibiotics, but at the time there wasn't much to be done.

I keep getting hung up on the patchworked *that way* too!
They could have placed the flag/color bits in a way that complemented the cut (those star underarms &stripe bicep band???) or skipped the suiting areas & gone all flag/colors. Neither would make it look *good*, but it would make visual sense.

The hats have the possibility of this even before they're done! Lots of knitters knit in public.
Plus, saturating the landscape with these small protest objects creates a constant reminder to ICE that they're not welcome. Grinding down their morale isn't trivial.
I'm not sure whether I'm more distressed by the black leather fedora or the decision to go with brown shoes.

Adding: Don't expect to get better in a steady progression. Just do the thing.
Repeat. Maybe every week?
At some point, you'll notice that a step that had been hard or frustrating or onerous now feels normal to do.
You won't now the bestest at the thing, but you'll have improved. And it feels good.
The hardest part is you won't be good at that right away either.
I can't say I'm totally over it, but a thing that helped me was having a *small* challenging thing w/ observable results that I committed to practicing, then being amazed that I got better at it. For me it was weightlifting and bread.
Fiber arts certainly aren't the highest-drama community online, but they're no slackers, either.

For Tertiary Healthcare/Health Care, old version retrieves 2,083 and new retrieves 1 with no overlap. For Scoping Review/s, old version retrieves 666 and new retrieves 2,414 with no overlap.
This is weird, right? Not just me misunderstanding something about MeSH changes?
I checked these to see if the old version got directed to results for the new one even though they're in quotes and I'm seeing something weird.
"Pain, Postoperative"[Mesh] retrieves 54,691 results; Postoperative Pain"[Mesh] retrieves 2,474, with #1 NOT #2 retrieving 54,537.

Zotero is free and will insert them into a Word document for you in whatever format your publisher wants, and keeps track of the numbering. Doesn't prevent gore in your socks, but it isn't formatting gore.

Did the reduction in 1:1s come from the mitigation measures or were the mitigation measures added after?
We're also stretched thin and at risk of thinner, so I'm interested in your strategies.

14.12.2025 21:59 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Maybe some is due to copy cataloging? (the practice of copying and editing extant records for use in a library's own catalog.) One poorly-chosen categorization could proliferate that way.

This applies to ebooks and audiobooks, too: each "copy" can be read by one patron at a time, and often is good for a finite number of check-outs.

Today is the 55th anniversary of the day Florence, Oregon exploded a beached whale.
The Oregon Historical Society has a recently digitized version of original footage taken by a reporter/cameraman duo.
