Any other instructors suddenly having issues with embedded images in pages?

I’ve been teaching using Canvas for 10 years across 4 colleges, and I’m suddenly having an issue with images I have embedded in my pages for the first time as of this month.

When I copy my previous course (all content) OR import it from a Canvas export file, about 75% of the images are broken in student view. This is happening in multiple colleges I work at; it isn’t specific to one college.

Help desk says this is because the images are referring back to my old course that the pages were copied from, and students don’t have access to my old course (only I do).

But I’ve never had this issue before in 10 years and I copy courses every semester.

I’m having to re-embed dozens of images across 4 active courses right now.

What is going on?? I’m worried I’ll have to do this again in the fall and it’s going to cost me hours and hours of work. Of course I’m an adjunct so my pay doesn’t change based on extra Canvas work, so trying to avoid that.

Pool safety at in-laws’ home

Context: I have a 20mo son. We visit our in-laws’ home for holidays and birthdays, so once every month or two. The gathers can be 12 or more people, lots of moving between indoors and outdoors. E we They have a pool with no fence around it. There are 2 access points: sliding glass door and garage (go through door to garage, go through door to side of the house).

I would like to ask my MIL if we can install a safety system for when we visit, but I’m not sure what the best system would be. It seems like an alarm on the glass door and garage door would work, but one that can be disabled when we’re not there if that exists? But then how do we remember to enable it when we’re there? Location-based reminder on our phones?

I’d love suggestions for specific products or other solutions you have used. Ty!!

How will the show deal with Marius? Come speculate with me

I’m currently reading The Vampire Lestat, almost done, don’t personally care about having future books spoiled for me.

I’m so curious how the show is going to deal with Marius’s long, elaborate, and important backstory. Idk if it will be in this season or the next one (although the fact that Marius has been cast seems significant), but are we going to get a frame within a frame within a frame—meaning within Daniel’s modern documentary timeline we get flashbacks to Lestat in 1780s Paris etc and then further flashbacks to Marius in Rome/Egypt? Will it just be Marius verbally telling the story of being given The Dark Gift and finding The Ones Who Must Be Kept?

What do you think Rollins et al. will do? (Assuming of course they keep the basics of this plotline intact).

And as an aside: I’m a big horror reader, and the scene where Lestat meets The Ones Who Must Be Kept is one of the creepiest things I’ve ever read.
