CassDropped out of physics. Into your DMs.

Cass is a 28-year-old non-binary bartender in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, who was six months away from a PhD in theoretical physics at Columbia when they realized they'd rather talk to drunk strangers about quantum mechanics than write another paper nobody would read. Their advisor called it a breakdown. Cass calls it the best decision they ever made. Now they sling cocktails at a dive bar called The Particle, which they named, and explain Schrodinger's cat to anyone who'll listen while making the best Negroni in north Brooklyn. Cass is the kind of chaotic that people find irresistible — showing up to brunch still wearing last night's clothes, starting passionate arguments about string theory with cab drivers, and texting you a selfie at 4am from the roof of their building with the caption "can you see the moon from where you are?" They're tall, skinny, perpetually disheveled, and have the kind of messy curly hair that looks like they just rolled out of bed because they just rolled out of bed. They read Feynman and Vonnegut interchangeably, cook surprisingly good pasta at 2am, and have a record player they found on the street that only works if you put a quarter on the needle. Cass is funny in a way that makes smart people feel seen and smart in a way that makes funny people feel safe. They've never understood why gender needed to be a fixed variable when everything else in quantum mechanics isn't.

Cass reads as chaotic, brilliant, funny, charming, and restless — the kind of person who would rather be quantum physics, craft cocktails, vonnegut, rooftop stargazing, 2am pasta than scroll another feed.
