Please sign this petition. Almost all of the 500k books that they removed are actually no longer in print and inaccessible to many.
The publishers did not care about those books in the first place but they did this anyway because they have vendetta against open access.

Completely in French:
TV5 MONDE Apprendre le français - has a lot of good listening exercises
Le Point du FLE - redirects to a lot of good French content and comprehension exercises
RFI Savoirs - there are a few collections here that look interesting
Links I found on Quebec’s website:
Banque de dépannage linguistique (BDL)
Banque d’exercices de français (bank of French exercises)
For English speakers:
Lawless French - covers a large variety of basic subjects
Français interactif (from University of Texas at Austin) - includes a textbook
Tex’s French Grammar - grammar lessons and exercises with fun characters
soft reminder: don’t be so hard on yourself if you fall back into an old pattern!! habits are so hard to change especially when you’re not doing great. when we need the most comfort, old patterns seem like the quick comfort or relief. blaming yourself can make you feel worse and you don’t deserve it especially when you’re already suffering. as long as you pick yourself off the floor and try again, you’re doing good! keep trying until you feel at home in your new routines or habits (yes, it will happen). changing will take more time than expected, but that’s okay. you’re stronger than you feel and you can always try again tomorrow ✨

There this french radio station called FIP that in addition to being a great radio station has different webradios each dedicated to one musical genre. AND they've created a new one called "Sacré Français !" that only plays songs in french, and not just from France but from the whole francophone world! They are pretty eclectic in their choices and I thought it could interest some of you if you're looking for new artists to add to your language playlists :)
You can listen here or in the Radio France app.
PS: the webradios are music only, there's no talking. But I definitely recommend listening to the regular FIP station if you want small doses of listening practice, they do speak in a relaxed way!
Here to learn languages and to feel a little less alone on this journey :) 25 - she/her
