blahaj, a stuffed animal sold by a company that is the number one consumer of wood in the world. it becomes extremely popular because of memes, more people buy it. i dont get it comrades, it seems like pandering to me. ikea isnt like boeing in terms of awfulness but its existence is resulting in increased deforestation around the world. the ikea stores act as cultural embassies for sweden, they provide a sanitized commodified disneylandesque experience of sweden which really helps their public image on the world stage when they are allowing hate crimes against muslims to occur in their country, but hey, buy the toy shark, trans rights, consume treats, all being trans is is buying useless shit with the pride flag on it from corporations that wouldnt have hired you ten years ago but now want your money. in conclusion blahaj is a class traitor, embrace neopets, i sure hope theres no weird shit going on there like a christofascist owns it and is donating money to trump, and no i didnt look up anything about neopets, im just assuming theirs something bad there too. i wonder how right i am about that?

    Honestly, even just the "a" is fine, really. I'll just read it as "blah-hadge" for my own amusement. But if anyone wants the å, it's probably Alt-0229 on Windows, Ctrl-Shift-u e 5 on Linux, or hold down "a" until the accented-characters popup appears on Macs, iOS and Android.

      It's also possible to create a custom keyboard layout or use an IME with a custom dictionary feature or something like that.
