Abstract | The world, and the component parts that people generally take for granted about it are those moments put on pause, or, perhaps more accurately, peeled away, revealing something else entirely underneath. The world at the moment of suspension or peeling gives way to another world, or flashes thereof, however brief. To the author, nothing represents this feeling more than the snow day, and it is that feeling that the author will preliminarily explore, particularly with respect to its political and educational implications. The author has come to call this feeling, this sense of briefly and illicitly being able to peek behind the curtain of the real world to see what possibilities might lie behind it, "affective anarchism." Affective anarchism is the feeling a person gets when they can genuinely see some possible options for desires of connection and fulfilment lived out, if only for a flash. The author argues that politics and education need to be guided by these goals, these desires, these vignettes of possible futures. There is a need to cultivate the radical, utopian, and even seemingly childish impulse within all people that still wants to ask without any hint of irony, "why can't every day be a snow day?"
