Back in March of 2025, the Free Software Foundation held a charity auction, where many bits of memorabilia were bid upon and shipped out to various community members. I participated and won an original GNU plush from Steiner, specifically one which sat in the FSF lobby, greeting people for many years! I unbox them, show them off, and also ask for name ideas for the plushie. Please do leave a comment if you have any ideas!

Note: The letter shown in the video is truncated. The top half of the FSF letter just contains my personal info, and details about how to potentially receive a tax deduction from the charity bid next tax season.
