HumanTide is a holiday for celebrating humankind, extending gratitude beyond our existing social circles to our whole amazing species!
It was founded by me (Cora Lee) in 2023. With help from partners and friends, I have celebrated the holiday each year on May 10th. We celebrate by giving flowers and messages of gratitude to folks in our community here in Seattle.
Below are some photos and artwork from past HumanTide festivities.
And here’s a directory of related substack and instagram posts:

I would love to see HumanTide festivities expand. I hope that anyone out there who feels compelled to celebrate will do so! Reach out to me if you want help figuring out how to do that :)
Also, DID KNOW KNOW that anyone in the world can create a holiday at any time and celebrate it in any way they want to? If there’s a holiday in your heart yearning to manifest, I pray you’ll give it space to spring forth. I would love to see it!
