Script not recognising Categories

Trying to debug a script, so here is a snippet: I’m basically trying to filter down a selection of multiple elements to just handle the text notes. However, my attempt to Filter by Boolean Mask is futile since my == node doesn’t seem to give True results.

I’ve tried OOTB and Clockwork nodes, both aren’t working so I must be doing something wrong.

Thank you, worked beautifully.
Given my Python knowledge is clearly limited, can you explain why this works?
What does the x.Name actually do?

it’s more DesignScript Here in the codeblock
(x represent Revit.Elements.Category)
